I love this church! Pastor Terry is so engaging and interesting to listen to. It is a large…read morechurch, but not too large. If you get involved with bible studies and small group activities it is so easy to get people and connect. The music is great - the sermons are the perfect length and my kids love the sunday school groups they are in. The church is very active within the community, and especially with the schools. When we were looking for a church to call home we were looking for somewhere that was a bible teaching church that didn't come off as "fake" - after two visits to Creekside, we knew we'd found what we were looking for.

The best church ever. What I like about this church is that everyone feels welcomed and included.

Pastor is very authentic and preaches about application of the Bible and spiritual principles to daily life problems. You can feel the Holy Spirit up in that place.

I was there on a day when many of the members were giving their personal testimonies on stage. Their stories brought me to tears and also joy and hope. I got a sense of genuineness there. Even as I was getting to my vehicle, I overheard a man witnessing to a couple in the parking lot. It's evident that the love and holy spirit overflows out of this church and into the community.

I found Cornerstone Baptist Church by internet search a few years ago. Cornerstone was more formal…read morein style than most California churches that I was used to. This is a church where they favor old hymns and most dress for Sunday morning service. Personally, I am not a suits and piano hymns type of guy. But I did find what I was looking for. I wanted a church that boldly preached the gospel without compromise. One that wasn't afraid to take a stand on Biblical issues. One that was more concerned about pleasing our Lord than pleasing men. In these things Cornerstone, in my opinion, is very strong. Pastor Snow is an excellent Bible teacher and a good example to follow for Christian living. I would highly recommend Cornerstone Baptist Church to anyone!

Finally a church where music does not have worldly sound; that is so hard to find here in CA…read more Preaching is solid; the preacher is not screaming like some Baptist preachers do, but expositionally and correctly teach through books of the Bible that many neglect because of their hardness (for example right now we are going through the book of Hosea in the evening service). In the morning we are studying Philippians. People are very very nice, loving kind and modestly dress so as not to give offense to others. The service starts at 10:00 am and after that we have Sunday School (learning about evangelism). The evening service is at 6:00 and after that we spend time in prayer. On Wed. night we meet in each other houses for Bible study. I like this church because of the Word of God preached here and because it's not worldly and because the people are nice.

In February, the congregation installed a pastor, Rev Kathryn. Kathryn is a warm and friendly leader whose sermons are spiritual but also human and relevant. I feel fortunate to have found FCC Martinez. I highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking community, paths to supporting social justice, spiritual guidance, and/or friends. I have found that the motto of this UCC Church, to embrace anyone no matter who they are or where they are on life's journey, is reflected in the actions of congregants and pastor alike.

These are uneasy times in the world, but through His Word and the preaching of His Word, God is teaching His people to "fear not" and find rest for their souls in Him alone.

Lucky me, they had deserts laid out on a table as they were having a cake sell after church. I did buy several delicious items. The outside of the church is beautiful as is the sanctuary. The songs were the new kind, sang loudly with exuberance. I like that they have hymnal books on the back of the pews as if we might hold a hymnal book and sing an old hymn. No other churches have them in my experience. That's the first thing I liked. Pastor Ortiz gave a heart warming sermon about making good decisions. He has a good sense of humor and a strong desire to follow God. That's second. As my mother and I were new, most everyone looked at us and smiled. Many people stopped to introduce themselves to us. That's the third thing I liked about attending: we weren't invisible. We intend to make this our church and become members and become family.

I have received prayers, love, and support while I have been away, and I have always been welcomed home with a warm embrace. I was married here, and my children were dedicated here, although we lived far away at the time. We have recently moved back to Martinez, because of our church family. This is the church we want our children to grow up in, where they will be surrounded by people who strive to live God's Word. This church pulls around its members in need, in a way I have never experienced elsewhere. If you want to meet some people who are welcoming and will help you at any stage of your walk with God, then please feel free to join us.
