The Wednesday night Ten:ten programs for young adults is super fun, and the Monday night Align programs to get to know peers your age and develop a faith group has been awesome as well! The Shoreline church is incredible in its service of the community. Widows support, blood drives, community service projects, you name it!

I'm disappointed to hear about the childcare situation noted by a fellow reviewer. I had two…read moreyounger girls who went into two different Sunday School classes (meaning I didn't consider it child care, but their version of going to church). The Sunday School teachers are volunteers servicing the church going community--not hired professionals. My girls were told not to leave the room until I picked them up and they were able to follow my directions. If a family has a child with special needs (or a child who is at risk of not staying inside the room until you sign them out) then perhaps a babysitter should come along. Or, contact the church ahead of time to ask for a shadow volunteer to be one-on-one with your child? This church I have found to be very loving and family-like and I could imagine someone would welcome a family with needs and assist them with their child's Sunday learning. Finally, I would be disappointed or concerned about my child running out of the room on their own. I don't think the fault lies wholly on the church however; if a child is unable to follow a serious safety rule, the parent should take some responsibility for their child's actions. I read Autumn Y's review, and instead of trying to articulate my comments I will simplify by saying I agree 100% with everything she wrote. I will only add that the worship tends to be 1/2 long which makes the service a little longer; but if you love to sing and love music and love to give God glory then you won't mind at all!

We want to be a people of welcome and laughter, of faith and hope and love, friends and family, justice and changed lives. We want to be a people where the homeless know they can find food, the broken can find healing, and the rejected feel at home. We want people to see our diversity of backgrounds and color and say, "What in the world to these people have in common? It's where one group is working to care for local drug addicts and another is training teachers in Malawi. It's where you will find normal people learning to pray, coming to faith, struggling with temptation, finding new purpose, and getting in touch with His power to carry that purpose out. It's where people bring their own little seed of faith in Jesus and discover, in getting together with others to honor the one true God, that the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. We know that no church is like this all the time. But there are quite a few churches who are partly like this for quite a lot of the time. We want to see what God will do if we let Him, because we believe that He is the Vine; we are the Branches.

That said there a people from all walks of life who attend with a strong contingent of young families. The message is solid, but not pushy. I really enjoy the main pastor's delivery which often includes storytelling, historical context, and an explanation of the actual scripture language used. That may be my favorite part boiling down ancient teachings to terms that are easy to understand. Should you decide to get more involved, there are many different ongoing service opportunities. They actually will support you if there is a cause you care about and want to start your own service initiative for others to plug into. Last, if you have kids, there a two different rooms to drop them off to do crafts and activities that vary by their age. Branches is a good group people up to great things. Definitely worth checking out if you are on a "church search."

But I haven't ever attended Episcopalian and I guess today was the day. Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, the beautiful service was lightly attended. No matter: nice, friendly congregants, lovely music with a fabulous soprano singer and a lively multi-lingual female officiant who spoke movingly and sensitively from the heart. Normally, this church has an 8 and 10 a.m. Sunday service in English and a 12 noon Spanish service. The parking lot is small but there is street parking and Max Berg Plaza Park across the street with a lot. I am so used to the mega-church I usually attend, but then these smaller places utterly charm me too. The rustic building is designed along the Spanish-style, red tile roof decor commonly found in San Clemente. I admired the real holiday wreaths and draped pine greenery decorating the sanctuary.
