I attended the 11 o'clock service for the first time on Sunday. No one greeted us as we walked in,…read moreand there was no sense of community to meet others. There were no hymnals, only projected lyrics on a screen. They had police in the foyer, and it became clear why when the sermon was about politics. The pastor encouraged the congregation to vote against same-sex marriage and a woman's right to reproductive care. It was very clear from the sermon and scriptures that this church also encourages submission to God and the Bible over compassion for others. It was the most alienating and devastated I've ever felt leaving a church. I will never return, and I would be so ashamed to raise my kids in this church with their outright hateful messaging. If you're looking for a welcoming, accepting church to visit, I do not recommend Trinity Church at the Oceanfront. You will be disappointed and heartbroken. I would give negative stars if I could. This church gives Christianity a bad name.

This one guy (pretty sure he had a position in the church) got up on stage and said "You can not be a Christian if you do not get involved.) I just feel this was inappropriate for the people who do not know the Bible. Very misleading. Please don't reply with some kind of excuse like I misunderstood. I did not. I heard what I heard. Just be careful in the words you choose to use. I wish I knew who it was who made this statement. Please do not respond to this review at all. I don't need apologies or explanations.

The pastor is pretty dope, everything is pretty relatable, and you can find something that touches you even if you aren't religious. It's a cool church, which I don't think I'd have describle a church as "cool". But for real tho, when is the band dropping an album? I need that asap.

Here is a confession: I am what is known as a serial church hopper…read more I have actually attended services here before but found myself trying to find a location that was closer to my house at the time. My boyfriend's, mother lives in Chesapeake and we live on the opposite ends of town so... C.C location was perfectly located in the middle. C.C is non-denominational but still has traditional values. I would describe the church as casual and friendly. Services are held @ 9 and 11am on Sundays. I actually attended last Sunday and found that the message really hit close to home. As a church hopper I think I found my place to call my church home.... for now. Thinking about joining a weekly small group, which would be a first for me! XOXO

**Title:** Extremely Disappointed - Not a Welcoming Church…read more I have been walking my dog on this church's property for nearly 10 years. During that time, I considered this place part of my community. I've given blood here, picked up trash, and even helped keep the property safe by running off people doing donuts in the parking lot. Unfortunately, my recent experience has completely changed how I view this church. I was asked to leave the premises simply because I was wearing a poncho. They claimed they didn't recognize me, which is absolutely false given my long history of being around this property. I am appalled. A church should be welcoming--especially to those in its own community. Instead, I was profiled and treated like an outsider. This is not the behavior I expect from a place that claims to represent God's love.

VERY Rude Staff Member-…read more I had a REALLY upsetting experience with a member of the seating staff today that I feel needs to be addressed. My family, friends, and I (a group of six) arrived just before worship began, and as usual, floor seating was limited. Since we didn't want to disrupt anyone, we chose to stand off to the side near the risers and wait for the seats to open up. This is something we've seen people do regularly every Sunday. While we were quietly standing there, not blocking any aisles and already engaged in worship, a staff member approached us. In a very condescending and harsh tone, he said things like, "This isn't a sporting event, you can't just stand here and watch," and repeatedly told us we "needed to get out of the way." His delivery felt unnecessarily aggressive and dismissive, as if we were doing something wrong when we were simply waiting respectfully. The overall interaction came across as rude and frankly unwelcoming. We were not being disruptive in any way. In fact, we were trying to be considerate by not navigating through a darkened auditorium once worship had already started. To make matters worse, we had invited close family friends to attend for the first time, and this interaction left them so uncomfortable that they've already said they won't be returning. This experience was deeply disappointing and not at all reflective of the welcoming environment one would expect. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, because no one should feel spoken to or treated this way--especially in a place that is meant to be inclusive and inviting.

I Love vineyard church, and I haven't even been to it yet…read more I'm personally friends with one of the staff, so I get to have a sneak peak at the heart of the leadership. And they live behind the scenes carrying the Lords heart to Love God and to Truly Love people. The way they've expressed genuine desire to see life transformed by the Hands of God is truly refreshing coming all the way from Washington. They don't leave it at simply wanting an encounter of Jesus for those around them, but place into action the steps to ushering people into His presence and a life lived out for Jesus. Can't wait to experience the church here soon!

However, what makes a church isn't the full calander, yummy dinners or an effective homeless ministry, it's the people! I feel very welcome when I am there and missed when I am gone. They are caring, thoughtful and not perfect, which is something I can relate to. I have made this place my home church and would recommend this church to anyone looking for a loving church family. See you Sunday!

But God had led me to this church so I went. Immediately, my family was blessed by excellent Biblical teaching from Sunday School/Sunday Service and examples of authentic Christianity where people really love and take care of others. There are many volunteers who serve: in Sunday School teaching where I learn something new every week (even after 34 years of church!), in the Nursery to help share the responsibility, at a truly amazing youth center, talented musicians on the worship team, and in outreach, like the Beach Bucket, Homeland Disciples, and PIN ministry on-site. There is so much being done from this place, it is truly amazing. Even if we have to move, we will come back to Beach regularly, as it has become a home to us and part of our family. We need you too! Come to Sunday School at 10 am Sundays and service at 11 and hear what God is saying to His church. Share a hug, pray with a stranger and make a new friend! God is moving and His blessings abound!

Being from SC it almost brought me to tears. I like that they have a separate children's service and I plan on bring my mentee, Jaylin back with me next time. The church is literally 3 minutes from my house which is super convenient and learned that the pastor and his family are in the neighborhood adjacent to mine! It's a small worlds after all. Overall, left with my cup full. I plan on returning next Sunday.....
