During the Covid19 craziness of 2020, with churches closed by the government, I found myself…read moreopening my Bible everyday and reading as much as I could. And I was learning things that none of my previous churches (Catholic) had ever taught me in over 40 years of attending Catholic Mass. In reading God's Word in the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, I found I wasn't able to reconcile so much of the Catholic Doctrines/Traditions to Scripture. In fact, I found that many of the negative things Jesus and the Apostles said about the Pharisees at the time applied directly to the Catholic Church traditions today. This inspired me to attend non-Catholic services online and a few in person. The Christian services were more Bible centered, but some came with other add-ons, like taking Enneagram personality tests for discipleship programs, or worshipping through song nearly 40 minutes and than reading the Bible for only 20. These things felt distracting from God's message in the Bible. Finally I found Rock Church of Turlock. I watched several Live services online and then my family and I attended in person. We haven't stopped going ever since. Pastors Kevin and Justin truly lead us to focus on God's Word, His will, and His Gospel through Jesus Christ. There are no gimmicks. We worship through song for about 15 minutes, then we open our Bibles and read together, listen to the Pastor talk about the passage, and then pray together to carry God's message forward in our daily lives. Yes, Rock Church is still meeting outdoors, but it actually feels like we are hearing God's Word and worshipping Him out in His nature! One day, God willing, we will have a physical "home" and roof over our heads as we worship and pray, and I think we'll all kind of miss being outdoors. But until then, I thank God everyday for leading me to this church community that continues to point our attention toward God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and God's good news in his Son, Jesus Christ. Being with this community strengthens my call to repent and turn my life, heart, soul, and everything to Jesus. And I want to tell the world about how we are saved by what Jesus Christ alone did for us. Thank you Rock Church of Turlock for encouraging us to stay focused on Christ Jesus!

Prior to going to The Rock, I had limited church experience. I didn't really know what to expect. I…read morewas first invited to an in home group gathering in which my wife and I decided to attend, what a great group of people! they were very supportive of each other through their ups and downs in life and made us feel as though they had known us forever. After attending this group function they called "GPS" for several weeks, we found ourselves wanting to check out their church. We found that The Rock Church of Turlock is a "homeless" church that meets at Walnut Elementary School in their cafeteria. at first I didn't know what to think, this is different? We were made to feel "at home" from the moment we walked through the doors! What I learned is that a church is not a building, a church is the body of believers in which I am a part of. Pastor Kevin preaches the bible as a literal God inspired book that tells of our history, our present and our future. We have found that the smaller more intimate atmosphere is a perfect fit for our family. over the course of the last 8 years attending we have grown not only in a way of family and friends but most importantly closer to God I am very thankful for the people of The Rock! They have a great youth group lead by Pastor Justin Lopes and his wife Ashley. I highly recommend checking out The Rock Church of Turlock.

I loved learning about the DNA of the church. What first drew my family to HCC, is the top quality in leadership. After attending Church Life, everything else made sense. From the Conferences I've attended, a Sunday Morning, or a Church Picnic, everything flows with such excellence. HCC has so much to offer and not only to the adults, they have fantastic Nursery care, Children's ministry, Youth and even something for the Young Adults. The Church offer's many Life Groups, where you can connect and make new friends. I personally cannot wait to attend Financial Peace University, Dream Interpretation, Wife Life group -and those are only to name a few. I haven't even mentioned the School of Ministry that is offered. HCC has so much to offer and equip you, and not just for ministry but in life. I'll never forget the Sermon Series where Pastor Ron was introducing Kingdom Builders. I learned that through Kingdom Builders, HCC is financially sowing seeds, not only to missions or orphanages around the world, but to its own community here in Turlock!! HCC is plugged into the local elementary schools. I'm not even a mom but I am ecstatic to know that my kids will not only be filled at church but at school too!! I absolutely love my church and I couldn't be more confident that I truly found the best church and church family that I love to daily grow with.

There's two main reasons why this church gets my vote …read more Firstly they are incredibly friendly in all the right ways . They are GLBTQ friendly . One of their elders is openly gay and also works as the church book-keeper. After the Orlando massacre,the church newsletter did a small article on each victim every week . They carry a good mix of political persuasions so you don't feel excluded if you are pro democratic or pro anything else (no points for guessing what I'm pro ), yet one never feels judged for one's beliefs ... only welcomed . The pastor preaches a message of inclusion rather than one of judgement . That's already a win in my book . Secondly they do a Wednesday night dinner for anyone who wants it . For 5 bucks they stuff you with salad , an entree , sides and a dessert . The menu is varied but on most occasions the pastor makes a mean , mean tri-tip , and never over cooks it (whew ... ). The youth (or activities?) pastor does down-home, Americana desserts to perfection, and everybody makes sure you are well fed . So, if like me, it's a Wednesday and the last thing you want to do is cook , and you only want to spend 10 bucks total , this is the place to be! No preaching , no exhortation to join the church; just join them at the table and break some bread with them . How bad can that be? Oh and btw dinners at 5.30 pm .

However the arrogance of the priest the last time I attended regarding it being the 'only' true church was pretty off putting, there are a lot of churches saving souls. Also, the pews were at least half empty. There are reasons why some churches are not full, we have somehow failed our children and are at least partly responsible for societal change regarding God. What I will add is that there is not a friendliness at Sacred Heart, you do not feel warm and welcomed, by the priest or the people. This was the church I grew up in the times I lived in Turlock as a child, I want to want to be there. Maybe it was being with my Grandma that made it special, maybe the priests are just tired. I attended 'Journey in Christianity' retreat which I believe is put on by Catholic laypeople. That retreat could teach the church a lot regarding humans.
