This is more than a church but a community epicenter. I enjoy attending here. They have annual…read morecommunity events and they do the annual tree lighting here and Founders Day is well worth coming out for. The Minister sings professionally and has a warm spirit and friendly people. I've never been inside a church like this. It reminds one of the old Spanish missions and no one room is alike. It has old Religious art like you used to see inside Churches. They song the old hymns and at the conclusion of every service the women all get up and sing as they are departing, "Till We Meet", they sing beautifully. We had my wife's celebration of life service here and this place really set the tone for everyone in attendence and the Minister sang "Amazing Grace" unlike I've ever heard at the close. The landscape is really beautiful. I recommend coming out on Founders Day on Sept 23 when they have a Church open house and you can see all the rooms in the church. It has a nice Prayer Room I go to after every service and the pot luck after every service is fine. The community really is supportive of this church. Just simple traditional Preaching and services.

Two friends and I were visiting Chico so we drove the extra 30 minutes to see the Abbey. It was later in the afternoon so it was quiet but everything was accessible to the public. Such a serene place. A friend did wine tasting and bought two bottles. We saw the guest dorms, St. Celia's chapel, the abbey, walnut orchards, vineyards, koi pond. The gift shop and visitors center closes at 4:15pm. We missed it by a few minutes. We did have a short conversation with Brother Louis who was very kind. Lots of history here. Peace be with you.

This is a working abbey with organic vineyards, wine tasting facilities, fruit and nut orchards and a Book and gift shop . Definitely well worth a visit on a day trip or stay a few days on retreat .

I visited when I was in Chico visiting.

I did notice on very bottom of sign out front, Nazarene affiliation. I looked just to make sure I was at the right place. Besides that the service was fine. BEAUTIFUL sanctuary.....music was ok (My church does a mix of contemporary and hymns which I prefer) but the music was good quality.....and the preaching was good. The people seemed friendly so I'll return on my next trip to Chico (visiting my brother)

My boyfriend, children, and I have been attending this church for the past month and a half every…read moreSunday and I just would like to say that everybody there is incredibly kind and welcoming. The children's ministry is awesome and my son's absolutely love Sundays! They get so excited to go to church and that warms my heart. I love hearing Pastor Sam preach. You can tell he really loves Jesus and it means even more to me that he reads the Bible verse by verse every Sunday and shares the word of God with us. When they do worship, Pastor Sam has written some songs of his own, and he enjoys singing them during worship service, which I think is pretty cool. Although I absolutely love when he does other songs as well like yesterday, when he did a Phil Wickham song! Phil Wickham is my favorite and I felt like when he chose that song, God was using Pastor Sam to speak to me through that song during worship. Overall, it's a very welcoming church and they have made me feel like family. I was skeptical at first because my oldest son is five years old and is on the spectrum of autism. Not everybody is kind and welcoming to that but we have never had any issues since we started going there! My son tells me how much he loves it and how everyone is so kind which makes my heart so happy. They truly are showing the love of Jesus Christ at this church! I also enjoy that they don't make tithing the main focus like a lot of churches do. The main focus every time we walk in is Jesus Christ, His salvation, His love and His Word!

All I can say is be very careful of wolves in sheep clothing! Pastor Sam gives a pretty good…read moresermon but one clue I should have picked up on is the amount of pastors they have. Even security pastors...it was strange. I donated over $1000 to the church and was never sent a receipt and I confided to the pastors about abuse and they just told me to read my Bible. My children were bullied so bad in the children's ministry and one was told to go to a temple as he said his background is Jewish. To say it nicely, this church scared 2 out of 4 of my children away from wanting to become Christian and I understand why!
