I've been at Vive Church for almost four years now and have been serving pretty much that whole…read moretime. This house has shaped me in more ways than I can explain. I love a house that unapologetically preaches the Bible and not only that, equips its members to actually live it out. When my now husband and I started dating last January, he started coming to church with me. I invited him into something that had already changed my life, and then I got to watch it change his. The leadership here is so intentional and so dedicated to people. They really see you. They call things out of you that you might even miss in yourself. Watching him get activated in his faith was so special because it was real. It was genuine growth. Because of that culture that is so beautiful here at Vive, we have both been able to step more confidently into our calling of leading the next generation. It feels like such an honor to be in a place that does not just talk about purpose but actually equips you to walk in it. If I am being honest, when I first started coming years ago, I was hesitant to fully get involved. I would show up and serve but still keep parts of myself guarded. Once I really leaned in and allowed the leadership and community to love on me, everything shifted. The last three years especially have been exponential growth in my faith. My relationship with God is deeper, more personal, and more intentional than it has ever been. And it is not just a church, it is a family. I met my closest friends here. My wedding was full of people from this house. We have been continuously blessed by the leadership and guidance we have received, not just spiritually but in our careers and personal lives. Every aspect of our lives has been touched by leaders who genuinely dedicate their time to pour into you and go the extra mile for you. I am so grateful for a church that invests in people, believes in them, and calls them higher. This place has strengthened my faith, impacted my marriage, and positioned us to lead with confidence and conviction.

I was invited to Vive a few years ago and instantly felt at home. The people are so kind and…read moregenuine, and everything is done with excellence, from coffee, to worship, to church planting, to discipleship. Pastors Adam and Keira lead with bold faith, big vision, and genuine love for people. Getting plugged in changed everything for me. Serving on teams and joining a home group gave me real community, growth, and I even met my fiancé! It's been such a blessing to be part of this house. If you're looking for a church, I highly recommend checking out Vive.

ALCF will hold its final service at the Leghorn facility on Sunday, May 5th, 2022 at 5:00 PM. This…read morecloses out the long-term, seemingly endless pastoral-Board-of Directors turmoil, which began with the ALCF's founding pastor's "moral failure," surprise resignation, and was subsequently followed by five former ALCF pastors. The final, current and sixth ALCF pastor, Gary Anderson was mysteriously absent from service on Sunday, April 24th, 2022. The facility was sold to the Palo Alto, California based Vive Church, in September, 2021. Vive subsequently evicted ALCF, for allegedly violating a long term lease, originally set to expire in 2023. Vive, a multi-racial, multicultural, multiple site, mega church will soon occupy the site as its headquarters. Vive is committed to keep using the Leghorn site for Christian works only. Vive's actions will prevent developers wrecking balls from bulldozing the facility. Hopefully and prayerfully, Vive and ALCF will continue God's work, grow and thrive. "God opens doors that no man can shut, and He shuts doors that no man can open.' God is your doorkeeper. Other people can't keep you out of your purpose; obstacles can't keep you from what God has ordained for you." -Joel Osteen. "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '" -- Jeremiah 29:11.

I'll admit it up front - this review is very biased. It's my home church, and it took a while to…read morefind one! I started here in 2003. It is an expositional Bible teaching, evangelical, fundamentalist church. If you are reading this far bear with it for a few more sentences, and following is an explanation if what this means. What you will find in our church are genuinely nice people who have a love for God and a Heart for others. You will hear the Word of God taught straight out of the Bible, and be drawn in by worship music like no other! Now what is all of that other stuff? Expositional Bible teaching means you read the Bible, study the context and the original language then "expose" how it applies in one's life. We don't teach how to make a million dollars using biblical principles. Evangelical means we take Jesus' commandment to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28) seriously. We evangelize meaning we promote and verbalize the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It does NOT mean we try to convert you to Christianity (as defined in Webster's dictionary). That's God's job. Fundamentalist is NOT a dirty word. It has become in some circles equivalent to being a terrorist. The Christian fundamentalist movement actually began in the early 1900's. A group of pastors formed a convention to confirm the fundamentals of the historic Christian faith. The church was being influenced by very liberal teachings that were not in line with what the Apostles taught (most of the New Testament). So regardless of what Rosie O'Donnell may say a Christian fundamentalist is not the same as a radical religious terrorist. We meet Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM and Thursday at 7:00 PM. The building is the Spanish 7th Day Adventist church on Sierra Vista. Check out our web site at www.ccmv.org. It has our beliefs and little briefs about our pastoral staff.

I echo all the 5 star reviews…read more We read, study and learn how to apply the teachings of the Holy Bible (NKJV)...book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. We have heartfelt worship, encouraging prayer, a wonderful head pastor and his dedicated team of pastors & elders who truly tend, feed and love the church body! I love CCMV. I've since moved to San Jose but continue to go back up to Mountain View because that's how much I truly love and feel loved and spiritually nurtured in this church body. Briefly, this is the first church I have ever actively attended. Now, don't misunderstand, I've been to churches: Catholic, baptist, pentecostal etc... and that was prior to surrendering my life to Jesus Christ. But on that fateful Sunday more than 2 years ago, when I walked into this church in my penguin pajamas & bedhead: angry at the world, looking to pick a fight, weary & lost and not trusting anyone, especially not Christians... Not one dirty look came my way, but instead hugs and welcoming smiles and faces ... and the prophetic Word of God coming through Pastor Rick Franks to pierce my heart and bring me to salvation. CCMV is all about the Gospel. Come here if you want to learn more about who Jesus is, how to have a personal relationship with Him, and get a solid bible-teaching jump start on your new faith. Jesus loves you!
