I was initially enamored. After a 3+ years, the senior pastor and some elders showed me enough of…read morethemselves off the pulpit (stage) to confidently walk away to search for a church and church leadership that walks the talk consistently and not conditionally. I do not recommend this church based on how it negatively affected me.

My first Sunday checking out Bay Hills, I was beyond nervous. I knew almost no one. I hadn't been…read moreto church in decades and I wasn't where I wanted to be with God. I wasn't even completely ready to socialize, but I took a leap of faith and showed up to check this place out. The second I walked up to the doors, I was greeted by two sincere people and with many other smiles. The music had already started and it was positive, encouraging and moving. I felt God in the worship. The message began and it made me laugh, cry (yes in the first day...lol) and think. The dermon was completely based on scripture. He used comprehensive examples, hilarious stories, and I didn't catch myself zoning out or checking the time...which...to be completely honest, I'm prone to in uncomfortable situations. Afterwards, I helped myself to coffee and doughnuts and bumped into a few people i knew! They were excited and surprised to see me there and we caught up. They introduced me to someone else who showed my the childrens ministry (epic!) And the nursery was a DREAM for me as a new mom. Time was flying, and before I knew it, I had to head out. I came back the next week...and haven't stopped going since. The messages at Bay Hills have helped me become the closest to God I've ever been, and the friendships i've made over the past 7 years are such an important aspect of my life. As an active member, I am now happily involved with the church including the children's ministry and small groups. Learning about the churches structure and community over the years has only made me feel more and more blessed to have found such a Jesus-focused, diverse, sincere, honest, and fun place to call home.

I have been attending since November 2013. The pastor is kind, funny, and humble. I like the…read moresermons and how they always give out a lesson papers for the topic of that day and for notes. I like how they have lots of bible studies and fellowship options that can fit our busy schedules. This church teaches biblical truths. They focus on teaching us to Look (for ways to honor God), Love (Everyone God put in our path) , Live (For His purpose and will for us), and Lead (others to holiness in Christ). And I was drawn here the most because of the fact that they have areas for kids to grow in the Lord too. Lots of ministries for all ages. I got saved in October 3rd 2013 in my home. I wasn't attending church or reading the bible. I did not know the Lord or followed anything in the bible. The Lord came to me one night and revealed many things to me about who He is and what he knows about me. It was a very supernatural experience that can only be understood by those who have experienced stuff like that themselves or are open to know the wonders of what's really out there (the spiritual world). I grew up in a catholic back round. So when I got saved I was exploring where exactly God's Spirit was guiding me. I was so excited to find out all about Jesus and how I can make the best of the second chance he had given me. I really didn't want to put myself in a religious category. I just knew what God, my heavenly Father revealed to me. Jesus is the one true God and the Holy Spirit is definitely real and living inside of me. And so the Lord began to help me narrow it down to what I needed to study to learn more about Him. The Lord was teaching me His Word thru His Spirit with no book or anyone influencing me the first weeks of my new beginning. God calls people and renews their mind body and souls. And sometimes people that go to church get called there. Other times people have near death experiences and the Lord speaks to them thru those circumstances. My experience was out of the blue one night at 2am with a dream of the spiritual realm and God telling me that I needed to change. The day I was saved God revealed himself to me and I actually FELT His Spirit in my room and He was speaking truth and wisdom and there was a lot of conviction. My mind was being renewed and I am just a completely different person with no more vices and better relationships. But its hard to put all the details on this review. I found this church because I asked God to lead me to where I can grow and learn. And he reminded me that wherever I go to learn His word to make sure its kid friendly where they can learn and be exposed to God's love thru the people that teach them His word. The women's bible studies has helped me surround myself with women of God that have a lot of experience with God's Word and testimonies that strengthened me and inspired me. I am an active volunteer in the kids ministry because I feel its so important to help our youth towards the right path. It starts when your young and I believe I wouldn't have made so many mistakes if I had a strong support system like the one they offer here. So I like it here and I am still growing spiritually. ****IMPORTANT: It is important that if anyone is looking for a church they find one that is in accord with the bible. There is no such thing as a perfect church. There are many church hoppers that never find what they are looking for. I can see how it can be hard. But prayer is the most important way to find God's direction for you. The devil will always give you reasons and point out imperfections to stir you away from church. I pray fervently for my church. And there are lots of churches that are amazing and teach God's Word just as good as this one. When I don't like something or am not sure about something I pray about it and God does something about it and never lets me down. For people new with the church scene, don't get discouraged. My husband is not social and doesn't like to be around too many people but God has opened his heart to be just a little more open with others and I have seen so much change in Him. Prayer and God's faithfulness is the answer. Church is where you go to worship together as a whole group. To connect with others and be inspired by testimonies like healing, restoration, salvation. God speaks to you thru sermons and convicts you of things you need to change. You get to see God in action and surround yourself with people that really love the Lord. Learning God's Word and putting it into action is what we do after church. And no matter what church we attend if we are just listening and not seeking ways to change our community with God's truth and values there is no impact or effect. Our pastor always says, information without application is just entertainment. My church has helped me find and seek ways to make a difference and go where I am needed. I help in the nursery, girls ministry, senior home ministry, and still on the hunt for more.

I Love this church. I have been attending as a non member over the years. However they treat…read moreeveryone like family. Pastor Jim & the Youth Pastor Corey really know how to preach. This church is very diverse and extremely involved with the community & children that attend the church. They also do a lot of missionary work worldwilde. I was married at this church on 10/13/12 & loved everything about my wedding. The Pastor sister Janet was very helpful with the planning and answered all my calls and emails in a timely manner even though I probably annoyed her lol. If you are looking for a church home PLEASE check out Hilltop.

And this church stands by those words. Whether you are new in the Christian faith, a returning prodigal son, or simply further along in your spiritual journey you have a place in this church. The members are diverse and very welcoming, socially conscious, warm, friendly and supportive. The sermons are socially relevant and thought provoking. Above all, there is a sense of family when I come to church on Sundays. CHRIST THE LORD CHURCH - SHARING THE LOVE OF CHRIST WITH THE WORLD.

After the passing of Prop 8, I was heart-broken and disappointed with the Catholic Church and religion all together. Then, I found Christ the Lord Episcopal Church in my own city of Pinole when I saw the rainbow heart with the church logo. I decided to visit the following Sunday, and I have been attending service regularly now for over 2 years. I am still on a spiritual journey, often asking myself if God and Christ really exist, but I know something is right here... I feel acceptance, love, community, and faith. Christ the Lord church is about social justice and growing spiritually. For me, that is what I believe the presence of God is about. This is a great and welcoming place for the LGBTQ community, people of all races, people questioning their faith, and people in recovery. I am here to stay!
