I am so glad I decided to venture out and visit a church while out of town! Twin Lakes is amazing…read more I loved that not only did they have a lot of parking but there were clearly marked signs of where to go. I was welcomed when I walked in and people looked excited to be there. It's a large church so there were a lot of seating options but it did fill up right as the service I went to started at 9. Worship was so good! Everyone was passionate. It was just the right amount to prepare your heart and then they dove into the Word. They are a Bible teaching church which I love. They stuck to the Word then taught how it applied in today's world. It was convicting with love. After service I looked around and they offer tons of resources and groups for people. I loved their bookstore area. The gal that checked me out even gave me a first time gift. Way to make me feel special and included. I visit this area somewhat regularly and look forward to returning!

They have programs that always give back to the community. This would be 5 stars if the parishioners could remember this is the house of God and having regular voice conversations is not nice. The whole church is like a school yard before the mass on Sundays. I like going to church for the silence and peace, sometimes the only place you can find it nowadays. Unless talking regular voice about how you do your house painting right next to someone praying the rosary during lent is encouraged here. Didn't even get the hint when I said "!!Lord Jesus!!" quite loud. But saying "please shut the fuck up" would def not be mistaken for a prayer but that wouldn't be nice back...... Oh I am such a sinner.

This is a small community parish. The people that attend here are so very friendly and welcoming…read more They really care about their friends and neighbors and are always willing to lend a hand to help. During lent which is a time of prayer the church does take a somber tone of respect and people are encouraged to speak quieter so I am really confused with serbelles review. I would never dream of going to a regular mass to pray the rosary as there is a time and place for that and the church is open for silent pray after masses. The parish has many activities including pancake breakfasts and daily donuts and coffee to encourage families to visit before leaving. Fr John does a great job bringing the word of God to life. Family, friends, community is what you will find at San Agustin. We are real people who make real sounds of life and happiness. And isn't the real message to go forth and live the word of Christ?

The members are exceedingly nice and embody many of the values that represent a Christian mindset. I have been hugged, prayed for, welcomed and guided during my first few months here. The band rocks and the environment is very low pressure. I also like the variety of speakers they get. Most of which are very good. The mediocre parts come in the fact that about 1/3 or 1/2 of the time the speakers are not very good. I like that they break their messages into multi-week programs that focus on a particular aspect, but that means they maybe shoehorn a guest or have a sermon put together that seems quite disjointed to fit the timeframe for the program. As some have noted, the Sunday message is not terribly scripture based nor is it thought provoking a lot of the time. I attend weekly for the sense of community, but have come to the realization that I will not learn much or be walked through a particular theme or idea from the bible. I do not feel closer to God or like I know his word any better than I did three months ago, but I feel less alone as I try to explore it myself. Lastly, I find the main pastor to be kind of a goober and what I would classify as a weak link to the Sunday service. He is entertaining, but not thought provoking in any way. I find he pops up for a second, says some random thing and goes to doodle on his paper the rest of the service and disappears immediately afterwards. I am sure he contributes a lot to the administration of the church, but as a shepherd to the proverbial flock of the congregation he is pretty weak.

The pastor has been with the church since August 2004 after the other pastor, who was part time for 2 churches, was called to be full time in San Jose. I enjoy this church because it preaches the truth and has a well bonded church family. It is always clean and has different classes for different ages. The kids club did an awesome Christmas play recently and they always seem to have a good time. They have a nursery with a TV that is connected to a camera so they can see what's going on during service. They have 3 projection screens, 2 for the audience and one for the choir. The pastor has a good mixture of when to be hilarious and when to be serious. The music is lively and the musicians and choir are very anointed. Overall, i think this is a great church.
