Last year I moved to Merced from LA and my search for a Holy Spirit filled church was my top…read morepriority. I first went to a couple of other churches in Merced and they were all great and I thank God we have so many great options in Merced for every believer in Christ. Ultimately Life Place Church was a good size church for me and most importantly I felt Holy Spirit move on my first visit. I knew right away this was a church that can help me fulfill my true purpose in Christ. If you are looking for a bold church that loves and wants to transform Merced then LPC is it!

It has been six months since I started to attend this church, after searching for some time I ended…read moreup walking into this Life Place Church a complete transparent and loving church. Just what Merced needs! To be bold and hear the truth about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the most profound thing we can have in life spreading the gospel and leading people to heaven is key! Here you will find the Holy Spirit moving speaking, learning, walking, and being set free. The pastor truly cares for the people of Merced. They truly care for the youth and children and all who are willing to get helped. I highly recommend you give it a try and attend at least one time !

This Catholic church, Sacred Heart, has no A/C, the benches are too close to each other and their…read moreparking lot is too small for the crowd. None of that matters. What matters is that the community of the regular church goers are friendly, you may even say amiable. The priest has expert knowledge of the (Catholic) Bible, as all Catholic priests should be, and he knows how to engage the audience. My only criticism would be that the priest does but agree to putting a mic for Quinceañeras because he believes he has a loud voice. That is true but the quality of sound from a close up mic is much better as the camera mic also picks up the echo from within the church. I don't visit this church too often so I can't add much more other than sometimes there are special festivities and raffles.

The worship music can bring you to tears! Pastor Al, years ago, is such a nice gentleman. He's welcoming and personable. The children's ministry team makes you feel safe enough to leave your children with them because they are so warm and welcoming. We definitely made some life long friends while attending Gateway years ago. Whenever we're in the area, we always try to visit and we always feel right at home. This was not our first time here and won't be our last.

So grateful to be a part of a genuine faith family that loves God and loves others. If you have been hurt by church experiences in the past, turned off by Christians who haven't been what God called them to be, or long for authentic transparency in walking through life with it's hurts, habits and hang-ups free from judgment and criticism, come worship with us! There is hope for the hurting, healing for the broken, and life giving relationships within the people that call Gateway Community Church home!

Pointless school to attend unless you want your child bullied, and when he is, the faculty/staff…read morewill side with the kids whos parents are donors. Nice, new, shiny campus- but lacks electives a true college prep school would offer. The lack of classes combined with the incompetence of the administration makes this school a waste of money. The principal will reprimand you in front of your child when your child gets in trouble, even if you are trying to correct your child. Tara Humphries is way more qualified to be principal here than the actual principal, as she deals with situations with grace. Anyway, my nephew did nothing wrong, but this racist school which sides with children based on the amount of money their parents have donated made a 4.0 student out to be some bad kid. Save your money, and drive 40 minutes to send your kids to a REAL private high school (modesto christian, central catholic, etc.). Any public school in a 20 mile radius is better than this joke of a school.
