Pantano Christian Church is non-denomination. It prides itself on Loving People to Jesus. And that's just what they do. If you're in Tucson, definitely plan a visit. The church is huge, but everyone is family, just like at smaller churches. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. The cafeteria food is delicious....best chefs around. Almost every message feels so personal, like the sermon is just for me...deep meanings and great teachings. Pantano has so many strengths. One of their main strengths is with the kids. Not just toddlers or elementary, but they have fantastic groups and teachings for middle and high school ages. And if you have any availability, join in and volunteer. You can be a greeter, help with food, serve communion, help in kids' classrooms, support the audio, etc. The church is decorated well with a huge open area, basketball nets, rock climbing, etc.

I have been quietly feeling something is off at times recently…read more To start the pastor, Robert F. writes a book and then states he is bothered that amazon allowed a bad anonymous review. He talked about this during service ( this is what was important to biblical teaching?) (and, Hey, God loves a person who is prideful, right?) He. suggested during a service to please go on Amazon and make good reviews to improve it's rating from 4. Something stars that this bad review reflected. Maybe the book doesn't deserve it? He assumes it does? Then his son in law Adam writes a book and it is required to purchase for the current woman's Bible study? If you don't see this as conflict of interest then you are most likely already comfortable being sheep. An everyday congregation is made up of people dealing with real-world financial pressures--inflation, rent, medical bills, and stressful jobs. Robert is out of Touch, Speaking casually about expensive country club dues at Oro Valley Country club from the stage. This shows a profound lack of awareness of what the average person in the pews is experiencing. Instead of building a bridge of shared human experience, it builds a wall. It reminds the audience that the pastor lives in a completely different financial reality, insulated by the very church budget the congregation helps fund Performative security (treating the pastor lik a VIP or politician) .This behavior is entirely contradictory to a shepherd who is supposed to serve, walk among, and care for their community. The rigid, bathroom policy: it has recently been announced, multiple times, before service that if you need to leave seating area for any reason you will not be "allowed to return to your seat? . Prioritizing pastor's comfort or Parishioners over human needs. ( maybe this is what security is for?) Allowing church leaders (Katie) to posts comments as a representative of church saying "whatever helps you sleep at night" on social platforms. This is not appropriate and certainly not biblical. "Matthew 18:15" The environment has shifted away from a community-focused church I say be on your guard .... Listen carefully and trust your own discernment.

Great, moving and meaningful homilies focused on mercy, forgiveness and social justice. However, there is a new, fairly inexperienced parish administrator who is leading the parish. And is easily offended if he questioned or if someone offers a different opinion. He has actually told the congregation during Mass that (paraphased) if you don't like me go somewhere else because I'm here to stay. Moreover, he said that if he wasn't leading our parish, no one else would take his place. (I hardly thing this is true.) He says that, without him, the parish would close! Seriously??? It shows me that he is inexperienced in navigating parish leadership and perhaps this is understandable bc he has only been out of the seminary less than 5 years. It's a huge job for a newbie to parish leadership. Not an easy job. This past Sunday he invited a priest from another state to officiate the mass. Visiting priest Fr. John led a pre Vatican II liturgy-styled mass that was not in keeping with the style of liturgy many of us have valued and sought in our worship practice. Fr. Richard Rivera is trying to take us back to pre-vatican practices. Many of us are not going back to the dark ages. I hope the new Bishop of Tucson can step in and find an experienced pastor to lead our church and keep the passion alive.
