Everyone is welcome here, come as you are, no need to dress up unless you want to. Sunday service starts at 11 AM. If you want to pray, you can come early or stay after and pray with the prayer team. Light snacks are provided after the service. Pastor Steve is a passionate preacher and has a good pulse on the needs of the congregation. I have been blessed and transformed since coming here. If you are looking for a home church or need a place to pray, come check it out we would love to have you here. Located in Irvine, but people come from all over Orange County and beyond.

I've been looking for The Village Church my whole life. Growing up in the church, and moving a lot,…read moreI've been in 10 churches (most due to moving). After settling back into Orange County, we were invited to The Village Church by a friend. We instantly fell in love with the friendliness of the people, the proper handling of the Word of God, and the high bar for sacrificial leadership that the church calls faithful men into. Our walk with God is richer, our marriage is better, and we have a real friend group for the first time in our life. We only wish we had found The Village Church sooner. The Village Church is great for young families with kids, and people from all walks and backgrounds. Come visit at one of the two services: 9:00am or 10:45am.

Long story short - this church will probably get under a new believer's skin (my issues with The…read moreVillage): Before going into the details of why I didn't particularly care for my experience with The Village Church of Irvine, I have to make the caveat that we Christians are a largely imperfect group of people who often poorly represent the faith to outsiders - someone famous whose name I can't remember once said "The church is a hospital for sinners not a museum for saints." I'm not writing this review with the presumption that I am morally perfect or would do a better job running a church, this is just my honest and transparent account of my experience at this church when I was relatively new to the faith. In the interest of being transparent (which will hopefully help guide other new believers in selecting a church), The Village Church of Irvine was not a great or welcoming place for someone who is still grappling with their faith or learning what Christianity is really about - the pastors seemed to shout at or talk down to the congregation from the pulpit and used a harsh tone of voice, and one of them went out of their way to talk about their political stances and express opinions about the LGBTQIA+ community that seemed unnecessary. As someone who was always liberal and supported the queer community, I found some of those comments offensive, unhelpful, and polarizing. Ideally, a pastor's job should be to uplift the congregation during these trying times and provide hope and inspirational messages - this was not the vibe at the Village based on the sermons I attended. Secondly, at the time I was attending this church, there was only one service time, and I believe that was at 9:30 AM - I believe this church didn't really understand how to appeal to people who are on the fence about Christianity and I'm glad that a new service time seems to have been added since then (so new believers can sleep in a little before driving to this church to get talked down to about how being transgender is wrong). Third, and this was one of my biggest problems with this church - the lack of nonjudgmental, compassionate and insightful leadership within the community group I attended. There were a few times I was transparent with the leaders of my community group that I experienced past trauma or had certain antisocial tendencies, and they were genuinely at a loss for how to respond. It was almost baffling to them that anyone in a Christian community would be struggling with what I opened up about, and I felt discouraged from being transparent with them. Even worse, one of the leaders of the community group encouraged me to open up to one of the more senior members of that group, and that woman ended up telling me that my life was a "mess" and that getting married may never be part of God's plan for me. This woman also failed to apologize even though it was made clear to her that I was offended by these rude comments. The leadership and some of the members of the community group seemed to lack enough experience or training about how to deal with certain challenging topics, and I don't get the sense that people who experienced trauma would find them welcoming or spiritually encouraging. I ended up joining Mariners, which offers a program that integrates new believers into the faith called Rooted. Listening without judgment and trying to show compassion for or curiosity about another person's experience, whether you are Christian or not, isn't really that hard, but it seemed very difficult for some members of The Village. If you are on the fence about whether Jesus is the real deal, I really don't recommend coming to this church because I strongly believe this community (and the way the church is managed) would turn most new believers off of Christianity. I highly recommend finding a church with a program that introduces new believers to the tenets of the faith in a supportive, non threatening manner, and makes the faith more accessible. If you're a new Christian (or someone who is curious about Christianity), please don't allow this church and some of their leaders to define what the faith means to you. Some communities just aren't particularly welcoming or proper representations of Christ.

My fiancée and I walked into the church and felt the Holy Spirit present and immediately looked at each other and said we found our local church! It's been 3 months and what an amazing journey it has been. Very intimate, personal, with a touch of fun & laughter. The teachings are very Biblically sound yet made relatable to our daily needs. It's a small and growing church! For us, we have been led to not just attend and receive, but also to take part in the church. I personally love that I don't feel like just another number in attendance. Wherever you are on your journey with God, brand new to seasoned saints, I encourage you to come by Voice Church and feel what God is doing in this place! "All you have is all you need."

Both my son…read moreand I used to attend, and it was through Pastor Garid's faithful teaching that the seeds were first planted. Those teachings helped me find the Lord and grow. Fast forward to 2026, and though we no longer attend, the lasting impact is undeniable. My son now has a deep love for reading God's Word, loves going to praise and worship concerts, and is actively sharing the Gospel with people at his job! We are seeing a true harvest grow from the foundation built here, and I am so grateful. If you are looking for a church where you can truly grow in the Lord and encounter faithful biblical teaching, I encourage you to go and check out Vision Calvary Chapel!

Although I've been saved for almost 20 years, I did not truly start growing in my spiritual walk and deepening my personal relationship until I discovered Vision through a homeschool friend's invitation. I also did not realize what true fellowship, faith accountability and co-laboring for the kingdom models were until I stepped out to serve about 6 months after attending. Pastor Garid and his wife, Ruth, are very prayerful and intentional with everything they teach and offer here at Vision. Besides teaching the Calvary way as he learned under his own pastor, Chuck Smith, which is verse by verse, chapter by chapter, book by book of the Bible (the whole counsel of God), they are so relatable and know their flock. It always amazes me how many names he remembers and so quickly for a sizable congregation! He sprinkles in personal anecdotes that are funny, yet tie in with the messages. He also guest speaks across the country so other congregations can be blessed by the power of the Holy Spirit working through him. My husband also serves in teardown (the downside of being a "church in a box" every Sunday), and my two sons have gone through 3 kids' ministry levels so far! They have a family room that streams the service in, a nursery so you can take a break and have a trusted volunteer take care of your baby, 4 year old up to high school level groupings where the Word is taught in an age-appropriate way! I've also been able to co-labor with the most gifted, highest caliber of volunteers ever! I've been on the events team in decor, women's ministry, Bible study participant, kids ministry as craft and Bible teacher, VBS team, and then, as with most others, jumping in wherever needed. They also have a second campus for ministry events during the week while they begin to transition away from Orchard Hills on Sundays. But that won't completely transition until probably Easter 2024. Please visit and fill up your spiritual well! The hospitality and greeting team will make you feel instantly welcome!

Pastor Roger and Becky Tirabassi are amazing co-pastors with a wealth of wisdom and hearts on fire for the Lord! Pastor Dr. Ryan Montague has amazing sermons with practical takeaways for you each time he preaches! Viewpoint Church isn't just a place to attend; it's a place where people truly do life together. I came in as a nonbeliever, just exploring, but when I decided to give my life to Jesus, I'm so thankful for the community that supported me on my journey. If you're looking for a welcoming, Bible-focused church, I highly recommend checking out Viewpoint Church!
