Abundant Living Family Church literally saved me. When I say saved, I mean through prayer, through worship, through studying the word, better understanding what it means to lead and live the life a child of God - I was able to grow and mature spiritually, emotionally, and logically. Although it took years for me to get there, I am beyond grateful for the classes that Abundant offered. I am looking to get baptized later this year as well as doing a child dedication this year for my two year old. What I love about this church is that it's a judgement free zone. Come as you are but also understand that we all need some adjustments in our lives. At the end of the day, the most important thing in this world is our spirit and our salvation. Through Gods love and a building a proper foundation - we can all transform. And I want to thank Abundant Living for encouraging its members to really to read the word, to worship our heavenly Father, and to love one another. I also want to thank the staff and other church elders for constantly praying for me. I am more than grateful for such an awesome church ! It also want to encourage people to get involved and get plugged in with a group or maybe get out of your comfort zone and introduce yourselves to one another. Stay blessed everyone ! read more

Patria - Picture of the courtyard after the Christmas Eve Service 2021! - Churches Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

I still like the church but honestly I am getting really sick and tired of how much time and effort they spend on trying to guilt people into tithing and offering. Selling things and promoting things to make more money. People come for the word of God not to be marketed to. Not to be guilted into buying books, produce or anything else no matter what your intentions. These huge church buildings with their big price tags and all the debts are not what Jesus is about at all! I'm tired of these financial decisions being passed onto the congregation in the disguise of guilt in order to extract money from people. Then always using the scripture of the woman with the 2 mites. That scripture was a warning to leaders of the church not to extract money from the poor. But it's used in churches to do just that. Tithing and offering should be a personal decision as everything else in one's relationship with Christ. Some people cannot tithes or give an offering due to their unique situations and would be breaking the law by doing so. This has never been addressed in the church no matter how many times I have brought it up. There is also guilt trips about showing up in person to the church itself which some folks are also not able to do. These type of practices go against what Christ is about. I am starting to lose the initial zeal I had for this church because of it. The reason this church has such a big online following is because I used to believe in it and promoted it to many people and helped ot grow to what it is today. But now I don't feel that confidence anymore because of these practices. Also charging people for classes that could help them better themselves and making them attend a class to become a realized member etc. All anyone should have to do is believe in Jesus. Enough of these rules and guilt trips. Stop making people believe they will receive more from God by showing up to your building. The bible says our bodies are the temple. We are the church, we need no building. God is not limited by walls, cities, buildings or any other barrier. No one need attend a church in order to receive blessings from God. Please fix this? You have a responsibility to those who attend your church and those who watch online and those who are not familiar with the word who come to hear it. You have a responsibility to teach the truth. Do not start confusing people and guilting people and manipulating them for money, services or anything else. Their duty is to God alone. Your duty is only to teach his word. Our dependency for money or anything else belongs to God not to people. read more

Beautiful church set up in the heart of rancho. Came here for premarital counseling and it was life changing! So many enlightened moments during therapy. It was on a group setting and it was fun. So many emotions and stories shared by others makes you feel That you're not alone. Love the people and this place. Very nice, new and clean. The welcoming people are what make this place though. read more

I've been coming to this church ever since I moved out here to Fontana in 2010. I made this my home church for my children and myself. Pastor Diago is filled with the spirit of God, and shows it every time he speaks. I love coming and worshiping here. It is especially clean and safe place to worship even with this covid situation that were all going thru. read more

I tried so hard to like this place. So so hard. It's extremely impersonal if you're new. I'm sure if you aren't then you clique up eventually. The music wasn't for me at all and I didn't relate to even 1 thing pastor Diego said. I just couldn't wait to leave. I almost fell asleep 2 times. I felt like he was kind of rambling and not really talking about anything relevant. Man... I wanted to like it here, I really did. They get 2 stars for having a cafeteria and for the people singing very well (but I didn't like the songs...). Oh well... I'll have to try Sunrise and Water of Life next. read more

Someone took my review to heart and made a 180° change, the symbolism is completely gone and I hope they found the "root" of the problem and weeded it out. The place is great for church now, I really enjoy when the pastor's son speaks, he's inspiring. They really go all out when catering to the community and especially families, on Halloween they had a 4 story Ferris wheel and carnival rides. They really reach out to the community! read more

As a child I attended ALFC back when it was smaller, and recall the courageous move to the new facility, as part of expansion into the Rancho Cucamonga community. As a kid I always recalled pastor Kenny, and pastor Diego along with Diego's family. Great people, with a great mission, all for good cause. Very nice church, delivers a relevant message always! If I could give you any advice, come as you are and just make your own opinion, nothing's forced on you. Church does frequent free baptism, events, and multiple services per week including local vendors each Wednesday. Tons of parking, tons of space within organization. read more

How do you rate a Church really? Do you base it on what it's done for you? Do you base it on the type of service the church accommodates for you? In my very short experiences with this Church I have found myself criticizing every aspect, every inch, every person in sight. From the flat and lack of sound quality in great need of a sound tech specializing in acoustics control, to the uneducated, sinful, crude, sometimes unconventional approach of pastor pastor Diego who clearly and undoubtedly has a great influence and favor from God himself, who works through him to deliver an incredible message that resonates in the bones of a sinner and selfish, crude and sinful, uneducated man like myself. It is evident that this Church wouldn't be where it is, if it wasn't for the higher power. Wether you're a believer or not? All you have to do is walk in, get past your corroded desire to judge and point the finger. Get past the thought that you're in the wrong place and the wrong environment and make room for something greater, something inexplicable to work within you. Quick Disclaimer. This place isn't suitable for the saints. If you are sinless, innocent, pure and perfect? You will be bored and you will not relate to anything the pastor has to say. If you live a perfect life and don't need God, if you have overcome all your struggles alone and feel like God is just an excuse for the weak minded? You're better off embracing whatever it is that you worship (even if you don't call it God). But if you feel the need for change? If you feel the desire for something far more powerful than your own understanding... I'll quote Pastor Diego "Don't be spooked! It's the Holy Spirit" read more

I've been at this church when they were at their Utica property and have now been coming here consistently for the past 2 years. If you want to genuinely grow in your faith to strict and sound Biblical doctrine then immerse yourself in this church. I promise the same growth this church has experienced since it's genesis will occur in your life if you submit to the God's call for your life and the leadership God bestowed in this church. read more

Have been coming to this church for about 6 years.. I have been to a few different Christian churches and this one is my home! Pastor Diego really sends powerful and moving messages every service! He has a way of tying in what's going on in world today into every service and keeping you entertained with the word of god and paying attention. All the staff I have come across have been very nice and friendly. There are also online services that you can watch if you can't make it in which is very convenient! There are tons of activities that the church is involved with as well read more

I've been coming to this church for the past 6 years and LOVE IT! Pastor Diego is very humble and preaches with God's Love. Many blessings to all and when you visit this church come with an OPEN HEART! read more

Today I was inspired by Pastor Adam's message regarding the vision of 2020. I could definitely relate to the story he unfolded in his sermon when he went to sprouts and engaged with a woman who antagonized his beliefs and his messages. I, too, am embarking upon a vision for 2020 as an RN student at the age of 58. That is a challenge to begin with being an RN student and since I was accepted at Mt. San Antonio College, it has been many hurdles along the way. It almost seemed as if the minute I decided to become an RN is when everything adverse began to appear. However like Pastor Adam I am sticking to my journey into the vision. I just wanted to share how he inspired me to keep my focus and challenge my perspective toward achieving my goals. Things will not stop happening just because I am choosing a tough field as a career. Thanks for the insight, Pastor Adam. read more

I have been going to ALFC for almost 9 years or so ..... I still am on cloud 9 as soon as I walk onto the grounds. All the pastors are anointed and amazing. The Mission Dept is awesome and I am very happy to be a member. You can come as you are and feel comfortable. If you want to wear a dress, go for it. If you'd like to do just jeans and a cute blouse that's fine too ! You come and get the message from God and nobody judges you. Various amount of services through the week to fit all schedules. Different activities for different people. There's something for everyone. And if you have children or small ones you'll love the children's church. They have love for teens too ! Overall a great church and a wonderful place to visit. You'll be able to relate. Trust me ! Pastor Diego rocks !!! Rocks rocks rocks ! ALFC MAKES IT HARD TO FAIL !!! They love you ! We love you ! Come visit !! read more

This church has been a life saver down from the sermons to the health center that they have. Pastor Diego is one of a kind, so sweet and kind. I love all the activities that they engage in for children, because they are our future. My kids have never been excited about going to church until we started coming here and now they bug me if we are going. If that's not a blessing within itself, I don't know what is. read more

What a Blessing to fellowship at this church from time to time. My home church is in Compton, but sometimes it's challenging for me driving that distance. I praise God for the strength and favor shown me through my worship here. The devil is vigorously attacking my family, and I feel helpless that I can't fix it. But, God! I'll never stop praying for my family and being available when/where God calls me to be in my family's healing. read more

This church welcomes all races and is opposed to racial discrimination. I've been a member of this church for more than a year and have met a diverse group of ethnic groups who treat me fairly and love God. I love coming to this church on a regular basis and couldn't be more happy with the pastor, his knowledgeable sons, who preaches the word of God superbly, and the guest speakers. I have grown tremendously and joyfully in the word since my member ship began. Thank you pastor Diego for welcoming me into this wonderful and uplifting church. read more

I went to the information desk at this church to ask them if I can leave a flyer about my dental school. We do FREE SERVICES in exchange to people's time to help fulfill clinical hours. Not a single penny or donation will be ask.The information lady right away refused to accept the flyer because the church does not do any sales advertising. I told her I'm not trying to sell, but trying to provide FREE services to the community in exchange to help student gain clinical experience. Her response, "sorry, church has nothing to gain posting your flyer." I'm sorry you won't be receiving donations from this to expand your 5 acre church. FYI, all other church around the area gladly accepted the flyer knowing they had "nothing to gain" from it. read more

-One of my favorite things about this church is that they are a Multi Culture, Multi Generation and Multi diverse church. I LOVE THAT considering i come from a church where i was surrounded with people of my own race. -This is a HUGE church BUT they have many small groups (interest groups) that one can be a part of. My boyfriend and I are a part of a couple of groups and we love them. He wants to be a part of the motorcycle group -Kids church is awesome! very beautiful my kids love it. They learn about the lord on their own level -Cafe: Great food and awesome prices -their website is very helpful and I've made many calls when i don't understand something or i need to speak to someone and I always get someone to answer my call or return my message right away. -Most important, I felt like i got feed with the word of God.

Patria - Service was so good! - Churches Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Was very impressed with the noon service today! Not only did they have parking enforcement to ensure your vehicle is safe while in service but also greets you. The grounds are very well kept. On top of that, all of the activity that the church take on out side of service. It is really programed to improve and prosper with God and life. The greeting staff smiles as you enter and the ushers guide you to your set. The word today was very powerful and Pastor Diego nailed it!!! Looking forward to many more services and getting to know my brothers and sister of our Lord Jesus Christ! God Bless!!! read more

This review was deleted off of abundant living. So I'm taking to Yelp. But, During a church service. Me and my boyfriend James were going to meet up with his family at the 10 oclock service at abundant living. My African American boyfriend had just gotten a kidney transplant. He was wearing a black mask a camouflage bookbag and black gloves, because he was immune suppressed, and had his medication on him. He had gotten past the churches front doors, the main church doors, and then into the main sanctuary. We had almost reached our seat on the left section of the church. When a singular caucasian male told him to stop, he motioned my boyfriend to come here with his finger before approaching him. Then unapologetically put his arms loosely around his neck. He then forcibly walked him to the side, while service was still going on. We were still visible to the whole church. The man then told him to empty his bag. My 25 year old boyfriend complied then the man started telling my boyfriend why he stopped him. "Because you looked a bit suspicious" he said. After finding nothing but medication in his bag, we then, a bit frazzled went to take our seats in disbelief at how this situation was handled. After service my boyfriend went to talk to a representative about the situation, and the man told him "sir this wasnt a case of racisum". Me and my boyfriends mother tried to explain that it wasnt the fact that we thought racism was a factor. But the fact of how a random man of whom we didnt know, put his hands on him, before explaining what was even going on. And we also asked why there wasnt any security at the front doors of the church, so before entering everyone would have known about the situation, rather then him "looking suspicious" to everyone, and having to empty out his bag in front of everyone as well. Then the representative chuckled and then said "one sec" and walked away. We then saw him telling other representatives about our situation. And in the midst of looking for some type of holy spirit intervention. They began to laugh at our situation and came to us again and said "this isnt a case of racism". Word spread and a random represenative then went over to talk to the main man that we had originally spoke out about. That man then removed himself from the left section of the church and then went to the right side of the church and continued laughing and shaking members of the guests while leaving. Before we were about to leave feeling defeated. A man who was a representative came over to us and told us that it's all going to be alright. And then apologized for all his other representatives and prayed for us for about 2 minutes. In all, it hurt that that situation had to happen like that. All we wanted was for someone to hear our pain, and try to understand it. We were all really calm shockingly enough about the situation. And now I understand why my boyfriend is always cautious, no matter where he goes. The representatives there at that church need more training. Until then. No more going back to this church where we felt unheard in our time of hurt. read more

Love coming here! I love hearing Pastor Diego it's if I hear a refreshers because with day to day living we may lose track of what is important and responsibility like our relationship with God ,family, community,world. The only think I don't really like is the children ministry. Don't get me wrong everyone is nice and welcoming. I just don't like the boys verses girls mentality we need to work as as team for 1 purpose to Honor God read more

My husband, my two children (high school & middle school aged) and I have been attending regularly for over a year now. We have been members since April. We couldn't be more proud, happy and most of all spiritually FED by the awesome experiences we have every time we attend. Pastor Diego along with his family and the rest of the ministry team lead wonderful down to earth yet uplifting messages that pertain to life events now and how we can apply the Word and spread God's love. They do an alter call every service and it's so wonderful to see how many dedicate and re-dedicate their lives to Christ. My children absolutely LOVE attending the youth ministry services. They feel at home and have made many friends. They offer so much for the youth and children and it's so wonderful because they're still at that impressionable age. Kudos to the youth Pastors!! I highly recommend attending to see for yourself. It is a large beautifully landscaped church. Easy to just come in with the rest but don't let that fool you. There are many friendly people here who will help you around the campus, answer any questions you may have or be there to pray for you if you feel you need prayer. Simply awesome! read more

Came here for an event for rhetoric poetry. The constant talk about race and color of skin was quite uncomfortable , since we are at church, we should be one & not make division when it comes to the color of our skin. The outside world already does a lot of that for us. Some things I saw this night did not sit well with my soul. I pray that this just happened on this occasion & isn't a recurring situation & I felt this way being a minority myself. I left quite confused over the whole thing.:( read more

Several times we've gone the ushers have been extremely rude and made us feel very unwelcome.

Love Abundant Preschool. The teachers are great with my little man. They have helped me potty train him and at 2 years old my little man can recognize shapes and colors. He can even count to 10.

What my family and I first loved about this church is that it's a multicultural church. The staff and greeters here have always made us feel welcomed and valued. The praise and worship is AMAZING and always brings the congregation together in praise. They are consistent and there's a culture of excellence here whether your in the main sanctuary, children's classroom or the restroom. We always leave a sermon challenged and with something to take back and apply in our everyday lives as a Christian in today's world. read more

I had the pleasure of attending Bible study 11/9 From the parking lot to inside no one never spoke to me once I reach the door the young lady handed out a program she spoke. I haven't been to a churches where prayer did not start before praise and worship I believe prayer and welcoming the Holy Spirit in the service should be first on the list my opinion. Praise and worship I felt like I was at a concert they song one worship song which was OK.. No anointing. I went to abundant living before back in 2005 the service at that location was anointed the praise and worship was anointed I enjoyed it. So from 2005 and I attended 2016 I see the growth I see the prosperity a beautiful church it just doesn't feel warm to me. I have to go to a church where the holy spirit is free to move maybe it was just an off night I don't know., It seems very commercial. May God continue to bless the ministry. When Pastor Kenny was talking about the election anti-need into the word I received that word however I noticed older white man was offended by the message he grabbed his Bible and he stormed out the door. read more

I leave each service well fed with the word. Pastor Diego is the real deal! He truly cares about the congregants and it shows in his well researched sermons. It's clear that he spends a lot of time preparing the teachings, as do his sons. ALFC invests generously in the community and in their congregants. This church is anointed - of that there is absolutely no doubt. Thanks, ALFC. read more

I loved this church! I've been going there for several years, as well as other family members of mine. I loved the way Pastor Diego preached but last year 2020, ALFC had a March during the up rest. Several picture were posted on Instagram. The pictures showed some people were holding BLM signs. Now I know the church is predominantly Black but this is wrong. BLM is a racist organization, they do not believe in the family dynamic, they fund abortions, they call for people to riot. I made a comment about it the picture and the person told me I didn't know what I was talking about. I've also been told that some of the youth pastors have made racial comments on their social media. I get the concept that Black Lives do matter. But the church should be holding signs that say Jesus loves everyone, black lives, white lives, Hispanic lives. I was taken back by this and the social media comments of Pastor Diego's staff. I went back earlier this year but didn't feel comfortable, my husband won't come back till he hears back from Diego. I would like an explanation because the church should be neutral because of their diversity and the staff should be neutral as well. read more
