So, let me tell you a little story about a young man (me), and how a webpage changed my life…read more Having grown up in a spiritual household that always believed in a higher power, yet never attend church. I happened upon a time recently, that I was faced with a serious illness in my family I turned for answers and comfort and realized something in my life was missing. I explored the Internet looking for answers that I thought would be at the end of my search string, that would explain why our family crisis was happening. No eval... so then while searching through my Facebook feed advertising came up for Bay Area Community Church. I thought what could it hurt, and opened the page. At some point, while viewing the page I decided to see what the church was all about by attending an outline version of their church service via Facebook. Fast forward to that Sunday, as the music started on the online service I was introduced to Jonathan Madrid and the band that played music that was so refreshing and current. I found myself beginning to relax and enjoy the vibe of the worship. The music stopped when a guy showed up on stage that I could relate to, he had a five o'clock shadow and was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. He began to preach and I could relate to everything he said. At that point, Pat Linnell changed my life. I became emotional and really could not understand what was happening to me, but it was AWESOME. Over the next few weeks, Pat preached about topics that really opened my eyes about the Lord. I quickly ran out and purchased a Bible and began reading several chapters a day with a goal of completing the entire Bible in a year. I am like a sponge, just soaking up everything. After several weeks I was finally introduced (via the online service) to Greg St. Cyr had just returned from taking some time off. He also finds a way to explain the "why" of the Bible and "how" we should live. He to me is like a father figure that you can look up to for advice and a shoulder to cry on. I have not missed an online service since, soon I will make my way over to the main campus for a live service. My advice to anyone that is not sure that BACC is right for you is to give them a shot online and watch a few services and make your decision. Greg, Pat, and Jonathan have given me the best Grace Bomb one can give, they have introduced me to Jesus. Thank you BACC.

I could tell they were not trying to say "Jesus" or "God" or read directly from God's Inerrant Word too much because they weren't trying to scare off anyone who is unchurched and might be converted. Quite frankly, as a born-and-raised Methodist, I was slightly put-off by this 'loosey-goosey' church service. They never read the scripture lesson. It wasn't even listed on the bulletin, although some scripture references were flashed on the jumbo-tron during the 'message' (which was given by Pastor Marshall, a really young, hip fellow who appeared on stage after a long darkness, and just started talking about stress). They never had a responsive reading ***of the Bible***. They didn't play any standard-bearer religious music that lets you know you are in a hallowed place, the Lord's holy temple v(like the _Gloria Patri_ or the _Doxology_). For all I knew, I was at a concert. Especially with the Robin Thicke/Justin Timberlake look-alike fellow onstage belting out quasi inspirational ballads. But they did take up an offering. :-) But that is what I get and must accept during my summer of visiting around services. Church lite. Ha ha. We'll see what I get next Sunday.

I went to City Praise Family Ministries to see a play the Friday before Easter, and I was honestly…read moresurprised by the size of the space. As someone who does not go to church often, and when I did it was usually a smaller church, mega churches always catch me off guard. The building itself is very beautiful, modern, and feels relatively new. The people were very kind and welcoming, which made the experience comfortable from the moment we arrived. The play was engaging and the actors were amazing. During intermission, they sold snacks for about one to two dollars, and if you were a guest of one of the actors or actresses, you were able to get additional bites, which was a nice touch. They also had small gifts as well! Overall, it was a perfect Friday night before Easter. At the end, the bishop and pastor came on stage and transitioned into an altar call. This is the part of the experience that can feel different depending on the person. After the initial call, not everyone responds right away, and the pastor continues to wait and encourage people to come forward, sometimes repeating the call multiple times. As more people began to go down, it extended the moment further. For some visitors, including myself and others around me, it felt a bit prolonged, especially after a three hour play. We were ready to leave but also wanted to stay for the closing prayer, so the length of the altar call made it a little difficult to sit through. I understand that this is an important and meaningful part of the service, particularly around Easter, and the pastor is following their calling. Even so, the overall atmosphere was very passionate and welcoming, and I imagine the sermons there are very impactful.

The service is a bit long. Much time is spent praising the first lady than the kingdom of God.read more
