This is a great place. The preaching is true to God's Word add the gospel is clear. Just like the good news of Jesus, the Anchor seems to be getting better every time I'm there. We live about 45 minutes away add have a church we love, but whenever we are in South County, we visit. ...and we're glad we did! read more

This church is super cute! Did you know you can bring your own coffee mug and hang it up on the wall, so you can drink coffee with? Also their cream comes in those Super old school milk bottles, glass bottles you see on ranches or in the 1950's. They also have these awesome lights in the auditorium! Their pastor is so cool he has pompadore-ish hair, wears plaid, and converses. The feel of this church is so intimate, and everyone is very casual. Makes me want to put on cowboy boots, a plaid dress, and cowboy a hat. No overdressed, and white hats here! Love it, and it's not a mega church which gives me anxiety. read more

The Anchor - This is super cute. - Churches Near Me - Gilroy, California

They are a small church. They have several pastors who preach. The population is fairly young. Parking can be challenging at times. I wish they would have a singles group instead of guys only or ladies. How do you find a Christian spouse when groups are not coed. read more

I've been a part of this church family for at least a decade! This place is amazing! The people are authentic and they genuinely love Jesus and want His will for their lives. The atmosphere is cool, laid back and welcoming. We go through the bible chapter by chapter verse by verse so that nothing is misconstrued. The worship is the kind you get lost in- the kind that helps you truly focus and connect with God without distraction. The children's ministry is awesome and the kids have fun and learn a lot. The people here actually want to connect with you and care about you. read more

Lovely gathering of fellow believers. When you first walk in you will notice this is not your parents' type of church. Decor and setting are trendy and fun. Music is contemporary with songs I did not always know the words to but occasionally have an updated version of an old hymn to blow my mind. Music still brings my soul in fellowship with God and is led by a sweet team of servants. My kids belong to the college age group which is pretty large in relation to church size. We attend the Married Couple bible study and have met really cool peeps. This church just recently went to two services and added a gorgeous area in the back for hanging out. The pastor is a precious fellow who does an outstanding job of relating God's truths to something that is applicable and relevant to almost everyone without diluting, misleading, or confusing. He is definitely filled, led, and anointed with the Holy Spirit. I am grateful to have been led to this place. read more

Justin thank you for the reply it truly means alot having you as the head pastor reply to my comment. As a child of God I did forgive and forget and have moved forward, as you had mentioned we are not perfect. although my work schedule has changed were I work graveyard full time now, it is difficult to attend church in the morning time, but I do catch you on audio every week when it has uploaded, God bless read more

I absolutely love my church! Only one service! Small church which makes things personal. Great people who really show reverence for God.

Great mix of people. Family like atmosphere. Children's ministry. 10AM Service Sundays.

My little family is newer to the Gilroy area. After much praying and soul searching for a new church to call home, Anchor as it's now called, seems to feel right. We come from a well established church in Saratoga and it's been hard to leave but harder to commit to the commute. Anchor has that small intimate feeling filled with TONS of welcoming people. I have two little ones and they provide children ministry and a nursery. Their nursery needs a little work, but this may be God calling me to help :), but the volunteers that ran it were really great! I also loved that they had a mothers room where I could go with my little ones to nurse and still be able to hear the pastor (although it was hard to see because of what seemed to be television issues). They only have one service which makes It hard for my husband to join us in worship since he works. An earlier option would be such a blessing. They have an adorable wall where you can bring your own coffee mug If you select to call Anchor home. I've been searching for a place to learn, grow and worship in prayer and this so far seems to be it. I loved that they read the bible book by book and will gift you with one if you have yet to own one. Changes are happening from what I hear and they all seem to be very promising. Perfect church for someone wanting to serve God and still have that sense of community. read more

Nestled away behind a dusty garlic road - one of a kind. A gem of a church. A wonderful gift in a small package. There are real broken people. Each unique, beautiful and probably a misfit in some way. Each message series, the backdrop magically changes, transporting you to another world thanks to the faithful few. Justin Richter and his wife Sarah are at the helm of the ship. He wears his beard proudly and he dresses plain. Yet there is nothing plain about him. In a world based on convenience and pleasure, he will boldly point you to the Way the Truth and the Life that is Jesus the Christ. The only pure sacrifice that descended from His throne for a lost people. So if you are ready for a different church. If you are done taking yourself so seriously. If you are tired of doing life alone. Don't wait for Christmas. Come as you are. Bring your family. Come alone. Come to celebrate. Come to cry. Or just enjoy His presence in the comfort of your own chair. There is a Message for you. It will change your life. See you at the Anchor. read more

Best church I've ever been too. Authentic worship and community- people really care about God and people. Very accepting and loving place.
