If you are looking for a church that has all the bells and whistles (and fog) and offers family fun activities done on more of a "high end" scale and has an amazing group of musicians then this could be your church!
Now if you're looking for a community chock full of amazing people that are welcoming and kind and actually speak to you on passing- keep looking....maybe run even. This isnt that type of place.
My hubby and kids and I have been attending this church for something like 4 years and are reconsidering if we chose the right church. We know a total of 4 people and thats not for lack of trying. The folks here are "hoity toity", snobbish even. No one here is in a hurry to introduce themselves or say a simple good morning.
I have also had some awkward almost insulting experiences with the actual pastor and the previous pastor there. My daughter was asked directly in front of me if she was the daughter of (name) just because our skin tones are different. I quickly said "no! She is my daughter actually" and the pastor never flinched or offered up an apology...just brushed it off and stepped away meanwhile that really upset me. Ive also said hello to the current pastor multiple times and barely a hello back (unless there people around to put on a show for maybe). Im no rocket scientist, bit in my mind if the pastor's arent practicing what they preach about every week then what is the church really based on?

The message delivery and minister's are phenomenal to say the least they seem to have a genuine compassion for others plus a sincere heart in the delivery of the message. Support staff is very professional and courteous. Only drawbacks are the Congregation is not warm and welcoming and appear to be judgemental to the point I want distance from them. Plus the praise music is too long and loud. Otherwise the messages are fantastic and uplifting and educational. You will learn about your faith here. That I Have full confidence in.

This is an amazing, spirit filled, bible based church! I had the opportunity to visit this past weekend. I m from out of town visiting a friend who just recently started attending. After the service I turned to my friend and said... you have a GEM of a church here. Rooted and grounded in the Word of God and also not quenching the Holy Spirit. Excited for my friend to get plugged in and hope to be back again for a visit!

God is everywhere your heart is but when I'm at Living Streams it's very powerful for me, Gods in my heart the holy spirit is pouring into my soul and and the love of Jesus just seems to flood the place. It's become my Happy place and recharge station. Can't say enough about its congregation. So Blessed!!

I love Living Streams and all the staff. I've been going here for over 5 years now. I went through some life shattering things and wouldn't have made it without the love and support shown to me by the pastors and members. The pastors are very transparent and have a true heart for spreading the word of God and His love unto salvation for everyone. Thank you Living Streams and all the staff I love you!

Living Streams is a wonderful church with a great and welcoming atmosphere! The worship is beautiful and engaging and the sermons are powerful, applicable, and fun to listen to. Both the local and global outreach that Living Streams does are amazing efforts to love people well. I would highly recommend!

I was just reading the reviews.I was also treated badly by this church a few years ago.Im white and they refused to help me with anything but my daughter n law is Mexican and they helped her with food and gave her a lot of free furniture which she dumped because it didn't mean anything to her.I wouldn't go to this church.They didn't seem Godly to me.

Food resource mon-thurs 9-11am. Located Central and Glendale. Gorgeous and friendly church. Say a prayer and pick up a food box and find out when next church meeting if you want to go. You dont have to go to their church to utilize resources. Just try to be early.

THE REVIEW

This is the church in which Holy Spirit descended upon me 1 AUG 15 during a Saturday evening service. I knelt on the floor at the very front when the band started playing some quiet music. Simply, I said, "Father, I'm not going to ask you for anything tonight other than to let my lips praise you in sincerity and truth for once in my life. Just let the words I utter be real." Holy Spirit flowed over me like a gel, slightly cooler than room temperature, flowing around me from my head, over my shoulders, down my torso, and upon my bended legs. My next memory is of pastor Joel Fritz standing over me, asking, "Sir, are you okay." I was flat on my back, my cheeks soaked and covered in what must have been tears. I don't know how much I cried, but the back of my neck was soaked. I looked up at the pastor whose name I did not yet know, and blubbered, "I think I'm okay. He has me. He has everything in His hands, and I'm going to be fine. I think I understand faith now, and what it means to trust our creator." "That is awesome, man. Would you like me to pray for," the pastor asked? "Sure," I responded. The gentleman stretched forth his hand and helped me off the floor where I had been lying flat on my back during the entire music portion of the service. Kneeling together, he placed a hand on my shoulder, and spoke, "My name is Joel. What's your name, sir?" "Karl." "Okay, Karl. Let's pray." It is now more than one year later, and I can assure you that everything is going according to my maker's plan. He has me, and He will neither forsake me nor leave my side. My life has become one of peace and joy in the midst of this crazy world that is falling apart. I know where we are going, all of us. The ride is going to be wild and scary at times, but when the shofars blow, we are going to build anew the foundation of living and walking in Spirit, amid the fire and smoke, from the ashes, we will herald a fresh awakening of the human spirit in communion with Father's Spirit, and together we will create with Him who loves us.

I visited this church a few times. They had a grey-haired tall pastor who acted like I needed an appointment just to say "hello" or "good morning." I kept looking until I found a great church with an approachable pastor.

Giving this place zero stars, had to give it one because otherwise I would not have been able to post. These people are not true Christians. I came here for help and was turned away by their phony "pastor". True Christians never turn away people who are in need of help, not under ANY circumstance. True Christians damn sure don't act like oppressors either, who feel that having a sense of power means that you can just look down upon people. If you are working poor and from a marginalized community, don't come here, because they have a superiority complex here that is downright disgusting, and the racism is evident at this parish as well. Don't waste your time.

Beautiful church but I am still looking for my church home. Only two people even spoke to me. The first thought something was wrong because I was worshiping God. I m grateful for my salvation so my tender heart weeps in worship, sure I m not the only one. The other person took my connection card and put it somewhere under a counter without looking at it. Nice people it seems, mixed ages but not my home.

Love how pastor Mark says it how it is and if it hits you hard especially in your heart; then you know this gives us the ability for improvements with our walk with Christ!!!! With the new knowledge or reminder it makes me look forward on setting some time to go and study the Word, learn and live it!!!

I love this church! I've been at Living Streams for about 3 years now and I immediately felt welcomed and at home as soon as I walked in the doors. I look forward to coming back to my church home every week!

The employee or church member with the maroon Porsche suv with the first responder license plate just drove the wrong way into oncoming traffic with kids in the car. Just to get around me and another car to pull into your church. 7 am on Wednesday Nov 6th. Absolutely reckless behavior.
