I was looking for a good church group while I was still in grad school back in Minnesota in 2014, and a good friend referred me to this church. After I relocated to the Bay Area in late 2014, I visited a couple other churches, then I eventually decided to stay here.
There are three aspects of this church that I m attracted to the most:
1. Small cell groups: this church is a huge huge congregation (2k+ attendees every Sunday), it s easy to make lots of passerby friends, but to get to know each other and form a close relationship is hard. Thanks to the small cell group, we meet every week, share with each other and pray for each other.
2. Pastors teachings:
We have a super knowledgeable and passionate and caring pastor group, the more outstanding part is that the teachings are all very applicable to our daily lives, not something up in the air.
3. Happiness and liveliness.
You can feel the liveliness and happiness on everyone s face, via talking to anyone here. We re the opposite of the stereotype of Christians.
