I came upon this church by accident while following the gps to another church or so I thought. I…read morewas going through a divorce and had left the church I was attending with my ex because he was attending it with his new partner and I no longer wanted to go to the same church. I felt comfortable immediately at Action with the people and the community and the messages were spot on to what I needed to hear and being invited and feeling the intense friendliness and warmth of those serving. The pastor is great but sometimes is arrogant and says things that I don't agree with. I don't feel 100% with his messages but overall they are just as great in how our modern lifestyles coincide with faith so he does draw a bridge between where people are and finding faith and I do love that he meets everyone where they are without pressure.

Not because we "needed" anything from any church but through the experience of the trauma we switched churches and are now proud to call Action home. My kids and I look forward to every Sunday and serving Him is one of the few things that gets me truly excited!!! Action is doing big things and I'm so proud to be a part of it! Real people, bible preaching and let me tell you -- every time you walk into Action you feel like you're at Chick-Fil-A - everyone is happy, excited, kind and welcomes you!!! #home #reachandconnect

Everyone I…read morecame in contact with made me feel like I had been there before and welcomed me with open arms. Praise and Worship really drew me in.

I've been church shopping since I moved to a new area two years ago. I stopped by this church a…read morelong time ago, and recently came back after a long search. It's a small church, but there is plenty of parking and plenty of seats. The seats are extra large, for the typical American. So come on in and get blessed! The sermon was held by the secondary pastor. He was very well spoken and did not distract us by playing in his pockets or saying Uh and Um like many nearby church pastors. There were several references to scripture, which I love. Kids these days (even adults!) don't know the Bible. We really need to get in the Word and get familiar. Attendees were friendly. Communion was germ free!!!! You go get your small cup and your tiny piece of bread and you don't have to touch anyone or sip from the same cup. Thank You, Jesus! The service was germ free, apart from the associate pastor shaking my hand at the door. I hate when they ask you to turn to your neighbor and shake their hand. This church does not do that. I am thrilled! Worship was a few songs up front and one at the end. The words are large on the screen so you can see them if you don't know the tune. Offerings are collected by basket, by text or online. Pretty easy. There is some sort of coffee thing at the back, I've never stopped to check it out. They have childcare. Bathrooms are clean. There are frequent small groups and ways to get involved that can be found on the flyer or on the bulletin board. If you're looking for a neighborhood church that is friendly and bible based, this is your spot. Join us.

Sooooooo, it's been almost a year since we moved to Sanford from the Boston area…read more We were highly involved in ministry and regularly attended our church located in Brookline, MA, Mars Hill Fellowship Church. That was an awesome place. Finding a new church home here in FL was in the top three priorities on our list. My husband did some research and found City Church Sanford. The name was familiar due to family friends serving in ministry at City Church in Seattle. 'Welcome Home' was what we heard during the greeting in service. When we left, it certainly felt like we'd found our new church home, but not to be hasty, we visited another church a few weeks later. It was nice but not a great fit for us. We returned to City Church Sanford and had the same experience as our initial visit. Needless to say, the words we heard about a year ago, 'Welcome Home', are the words we find ourselves saying to the new folks coming through those doors.

We sat 20 feet from the stage and were an arms throw from the front. (Plus, I do not think they believe or allow women ministers/preachers there on a Sunday morning either).

I was impressed by this church. I have been invited to come visit Journey Church many times and…read moretoday, after many years of not visiting any church, I finally visited it. To begin with, Journey Church is a pretty big church with lots of visitors. They have plenty of parking and there are volunteers directing traffic. There is a tent for new visitors with lots of information. I got there while worshipping was happening and I felt the spirit through their songs. I loved how at home I felt by this. Immediately after it Pastor JJ Vasquez started preaching and, wow! He is funny, informative about the word, and keeps you fully engaged.

He speaks the word of God so well. He makes every single sermon relatable and understandable for anyone. The slogan of this church is to make Jesus accessible to anyone and that is exactly what they do each and every Sunday. The church is growing so much, they've been around for nine years And started in a living room and now they have thousands of people attending several different services at different locations and even online. I love participating in small groups that really helps to create community among such a large church. And they always have wonderful events for couples and women and teens and more. Recently, my close friend and her daughter started attending and her daughter even got baptized, which is something they do at the church. I believe three times a year.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER... PLEASE READ: This review is only for the auditorium and not for the church…read moreor religious service. This review is not meant to endorse or critique a place of worship or services. I visited the auditorium for a concert on Friday. The lobby was small, but still nice with decorations. I didn't see any concession stands, so we ate somewhere else before the event. When we got to our seats, we noticed that our tickets weren't checked, even at the entrance. We sat in our assigned seats anyways, which was at the balcony. The seat was a typical arena style seat, but it was comfortable enough. The AC inside was cold and perfect. Looks like the venue is able to hold about 2000 guests. We had no issues viewing the orchestra and the monitors there. The bathrooms in the balcony area was small and only accommodated a couple people at a time, so there was a little wait. Though, it was pretty clean. Other than the security screening, we didn't see much staff at the venue. Wasn't sure whether the screening was common at the venue, or requested by the concert people, but the security staff were mostly polite and professional. They did however, leave immediately after the show. There was staff to help with parking and heading to the venue, but that was it. Parking was free and ample, so it was a plus compared to other venues. For a concert, I would visit the venue again. However, I would be aware of the lack of concessions inside, security screening requirements to enter, and not much staff indoors. But the free parking, comfortable seating, and great AC makes this a nice choice.
