I went for a celebration of life with my husband and he was fantastic. I wish I lived closer to be able to go to his service on Sundays

The positive: 1. The worship team is great. Their voices are…read moreexcellent. I enjoyed their singing. The drums were little too load, but all in all, they are recording ready. 2. Was impressed by their food court and merchandise area. Negative: 1.Too many women ushers, and a woman pastor. Women in pastoral roles not biblical. I got the vibe that this is a very women centric church, maybe even progressive. 2. They breezed through communion. You basically pick up a sealed cup at the door. The female pastor talked about communion for a second then walked off the stage leaving us to figure what to do next. We were looking around to see what everyone else was doing and then we "got it", it's time to take communion on our own. I'm sorry but, although it's a symbolism of Christ's blood and body, the pastor should actually lead you through this as he performs it himself. To me, this act should carry more significance. 3. The Senior pastor comes on the teleprompter to preach and he was not on stage. Clearly it was prerecorded from an earlier sermon. For whatever reason he was not there, a real person in physical form should have been preaching. We left about 5 to 10 minutes into the sermon once my wife and I realized there was no one on stage. Unfortunately, we will not return.

I have never given a review of a church before and I never thought I would. The campus is nice, the…read moreplace is clean and everyone I met was nice. The praise and worship was fine. To each his own on that. I don't care if the band is amazing, it's your time to praise God. My issue was scripture. I came to a ccv over a year ago and left extremely underwhelmed. It was more of a slide show than church. I tried it again tonight hoping I was too judgmental last visit. The service is done remotely with no teacher or pastor teaching live to the congregation. This is a seeker friendly church. I saw one bible in the entire crowd. It was very busy. The 'sermon' was basically a business lesson on creating systems in your life. The pastor (on the screen) quoted more authors than he did scripture. He held the Word of God the entire time and never taught it. If you're looking to go to church be check the box, this is your place. If you want to dig into scripture, be challenged and grow in your knowledge and understanding of the bible, I'm afraid this isn't the place. I left with a sunken feeling that the churches in our country have grown cold. We are still looking for a great, bible teaching church near us. We will keep looking. I'm not mad or upset with ccv, however, at the same time, believe if the pastor would open the bible and teach through it, completely and verse by verse, this church could radically impact the valley. They have no shortage of people and the impact they could have would be immense. I pray the pastoral staff seeks God and gets a burning desire to share HIS word, not a bunch of slide shows, modern self help ideas and authors. God's word is powerful and should be taught every time the churches meet for service. I wish them the best!

Upon my first visit to New Life Community Church I was warmly greeted by the Greeters, Ushers,…read morestaff, and the volunteers who work in the café area where coffee is served. Most importantly, the pastor teaches Biblically sound doctrine. The church's website has its core beliefs posted and church sermons are available online.

Every time I have attended a Sunday service at this church, I have left more frustrated than when I…read morearrived. After multiple visits over the years, my concerns haven't changed, they've only become clearer. The Pulpit here feels more like a feel good ego booster than a place of Biblical Authority and Accountability. Topical preaching, as it is consistently delivered here, feels shallow and misaligned with what people truly need in this season. We are living in a time where the world is loud, chaotic, and spiritually heavy. Scripture makes it clear that we are in a battle, not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12) and people are walking into church desperate for truth, clarity, and spiritual equipping. Instead, the messages often revolve around surface-level topics like saving money, managing anxiety, or even personal anecdotes that feel disconnected from the weight of what believers are facing. There is a real hunger right now for solid, biblical teaching. People are not just looking for encouragement, they are looking for transformation through The Word of God. With biblical literacy at an all-time low, the responsibility of a pastor is not to entertain or lightly motivate, but to teach, correct, and equip (2 Timothy 3:16-17). I have yet to hear a message here from Pastor Tom that reflects the depth, authority, or conviction that pastoral leadership requires. 1 Timothy 3 lays out clear qualifications for church leaders: self-controlled, respectable, able to teach, and above reproach. Leadership in the church is not a platform for personal preferences or casual storytelling, it is a calling that demands humility and accountability. John 3:30 reminds us, "He must increase, but I must decrease." When that posture is missing, it shows. At any given moment, someone can walk through those doors completely broken, searching for something real, something eternal. That is not a small responsibility. That is a weight pastors are called to carry with reverence and seriousness. Messages should point people to Christ, confront sin, strengthen faith, and prepare believers to stand firm in a spiritually dark world, not simply offer life tips or light encouragement. After giving this church chance after chance since 2021, I can confidently say this is not a place where I have found that kind of leadership or teaching. It often feels like there is more emphasis on comfort than conviction, and more desire for agreement than accountability. My prayer is that leadership takes a step back, examines Scripture honestly, and realigns with what biblical shepherding is truly meant to be. The church is too important, and the times we are living in are too serious, for anything less.
