The house band at Avondale is very loud and energetic. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you people. The kick bass drum rocked my body with percussion with each boom. I'm not sure if that's healthy or just too much exuberance. Hearing "Joy to the World" in rock-type rhythm was odd to this boomer. My early Jesus People days in the 1970's had Jesus Rock (Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Keith Green, Wilson McKinley, etc.) but it seemed more tame than what I hear at CCV. Is that a bad thing? I don't know. Maybe I'm just getting old and now long for the old-school hymns I used to tire of when I was a restless young man. "On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand. ..." 2. The best part of my 4 visits to CCV (twice to Avondale) has been the sermons. Well-polished speakers with an engaging style. I haven't gotten sleepy once. That's a good thing. But not seeing a real person up there is a downer. I watched yesterday's sermon again on YouTube later in the day. So maybe if I can't stomach the lack of reverence in the music, I can view the message online. Ashley's sermon was superb, as was Mark's (iirc) last week. 3. It is great that Bible passages are read and usually displayed on the screens. The Bible is our foundational literature. It makes me want to read more. No "feel-good" or "God will prosper you if you give..." false teachings at CCV. 4. There seems to be a revival of sorts occurring in American now. Coming to a well-attended church service is one thing, but all the smiling greetings don't plug you into the life of the church. A person needs to have a way to enter in, smaller groups perhaps. I have to explore that on my own, so it would be good to mention each Sat/Sun ways to become a real part of the life of the church. 5. The Avondale CCV had a nice mix of races and cultures in the service I attended, fitting to the Avondale area. One body of Christ. Great.

Then right before the message started we had a staff member come and publicly embarrass us in front of others around us by saying we must leave right now due to our dog. Coming in we were welcomed with our dog explaining that he is an emotional support animal and that he has just had surgery 2 days prior. We are unable to leave him at home due to his 6 staples in his leg. Instead of the team coming up with a solution they just kicked us out. I asked if I could speak to someone about this and they quickly declined and didn't even give us another option. We weren't allowed to listen to the message not even outside we just had to completely leave the premises. Walking out the door there was an 8 person team standing there waiting for us to leave like we were some threat and they just watched us walk out. How embarrassing. To say we are extremely saddened and disappointed is an understatement. Every other church we've gone to with this 7lb puppy has never had a problem. Safe to say we are not welcomed back here unfortunately. Such a bummer. I would seriously not recommend a church less. How awful you have no solutions and you're not allowed to speak to anyone, you just don't care about your guests and kick them out. Because of this expiernce its affected us going back to church in general that we will be kicked out again at another church and caused us to feel as if someone is always watching to judging us like they did here. Super unfortunate And unprofessional.........

At the time, the congregation had a young mens Bible study that was able to help me find the answers to the questions I was asking.

I'm catholic but that had no bearing on where I would go to feel God's in my heart and meet good people. After I saw and learned more about PVC, I decided to Introduced my grand children to church. Service's are set for adults service and different age groups children services. This way all are enjoying and understanding what they are learning/hearing. PVC is very welcoming. Every initial service may not meet your needs that day - but PVC is a place to go for many reasons. Since the pandemic they've worked to get back to a somewhat norm. If you cannot attend in person you can attend online. If you're attending on time or a little early you'll have the opportunity to be greeted by many. After service it's another chance to meet others. Yes, parking can sometimes be crazy but it's a huge lot and they are working in extending it. People attend church and running a little late you can change your parking preference. I'm no expert but I have experience what happens when I'm late . This week fun fun fun PVC summer camp. Well that's all I have for today.

The musicians had passion for their craft but it was TOO LOUD for us over 65ers. The spotlights with steam coming through was excessive. Too much flash. The sermon was very good, and we appreciated God's word being preached in a professional and measured manner. This is a prosperous church, for sure. This is the first church I've ever been to that charges for coffee. PVC has a cafe near the sanctuary. When we asked about Bibles, the info desk said we could buy them at the cafe. Maybe they thought we meant the Bible reading plans. PVC is reaching many young people with their concert style services, but I wonder how deep the peoples' faith develops in such places and how else they are involved in the mission of this church.
