    Mission Church - New visitor mug

    Mission Church

    I have been attending Mission for about 1 1/2 months. When I entered those doors to the foyer, I…read moreimmediately felt like this was home. I love that they serve coffee, tea, water and donut holes that you can either take into the auditorium or can enjoy in the cafe tables in the lobby. In the lobby there are screens to watch the service and there are also a few rows of seating in-front of the large screen that are like auditorium seats. This is a great option for people that might want to have a more casual experience or for young families with strollers or just don't want to have their children checked into the kids corner. They provide new visitors with a mug and information like the mission app. Everyone has been so welcoming and kind. I have attended with friends and I have come by myself. Each service makes me feel safe and part of a community. I was lucky enough to attend their new visitors night on April 13th. They fed us, provided coffee, tea and water and we got to sit at tables in the main lobby to meet other new visitors and hear the mission statement of mission and find out more information about how to get involved. If you are looking for a new church, you should check out Mission. It's a great place for growing your faith and for building God connections.

    My girlfriend Jenny and I attended Mission Church this morning. The worship itself was meaningful,…read moreand the message of the church clearly centers on Jesus, which we appreciated. However, our experience during worship was uncomfortable. After we found our seats and worship had already begun, a volunteer staff member approached us and said she needed six seats that overlapped with where we were sitting. I told her we would do the Christian thing and move out of the way. She then suggested we ask others to move over, but the row was already full, and the people next to us were also reserving seats for others. In that moment, it honestly felt like we were being pushed out of our seats rather than welcomed. To avoid causing disruption, we moved into the aisle to continue worshiping, then stood in the back. Eventually, we left the worship area altogether and sat in the open common area instead. We came to worship God, not to hold onto seats, so we chose peace over conflict. Still, for a church that emphasizes community and welcome, this interaction left us feeling displaced rather than cared for, especially during worship. I believe Mission Church has good intentions and a strong foundation in Christ, but I hope they can improve how seating and volunteer interactions are handled so guests feel welcomed, respected, and valued rather than inconvenienced during worship.

    We live in Ventura hills and every hour looked forward to hearing the church bells…read moreOur neighbors want to know why we can't hear the bell anymore We really miss it! Always look forward to hearing the bell every hour. Also best pre school and beautiful church.

    What a welcoming group of people! And the sermon today was really inspiring -- I started by…read morewatching online, and was pleased. The Worship Team are very talented; not overpowering, professional sound, and real believers. Today I decided to go in person. Yay. Today the church actually had their first choir singing (and incredible organ piping through the beautiful sanctuary). Outside (at the mid-morning service at 10:30am) you can come and worship without a mask... Inside (at the 9:00am) it's wonderful, and with the mask if you don't feel safe yet. I have been church shopping ever since moving to the area -- for 7 months -- and I'm so glad I found this place. No one was rude, or ignored me, or anything of the kind... it is a place I will return next Sunday...and again and again. Was especially impressed with the outside activities offered, including the lunch picnics in the park across the street, the game nights, and the service projects coming up. I'm onboard!! Thank you to everyone who was kind and listened to this stranger amongst your midst.
