I wouldn't drive 40+ miles (and try to relocate closer) if it wasn't.

It is part of the PCA denomination, but the worship format is contemporary. Sermons are Biblically based, and both pastors are excellent speakers. When I first moved back to Irvine, my family and I were expecting to have a difficult time finding a church that we could easily plug into. However, God led us here very quickly, and the church and its members have been a huge blessing. Many things are great about the church, but one standout has been how welcoming the pastors and congregation are to people from diverse walks of life.

Of course, my son took it. This is it important a little bit later on in the story. I'll make it short and quick. I one moment of the service. My son was making a little too much noise with that toy car and because his brother had left to go use the restroom immediately calm down and that was the end of it About 10 seconds later. Another volunteer comes up to me telling me that we'll just be the last of his hand from mind you. He's already sitting down my lap , Completely quiet you which I just tell her. Yes as you can see. He's calm. Then she says well I've been at the very Front and I've already heard him multiple times. At this point, I can't help get defensive because no you have not. I don't know who you've heard but no you have not. My son hasn't made no more noise than someone yawning or putting their coffee cup down. I'll let it be known that can't be true. This was his first noise out and it was completely put out in literally 15 seconds. Which mind you you guys were the one who keep him a toy at the beginning of the Service I felt extremely comfortable after this and extremely unwelcome. How are you guys going to argue over normal human noises? In fact, I would've been argue that many adults there are making louder noises than my son, when and part of the fact you guys were the one who handed him a toy. I don't know What You Were Expecting and to come up to Me telling me that you've been hearing him over 20 feet away. It's just completely a lie and I'm not gonna except that coming from anyone anywhere. Needless to say, I will never be coming back, and I can not te that. This is probably just a bad experience with a specific volunteer. Not the whole church itself. However, it just being one of the first times. This is the impression that I have, and I know, there's a better fir elsewhere that actually welcomes everybody of all ages and not just tries to keep a certain image up I was almost forgetting, just to put the cherry on top. I left the service early because of how uncomfortable I felt. I felt as if my son couldn't sneeze without her. Trying to find any reason to kick us out of the area. And when I did leave literally the front door guy shakes his head at Me. I am just appalled with this behavior. Literally do Better

Everyone is so kind and welcoming. With a great diversity of people from all types of backgrounds. We all accept each other even if we are different. The worship is incredible and the service times make it easy for most people. I have been to so many churches in OC but none stress discipleship like Harvest. For those who get involved, you will be looked after, cared for, challenged to grow in your faith. The focus is prayer and discipleship. Spiritual growth comes from having close relationships with others like you who want to grow. Each person helps each other through love and fellowship. One of the other great elements of Harvest is our senior pastor Greg Laurie. Every week, we get the best messages. It is a blessing to be a part of this church.

Everything felt well organized and planned. The people taking me in took a minute to ask my name and connect. In the teen area check-in wasn't so organized- but there was a new system. The 3 "greeters" (all teens) were neither warm nor welcoming, but I was told everyone inside was quite welcoming. The teen message was reported back as one of the best ever before heard. I found the crowd to look pretty mixed and people looked like the average OC people that I encounter just about everywhere else around. The message was incredible and the guests message was equally inspirational. The thing that stood out to me was the message imprinted on me in a way that I don't feel happens other places. I didn't take notes, and yet I found myself able to recall the message well and access it through the week. While I'd heard the name Greg Laurie before, I didn't know much beyond that. I left hungry to know more about pastor Greg and his ministry, and constantly seeking out more of his messages. Parking wasn't the most fun I've ever had though. Save extra time to park.

She loves Jesus and became a more passionate young lady 5 years ago when she was asked if she would like to volunteer at evening Sunday services. Kind, genuine people see that. 5 staff members harassed her, then fired her, plus gave her a cruel label. She has a physical and cognitive disability. She cannot drive so has always taken Lyft there and back and she lives much farther away. She has many friends there, some who have stopped going to RHC because of the harassment she endured before they told her to not come to Sunday night services. But this IS otherwise an amazing, welcoming church with pastors who are deep, reflective, engaging, compassionate and are full of God's grace and love. She has learned a valuable lesson and moved on to churches who welcome her volunteering and attending. My review is only for those staff members who discriminate explicitly the disabled adults volunteering.

We've been here three times since last year, and I can't believe I never checked in before this. Our first visit was during the 2017 NAMM show. We were fortunate to actually attend NAMM and found that an artist that we'd recently discovered (Antoine Dufour) was playing a set during the convention. We bought our tickets and drove from Anaheim to Irvine, to this little church in a strip mall. The space is welcoming and open, which you'd probably expect from a space that's normally a church. The thing that I loved about being here is that the pastor opened up the sets by explaining why they decided to do this: they have a passion for the arts and want to contribute to artists' successes as much as possible. I can get behind that! They have a good sound system, and no matter the setup (we've been to shows that have just rows of chairs lined up, and to a show where they had small couches mixed in with the chairs), you'll experience decent audio quality. I signed up for the upcoming shows mailing list, and it's interesting to see the acts they have coming through. Like I said, we've been three times, and I keep an eye on their calendar just to make sure we're not missing anybody. Definitely a great venue, and one we're always happy to visit.
