My husband and I live less than 30 minutes from the beach, thus we go regularly. We have one beach that we consider 'our beach'. It's our happy place. We go and relax for hours with a cooler, snacks, and a yacht rock playlist. It's always relaxing and how we recharge our batteries. We snuck off to our beach yesterday. I took an hour long nap on our beach blanket, while Luis watched over me in a comfy chair under an umbrella. I was awakened by the arrival of a very large group of people, dozens of them, a church group. They quickly put up large banners identifying themselves with a motto of "Known By Our Love". They were having fun and soon enough they began a baptism service in the ocean. We decided to take a walk down the beach and very quickly began to notice the disapproving stares and whispering. For a little context, I had a pride flag beach towel wrapped around my waist and we were holding hands. As we walked passed a group of church folks clad in matching shirts that said, "Know, Grow, and Go", Luis overheard one of the adults in the group say something along the lines of - keep moving/ go away. They all began to laugh as two teenage boys grabbed each other's hands and ran right in front of us skipping down the beach in an exaggeratedly feminine manner. The group of adults burst into laughter. As we turned to leave, Luis asked a couple walking by if they were with the church group. They said yes. He told them that we were just mocked by their church folks. Luis asked them if they accepted homosexuals. The woman answered "no" and the man said, "we accept everyone". May I humbly suggest that Life Community Church consider changing their motto?

My 89-year-old mother needs help. I called this church to see if they have a men's group that helps community people with various different jobs. They said yes and sent out three men to help my mother. My mother was very impressed with them and very happy with how they helped her. She will definitely use them again. They even got in a circle and prayed with her, which made her feel very good. Thank you very much for helping my mother. !!! read more

I have to comment on Mr. G's review. I think it's worth noting That he's given one star, snarky reviews to every church he's visited, but seems rather fond of the leather fetish store and Diamond adult store in Atascadero. read more

My wife and I have attended this church for the past nineteen years, and through having a mobile church at an elementary school, changes in pastors, and people coming and going, it has been a wonderful place to serve and experience the presence of Jesus. If you looking for a church in the heart of Templeton, near the popular "Tin City" area, then look no further than life Community Church! read more

I love Life Community Church. It has changed my life. I consider the members they're part of my family and they treat me as if I am part of theirs. I have never felt this way in any church and I have attended many. I feel very welcomed and extremely comfortable. I like the way our minister, Keith Newcome, relate to most everybody in his sermons. No judging and extremely down-to-earth. Their children's ministry is fantastic. Children love to attend because we have one of the largest play structures in the county I believe. Lots of activities for children including free babysitting one night a week which allows parents to have a chance to go out by themselves for a change. I am so thankful that I have found and now a member of a place I call home. read more
