I just realized I never wrote a review for the church I got married at. First I will say that I am…read morenot registered in their parish. I don't even live in the area. There are a lot of churches that will NOT let you even get married at their church unless you are registered with their parish. And if you want to, some make you go through hoops. In some cases like Olga from St Augustine's, they discourage you and push you away even when you are willing to do what it takes. So yes, I do know from experience obviously. I came to St. Michael's letting them know I was not registered in their parish nor was I even from the area. It was no problem! You have to take the marriage prep classes, but we did not have to take it there. We were allowed to take it in the parish we reside in over in San Jose. Now how convenient is that. So that went smoothly as well. We paid the usual fees, booked the usual dates, and well the rest is history. Now for those curious, this church will NOT let you select your own music. You cannot use any recorded music of any kind for walking down or exiting. This is usually the case with most churches, BUT I have personally been to a catholic wedding in one church that did allow recorded music. But if it is important to you to play a certain track, forget about it. This was in 2013, so maybe something has changed since then, but chances are you still can't. You are given a list of songs you can use. The wedding coordinator for the church will assist you through this process and also during the rehearsal. I forgot the name of our coordinator but she is stern, and she can be intimidating, with an all business approach, but you can tell after sometime with her she means well. The church itself is beautiful. Not super grand, but not plain. I would put it above average in terms of traditonal church stylings. Has lovely high ceilings with arches. There is plenty of parking, and the area is just always clean and quiet. There is an area towards the back of the church that your photographer can go up to for great coverage. Fr. Bob was the priest who married us and I was initially going into our interview with him intimidated but he was super nice. During the ceremony he wasn't boring. I really do wish he was still at this church so we can come and visit. He is no longer at this church. So overall, great church, had a perfect experience on my wedding, and would not hesitate to recommend it. Now I'm torn whether or not we go here to attend mass to bring back some memories, or go to the new church where Fr. Bob is at.

It was cult-like---kept repeating the lyrics as if to hypnotize those there. The sermon was immediately forgettable, and not practical at all. It was incoherent, disorganized and made NO sense. I know it is his style, but he needed continual reassurance that the congregation was with him, "Can anyone say an amen?," continually. He did not draw attention to Christ. It was more about him and his personality. It was my worst experience attending a church in more than 30 years. I would not recommend anyone to visit this church. I was happy when I left. It was a relief.

One of my favorite things about Celebration is that Pastor Larry teaches the whole counsel of God…read more A second thing is that he and the congregation are courageous. This was demonstrated during Covid when every church shut down after being told it would only take a few weeks to stop the spread. When it was clearly not working Celebration decided to open up it's doors after 6 weeks. To the best of my knowledge it was the only church in Alameda County that opened it's doors. Side note - Celebration experienced a fairly low rate of Covid cases and zero deaths. Ultimately after several years of attempting to sue both the Church and the Pastor into oblivion, 'the gates of Hades' didn't prevail. The scriptures teach us to obey the government and it's leaders at all times--but not if that means we would have to disobey God. I believe the command to not 'forsake' the assembling of the Church is what this points to. I thank God for the courage and obedience He gave Pastor Larry during that difficult time. (-:

In the 6 years we've been members here, we've grown so much in our walk with God both individually and as a family as we have so many opportunities to express our faith. They provide options to volunteer from their homeless showers and breakfast ministries and AWANAs to their Live Drive Through Nativity to name a few. Our dear Pastor Bill, whom we prayed for and waited two years to meet, has truly been an answer to prayer. We're so grateful for his calling to Trinity! God's timing is always perfect. Not long after he and his family arrived, our own family went through a sudden, personal crisis, and his unconditionally loving, persistent responses have proven to us God does hear our prayers. He sent the right person at just the right time for this tough job by loving us through it all! We saw a glimpse of Jesus in Bill's kindness and patience. He continues to check in on us, which is so encouraging. The members of this church also joined with him and we are so much stronger in our faith and love for God and Trinity as a result! Our members span the age gamut and that makes it a joy to be here! The spiritual mentorship program is such a blessing, especially for our kids! They recognize the importance of this biblical teaching (Titus 2). I could go on, but I'll end with this...Trinity Church and Pastor Bill STRIVE to love God and love our neighbors as ourselves. We are changing to be relevant to the needs of our community, however, this is being done without compromising on the scriptures in God's Word. With that said, I highly recommend them!!!
