If I were to picture a mirage in the desert, it might look a bit like Holy Trinity Monastery, minus…read morethe gigantic cross. The cross is impressive, the first thing you see, but it isn't what draws me to these grounds. There are so many celestial nooks and crannies to explore here that you might need to give yourself a couple of hours to fully appreciate all that HTM has to offer. Yes, some of the buildings are in need of a paint job and a little TLC but that doesn't detract from the beauty here. The gazebo woven of living branches that beckons you to the front of the church, the lush, open bird sanctuary, the meditation pond, complete with bridge and giant Koi, THESE are the things you'll remember. And if you're so inclined, there are outdoor stations of the cross, set amidst the peaceful woods that surround the church. There is a bookstore, thrift shop and RV park. They even offer an opportunity for a retreat, if you ever need a break from the madness of the modern world.

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! I had the pleasure of taking a retreat to help me…read morereflect on relationships, prayer and where God wants me to go in life. Words cannot express the amazing experience I had at this very progessive and open minded monastery - Holy Trinity Monastery. So here are some common monastery myths debunked because this place was AMAZING! Very reasonable rates, great value RVs and travelers are welcomed! Myth #1: Monasteries have walls surrounding them like a fence. UM NO! This place has nothing but open spaces (except walls in my room). They also have a library, a gift shop, a chapel, dinning hall and little meditation bungalows. Myth #2: Monasteries are not open to new ideas. This place has the outdoor stations of the cross! Most churchs have indoor stations of the cross with premade images - at this monastery, you can imagine your own. Myth #3: Monasteries are mostly gardens and large stone buildings. There is a beautiful iron and cement bridge designed and built by an engineer (a lay person too!) living on the monastery. The bridge crosses a pond actually has koi fish and peacocks walking around it. Myth #4: Only Monks live at a monastery and only men live at a monastery. This monastery is one of the few that allows your average Joe or Jane to live on the grounds or just visit. Myth #5: There are only religious books at a monastery. The monastery library contained thousands upon thousands of non religious books, even a whole section on CS Lewis and fiction books like "Alice in Wonderland". Myth #6: All masses are held indoors at a monastery. The biggest cross with the biggest outdoor altar with one of the biggest outdoor churches you've ever seen is at this monastery. During the summer and for special occasions mass is held outside. Myth #7: You eat soup out of wooden bowls at a monastery and only have 1 meal per day. THE FOOD HERE IS DELICIOUS! Every morning, lunchtime and dinner, we had something different, from a complete salad bar with breaded chicken breast to homeade fench toast with oatmeal and pecans.

I'm not going to lie I was very skeptical on this church. I've never been to a non-domination…read morechurch. I've always been to Baptist, but this Pastor speaks the truth. He doesn't sugarcoat things. I love his honest sermons, and the biggest goal is to get people to Jesus! I felt the Holy Spirit the first day there.

Pantano Christian Church is non-denomination. It prides itself on Loving People to Jesus. And that's just what they do. If you're in Tucson, definitely plan a visit. The church is huge, but everyone is family, just like at smaller churches. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. The cafeteria food is delicious....best chefs around. Almost every message feels so personal, like the sermon is just for me...deep meanings and great teachings. Pantano has so many strengths. One of their main strengths is with the kids. Not just toddlers or elementary, but they have fantastic groups and teachings for middle and high school ages. And if you have any availability, join in and volunteer. You can be a greeter, help with food, serve communion, help in kids' classrooms, support the audio, etc. The church is decorated well with a huge open area, basketball nets, rock climbing, etc.

A very beautiful small town church. The outside grotto is lovely. Parking is on the street.read more
