I had attended various churches over the years but felt something was lacking. But at WABC it's easy to know that they teach the Gospel as it should be taught. There is no ultra conservative dogma or any strict fundamentalism. It's simply a Gospel centered and Christ centered church...and a good one at that. Because of WABC I have more friends than I ever had in my life before.

Long time we've been looking for a community that works with us and here even the staff so far have been wonderful this is a place of god and no one is above or better than anyone that's not the point here, it's to worship together and be in the presence of god!

I've never written a review for a church before, so this is new for me. I first visited this church…read morea couple of months ago, but I never made it to the preaching because the entire beginning of the service focused on giving money. I went back today thinking maybe that experience was an exception. Unfortunately, it was even more pronounced this time. As you walk in, you're handed a card outlining different levels of giving you should strive for. Before the service even begins, there are slides on the screens about giving. After the songs, a gentleman came out to speak about giving before the offering buckets were passed around, while scriptures about giving played continuously on the video boards. Once that concluded, he went on to talk again about the card we received upon entering and the importance of giving. Up to that point, there had been no message about the Gospel--only repeated emphasis on money. Because of this, I can't comment on the actual sermon, as I didn't stay long enough to hear one either time. I'll be continuing my search for another church. I gave it two stars for the music.

The house band at Avondale is very loud and energetic. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you people. The kick bass drum rocked my body with percussion with each boom. I'm not sure if that's healthy or just too much exuberance. Hearing "Joy to the World" in rock-type rhythm was odd to this boomer. My early Jesus People days in the 1970's had Jesus Rock (Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Keith Green, Wilson McKinley, etc.) but it seemed more tame than what I hear at CCV. Is that a bad thing? I don't know. Maybe I'm just getting old and now long for the old-school hymns I used to tire of when I was a restless young man. "On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand. ..." 2. The best part of my 4 visits to CCV (twice to Avondale) has been the sermons. Well-polished speakers with an engaging style. I haven't gotten sleepy once. That's a good thing. But not seeing a real person up there is a downer. I watched yesterday's sermon again on YouTube later in the day. So maybe if I can't stomach the lack of reverence in the music, I can view the message online. Ashley's sermon was superb, as was Mark's (iirc) last week. 3. It is great that Bible passages are read and usually displayed on the screens. The Bible is our foundational literature. It makes me want to read more. No "feel-good" or "God will prosper you if you give..." false teachings at CCV. 4. There seems to be a revival of sorts occurring in American now. Coming to a well-attended church service is one thing, but all the smiling greetings don't plug you into the life of the church. A person needs to have a way to enter in, smaller groups perhaps. I have to explore that on my own, so it would be good to mention each Sat/Sun ways to become a real part of the life of the church. 5. The Avondale CCV had a nice mix of races and cultures in the service I attended, fitting to the Avondale area. One body of Christ. Great.
