It's Sunday, so why not write a review about a church?…read more My good friend invited me here because the play he wrote was going to be featured here as a part of Black History month. At the last minute he asked me to close the production by singing a song. The play deals with the issues of HIV/AIDS in minority communities and the church's response to people dealing with the disease. Get ready here comes the sermon part of this review.... There is a new HIV infection occurring somewhere in the world every 6 seconds...can you imagine that? African-Americans account for 50% of the new HIV infections Black and Latino women are one of the fastest growing populations of newly diagnosed HIV infections. Young adults between the ages of 13-25 are the second largest age group of new HIV infections. OK, I'll get off my soapbox now, but get tested...OK? So the event took place in the parish hall, and boy did it bring back memories for me. The checkered and speckled linoleum floor, metal folding chairs and tables, large coffee pots and styrofoam cups, and the big kitchen that was staffed with the older church women. Women in the church kitchen always looked happy to me, don't know why that is. Maybe they're happy to be doing something for others. Anyhow, all the church folk were standing around, chatting, sipping coffee and some were standing in line for food. Another person in the play who was sitting next to me was taking in the scene and said "People will come to church for the food and for the love." The people at St. Luke's certainly made us feel welcome, there was a lot of love. The fried chicken lunch and complimentary Red Rooster hot sauce wasn't so bad either.

I began attending this church in October 2023. Everything seemed "ok" no hidden agendas until early…read more2024, leading up to election cycle. Pastor Matt was so bold to take the church on a harmful, meandering road where he intermixed politics and religion, like how a lot of evangelical churches are becoming. It started when he invited Kirk Cameron in April 2024. That was a big mistake, for people who have never stepped foot in a Christian church. Kirk Cameron gave a sermon about Guthrem and the Vikings, which was so difficult to sit through considering it was a dense history lesson about the Vikings and faith, that just got lost in the sauce. Kirk Cameron is a right wing evangelical that has a bias towards promoting extreme right wing propaganda. Fast forward to September 2024, Matt started a series, "Bible and the Ballot," and as educated and open-minded that I consider myself and my husband to be, we just couldn't sit through the series. Matt was quick to demonize anyone who didn't support Trump and used the bible to justify his one-sided political stances (VERY HARMFUL). I was deeply bothered but chose to ignore it, as my children loved going to their kids Sunday school class. The straw that broke the camel's back was in June 6, 2025, the weekend that the ICE raids took place in Paramount which caused a domino effect in creating protests by surrounding communities in fighting against all the inhumane actions by ICE and the CBP. The next day at church, I was hoping for Matt to give space for people in the congregation to feel seen, loved and accepted, but instead he completely missed a perfect opportunity to offer a special prayer for all those effected by the ICE raids. Again, I was disappointed and hurt by how he selects when to speak up for causes that align with his political views. The deepest insult was when Matt equated illegal immigration to getting a DUI. He mentioned that if he broke the law in getting a DUI, he needs to pay the price, the same way that people who immigrate illegally are held to the law. Are you kidding me?!!!!!!! My husband and I decided to leave the church altogether because as a person of color, and a daughter of an immigrant, I feel that attending a church that doesn't align with my core Christian values about loving foreigners, and those who are disenfranchised is unacceptable. I don't care what political party the person next to me in church aligns with, or the Pastor identifies with, but I will ALWAYS draw the line and when cultural, racial and social injustices are overlooked. Matt does nothing to bridge the hurt, pain and division. As a pastor, leading a church should be focused on preaching about how one can grow in their faith, and be encouraged to show love & kindness towards ALL regardless of country of origin. Keep politics and division out of church at all costs!

If you're looking for a healthy church that teaches real biblical principles, this is the place for you! They offer group Bible studies on Tuesdays for both men and women--a great time to learn the Word and enjoy fellowship. The youth program is amazing! My very shy, introverted child has come out of her shell over the past few months and loves it so much that she's even invited her friends. My youngest absolutely loves the Awana program, where she's learning biblical principles that she's beginning to treasure in her heart. I feel so blessed that my whole family comes here, from the youngest to the oldest. My parents love the Spanish service at Luz y Vida. I'm truly grateful and blessed to have found my home away from home in this church!

I visited this church for several months and was able to share our organization's ministry with…read morethem. That ministry is cancer support. While one of the pastors there did say they appreciated my ministry during a zoom bible study there was no reliable show of such support and I actually never learned why. That pastor did have our mental health outreach flyer translated to Spanish but yet never shared the outreach or the flyer with the congregation and or offer to support by attending, assisting with volunteers, etc. I am grateful for the translation. The congregation here is largely Hispanic and most of the pastors are young. I'm however African American and over 60; not sure if that matters but this was my experience. Of course, enough to move on. " They honor me with their lips but their hearts..,,"

The reason i took a break from church is because I was looking for one that felt like 'home'. I attended a Baptist church in Lakewood for a couple of years... but I never felt like I was welcomed....the church had cliques and the people felt 'fake'.... I did not feel love there. You had to be a certain type of person...a certain look. Buuuut as soon as I walked thru the doors of Christ Chapel I was welcomed with a hug and smiles. It's a small church with a huge heart. EVERYONE is welcomed here. You see all sorts of people...young, old, gay, straight, singles, couples, rich, poor, well dressed and casually dressed.... It does not matter who or what you are. The love and word of God is here. There's lots of singing here...don't worry if you can't carry a note/tune because the music/singing is loud so don't be shy... Sing along! The sermons don't feel 'preach - y'...if you know what I mean. It feels more like 'sharing'...communicating. Not sure how to describe it, but I guess it's like friends talking about Jesus /God /the word. My husband was raised in a very catholic family, he's only attended catholic services...but he's joined me a few times here and he's really enjoyed it. Which says a lot about this place. You leave here feeling light, loved, stronger and safe. I encourage anyone that feels the need to get closer /understand the Lord to come visit. Or anyone out there that feels lost, or feels like they need someone /something to stop by...there is NO pressure or judgment here. Can't wait to meet you.
