I love this church and the pastor, Greg Wendschlag. The worship is vibrate and engaging without…read morebeing bizarro. No one ran around the sanctuary waving banners over us while we tried to worship. The messages are excellent. The word is always practical and drawn out of the scriptures. Unfortunately, in my past I experienced a pastor who is comfortable telling lies, and that's made me a somewhat cynical person. Now when I look at a church, I really check it out, and especially check out everything about the pastor. This pastor, Greg, is a solid guy. A Christian. A man's man. Above all, someone who doesn't lie. There are 200 to 300 people attending the church. They have a full list of various kinds of small groups available AND Friday night softball! This church has become our home and I recommend it to anyone who is looking around for a new Church.

The people are wonderful, welcoming, and supportive. The music is great and the messages are inspiring, and Pastor Greg is down to earth and passionate. Our children love the children's group as well, and look forward to going every Sunday. We are very pleased and blessed to have found Abundant Life, and will definitely be attending regularly.

I truly believe the preaching at this church is special. The Lord has blessed CBC with a group of…read moreElders and staff who are not only capable but are unfailingly true to Scripture. They dig into the meaning of the original languages. They exposit and exegete verse by verse. Since joining as a member at CBC my understanding of Scripture and my salvation have increased exponentially. I'm just so grateful that the Lord brought my wife and I here and that the body at CBC were so warm and welcoming in taking us in. If you are looking for a church that believes in the sufficiency of Scripture, doesn't compromise, doesn't stray from the narrow way, and will take you in with the love of Christ, please come and join us. Find me and say hi!

It has a 125 year history as an interdenominational…read morechurch in the Cupertino "Crossroads" area, and is alive and as friendly as it was when it started. The current Minister, Rev. Mark J. Brady, is one of the most outstanding ministers I have ever known, including those I have seen on TV ministries. His energy seems to be boundless and he has reenergized the membership with many youth and young families now participating. In addition to his remarkable and inspiring Sunday messages, his ministry to those in need and to the community is exemplary. (See web page "www.unionchurch.org" for more information.)

A few updates to the older reviews:…read more There are now 2 services (as the church planted a new church in Willow Glen a few years ago). Services are at 8:30am and 10:30am, with a "coffee hour" in between. If you're late, don't worry, as the first 15 minutes or so is praise singing. However, if you arrive later than 8:25 or 10:25, park on the street - don't even bother trying to get into the church parking lot! :) The church is easy to miss - there is only one auto driveway to the back parking lot, on the side away from the freeway hump. Don't be afraid to mention that you're a visitor! While this church is very warm and friendly, many of the people are quite introverted and sometimes hesitate to reach out . It's not that they're cold or clique-ish but it's not a church where people keep an eye out for visitors and pounce on them. (Big contrast to my old church!) This is a church where you do need to ask...people are always willing to answer and respond to your needs, but for some reason (introvertedness?) people seldom offer information unsolicited. One person mentioned that even though their infant cried in church, it was their 5th Sunday before someone told them there is a "crying room". So do ask, and read the bulletin - never during the sermon, of course! :) There's an information kiosk on the patio that's open between services where you can get any questions answered. We chose this church because it values youth ministry. There is a full-time High School pastor, a full-time Jr. High pastor, and a full-time Childrens Ministries pastor who coordinates an awesome Sunday School program. The one weakness I've seen is a lack of childrens/youth music. While the Jr & Sr. High have praise bands and praise singing, there's no youth or childrens choir, for example. (The church is eager for someone to volunteer to start one, though!) There is an adult choir that performs once a month during the school year. The 35 minute sermon is expository Bible teaching; and while very good, it took me 3 years to stay focused through the entire lesson! There are 3 pastors that preach/teach, and each tends to do about 6 Sundays in a row, then another takes over, usually on a different book of the Bible. One thing that impressed me is a lack of emphasis on politicized issues. You get the feeling that the pastors are very caring, compassionate people.

These have been-- *A small Lutheran church (graying/diminishing congregation, gospel of good works and being a nice person, and very little Biblical context. Unfortunately, dying on the vine.). *PBCC (wonderful teaching and music but sermons were very difficult for a non-native English speaker to understand; also, harder than average to break in to their community circles; finally, a bias more toward study and socializing than action in the Silicon Valley community where there are many targets for compassionate acts.). *A small Bible Church in Sunnyvale (great sermons, great work ethic, but music performers had trouble hitting their notes and music was hugely too loud; we could take it no more). *Venture Church Los Gatos (Famous head pastor and a very top-down org. Little interest in setting up livestreaming and social media, and zero interest in establishing satellite churches for people with long drives. "If David could get to church early, you can too!" Great teaching but sermons began to repeat after a couple of years. Also, the church had unusual trouble retaining associate pastors, some of whom were very good). Finally we found the right one! At WGC, you're in the army now, and it is God's Army, and you are learning, you are loving, and you are serving humanity with labor and tithes. The sermons are funny, great, relevant, and true to God's word. The pastors are real, honest, and genuinely humble people, and the community is the best I have met so far--very loving, warm, and welcoming. Finally, we are home. : - ) Check out Beautiful Day (founded by the same people although you will never hear them take credit for it). Totally awesome, totally worth it!
