My husband & I are from the SFO Bay Area. We visited our daughter's church, Friends Church, at…read more9:30 am service last Sunday---one week short of Friends Church's 5th Anniversary. Our daughter has raved about her wonderful church community for a few months now. From the parking lot, to the entrance, to the aisles, to the grounds, we loved the welcoming smiles and warm greetings by many of the Friends Church community. We love the convenient location (in Old Towne Orange), catchy signage, and eclectic design of the spaces in the Friends Church historic building. We love the cathedral ceilings with exposed brick, plumbing and hardware plus the presence of plants and comfy seating areas. The presence of coffee stations at the end of each aisle is a nice touch too. Many attendees came with coffee mugs or water in their hands. The informational postcards are modern and easy to read. The contemporary music was a tremendous draw for us to join in worship. The music was the right tempo and volume. The worship leaders made one want to sing along and praise. I truly appreciate the break in the worship set, for others to be seated, and resuming the worship with the option of standing. So elderly- and/or differing abilities-friendly. With music style and casual feel, I was also expecting a younger congregation. To my surprise, I was blessed to see a pleasant intergenerational mix of church people. In fact, there was a balance of singles, young families, middle aged and older attendees. This is one of the reasons our daughter loves Friends Church. The use of their multimedia screen was effective and appropriate to the worship service. The prompting for the Kids to attend their Sunday School or Children's church was natural and child-friendly. Although we didn't have any children with us, I like the security system Friends Church has in place for their young attendees. My husband & I picked up so many pointers to bring back to our very own nearly 30 year old church in the SFO Bay Area. While visiting our daughter in Orange County, we don't mind revisiting Friends Church again. Thank you Friends Church. We had a wonderful church experience. Congratulations on your 5th year anniversary as a church community. God is great!

I found Elevation Church about 7 years ago while searching for a positive motivational quote, but instead I found something more spectacular. For some angelic reason, my mouse landed on this church and as I listen to Pastor Steven's preaching, I felt that the sermons were intentionally written just for me. Since that day listening to him preach became a daily devotion. Elevation Church is a wonderful family to belong to and despite the distance, you will feel the warmth, togetherness and love from everybody. I recently added Elevation Church, meeting the Pastors and staff to my bucket list and I hope it will happen very soon. Check it out and maybe something good is in store for you as well.

After running into our former Chicago youth leader at Disneyland, he suggested that we give Eastside a shot. Eastside's values are to Pursue God, Build Community, and Unleash Compassion and you'll struggle to find a more genuine and compassionate group of Christians in any area of the country or world. They have a genuine heart for the broken hearted, the struggling, the addicted, and the unchurched/uncertain and anyone will find themselves at home here, even if you don't believe you are a Christian (in fact their unofficial motto is "this is for everyone"). There's a place for everyone to volunteer or serve here too, whether it's in Production, at the cafe, as a greeter or in the kids ministry, Kidside (which is always a highlight of my daughter's week!) I highly encourage you to give Eastside a shot if you want a church or are interested in learning more about Christianity! Interested in checking Eastside out? Please dm me. I'd be happy to sit with you in service and make introductions!

I think my favorite part is picking my kids up after service and them upset because they would rather stay in class with their teachers and friends.

This shroud is a replica and from what I saw it will be on display here until 2030 with hopes of getting renewed. We all loved it! I highly recommend it!
