We had been searching for a church for a long time that made us happy every Sunday, we looked forward to going because of the love of god and the pastors message and passion. We absolutely love this church we have been going since Jan and recently joined. Highly recommended for families with kids. The messages are family friendly and the Bible is posed in way to tie the back to your BUSY and modern life.
Like the format of the services. Many features to the church. They have a library
Prayer room mens and women program . Theatre experience.
Everybody is super nice, they help with our food, they help us save money and they give kids a lot of things to play and they help kids with school supplies.
we just got through seeing Mary Poppins. This was an excellent production. The cast was on point and so professional. I will definitely be back to visit to see more place and to visit their Church
Nice staff, rude non English speaking people in line. Also unless you get there at 4am you are number 50 or more. I watched people show up around 5am and each person would put five or more bags in the line for themselves and their friends get back in their cars an not return until 8when the numbers are handed out. Did I mention non English speaking people. That's not how things are done in America. If I go to your country I'm gonna find out how things are ran at least, I might not speak the language but I'm not going to be rude . But then again I'm an American citizen and lm not rude.
Ive been to this church several times. I like it very much. They offer alot of xtras for the community like free breakfast, clothing and numerous other things for the homeless.
Great facilities, excellent focus groups for all ages
Great Church to worship and I love the bible teachings.
Went to see a theatrical performance of "Singing in the Rain". One of the many wonderful productions put on here.
What a great art performance and amazing experience. Beautiful plays and thoughtful services.
Thank you for sharing your beliefs.
God bless and Merry Christmas!
I had the opportunity to visit this church several times during my vacation. Really enjoyed. I was very well attended with my family. I will miss you when I return to Brasilm
Love it! Great people to worship with. Larry is always insightful and encouraging. Wish I could go more frequently.
Ushers were kind and helpful getting my Walker back to me they wore headsets phone to communicate with each other and yes I would recommend this church for religious plays
Great theater department here! I've seen three of their shows now and have thoroughly enjoyed every one. The people at the church are very friendly and helpful too!
Lots of quality volunteer and paid staff make this a great experience, from parking to finding a seat to worship and preaching
Last night ( August 4 ) I attended one of the performances at this church called Singin' in the Rain. During the intermission I went to get a cup of coffee at the Cafe 4 inside the building. They had just closed so I asked if there was another place to get some coffee (meaning another place within the church area). A young girl with long brown hair working behind the counter shouted at me in an angry manner "STARBUCKS DOWN THE ROAD!" as she stomped past me into the kitchen area. I was shocked at her behavior. I told a young man wearing dark rimmed glasses who was behind the counter about her disrespectable behaviour. He clearly had the same attitude as the girl and said "well, we have to deal with a lot! ". I said "can you please tell that young girl that whatever is bothering her to not let her anger rule her behavior towards people". He said (in a disrespectful manner) "I'm NOT going to tell her that". First of all Jesus had to deal with a lot too and He was never mean to people. Second, if someone is serving coffee in a church then they are a representative of the church and should conduct themselves accordingly. I explained what happened to two gentlemen at the door to the theatre, they were appalled and very apologetic which is why I gave my review 3 stars. The performance was great and I will only go to this church for future performances of the theatre but not to worship.
Great church. I grew up here. I do wish it was more tradition and less like a rock concert. I love the people.
A big church with a neighborhood feel. Many opportunities for people of all ages sex orientation to worship and find fellowship. Many outreach programs. Feel closer to God every time I attend.
They have 3 services in big church in English also have in spanish but not sure. Bible study in the morning. Handycap accessible plenty of parking.
Love that this church has a cafe. Pleasantly surprised to see people hanging out during the day. I thought I was at Starbucks. Their Theatre productions are amazing!
Had to get help, they give food out.very unorganized, people cuft in line in front of me.food is old.
The Best Church I have ever been to. If you live nearby, check it out!
My kids were raised at this church we would go every Sunday and honestly is was amazing this church has made so many good impacts on me and my family it s like my second home
One of the best places I have been. Amazing and kind hearted people are around. Pastor Larry is a genuine, wise and kind hearted man of God. I will love him forever.
Love this church used to go-to Sunday school as a child. Can't believes it's still there n better than ever!
Lovely church. Great for families. The children programs are excellent and I enjoy the high quality play productions they do several times a year.
This Sunday (May 17, 2015)...Pastor Danny Strange (Young Adult Pastor) topic was about FASTING.
I learned how essential it is for us to make fasting, along with prayer a part of our lives. When we fast it is all about GOD! We grow closer to God... we must be careful not to FAST with wrong motives/intentions. The reward of fasting leads to an Intimacy with God that is liken to none other. It is very personal.
To fast & pray should be like "breathing" to us... after all, Jesus our Lord & Savior fasted & prayed diligently...fervently!
Pastor Danny also discussed the reasons "why" Christians may not fast... some of the reasons were:
Too busy, feel like fasting is ineffective, do not like to go without food or drink, think that it's just for clergy or disciples of the biblical times, too ashamed of "what" others will think, do not really "understand" the truth of fasting, don't want to be bothered...think it's trivial, etc.
When we go without food & drink... we become HUNGRY. The physical body feels depleted, malnourished. That is what God want us to do when "fasting"...HE wants us to "hunger... thirst" after HIM. Food & drink is essential for our physical bodies. Being in fellowship with GOD via fasting is essential for our "spiritual" growth.
We depend on food & drink to survive! God realizes the great importance placed on nourishment, after all, He created us. He also realizes that it is essential for man to have a healthy strong spiritual body, as well.
One chief way for man to realize that GOD want us to "depend" on Him (just like when we eat food & drink for substance, nourishment, strength, etc.) is through FASTING... it would please Him greatly if we would HUNGER for Him. And realize that the HE should be our FIRST LOVE...Our FIRST THOUGHT.
How often do we make FOOD our first love? Perhaps, our first thought of the day is what we are going to eat. Our thoughts are occupied by what we will consume from the start of the day to the setting of the sun AND all in between. Imagine, how great it would be if GOD occupied that space (thought).
Oh, how PRECIOUS that would be! Imagine, how CLOSE we would grow in the Lord.
Willingly desiring that GOD be our first love... our first & last thought! To be in His presence, praising Him for WHO HE IS (The Great I AM). Purely Loving HIM with all our affection... truly seeing GOD (Our Heavenly Father) as the apple of our eye. WHEW!
We should admonish & reverence GOD every day... we should surrender time for reading the Word (Holy Bible), worship, fellowship, prayer/meditation AND fasting.
OH, "TASTE" & SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD!
Saw the summer show Singing in the Rain. Delightful. Large lobby to wait in. Lots of steps tho. Free parking but only one way out slows traffic. Great views.
Great atmosphere. The message is on point. The people are like family here. A great church to call home. Parking isnt always the best but well worth it
Welcoming to all. Small groups for all ages great kids programs. And good coffee
My earlier review told the truths out the inner workings and got taken down. Confirmation! Don t take your kids there. Fon t Be deceived by the glittet
This church is about life transformation through following Christ.
Not one Pastor, not anyone else, but all glory is for Christ alone.
We worship God alone,
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, all three in one.
This church does amazing outreach and ministries for the community. Very large congregation and could get lost in the crowd if that s not your cup of tea
I loved this place they have good food all the time and are verry considerate to you
Wonderful church with loving staff. Great opportunities to serve and to fellowship with others. Truly a blessing to our community!
3crosses, ie Neighborhood Church is a Bible teaching Christian community. It is full of classes and programs along with 3 Sunday morning services.

Cafe 4 is also located on the hill top campus, all are welcome open 6 days a week, the church 7 days a week. Come and visit.
Awesome bible based church with ministries for all age groups. Love the preaching of Pastor Larry Vold!
Very well organized megachurch. My family and I saw a Christmas play that was great if not a little too long.
This Church is pompous and word of God is not revered and taught as the double edged sword that divides soul and spirit, bone and marrow!
The people are so great and loving and I just appreciate so much what they've done for my family it's definitely helping us get through this pandemic
Large church. Never seen it crowded, other than on worship times.
Warm and welcome feeling great place to worshipping...
A sharing place of the entitled neighborhood church, as spoke of. The King Of Kings, play yesterday in my soul is fruitful food to digest.
I felt welcomed from the first moment I walked in! I look forward to gathering and sharing time with the Home Builders group each week. Thank you and God bless
Great place to be spiritual, with a loving God. Also a great place to get a spiritual muscles.
Friendly church where like minds can meet and where there is true peace to get answers for your life challenges.
One of the great churches in Castro Valley originally from OAKLAND California pastored for many years by Jake Bellig followed by Larry Vold
Love this church everyone is friendly and caring and a lot of ministries as well
Amazing church services and really blessed people around. God bless them all.
All very beautiful, good brotherhood and much blessing, the pastor in Spanish is a blessing to our family
I sense the presence of God in this church. Three Crosses is a place for searching people to encounter Jesus through worship, teaching, fellowship and service.
Interesting place. Free wifi and plenty of space. Might be hard to find a power outlet if you need that. But it s a good place to chill and study or work.
Warm & welcoming to everyone, the sermons are focused on Loving The Lord and Loving our neighbors.
Great church, very good people. The pastors are wonderful and spread the word with good understanding.
Great church and coffee house open in front building
Even though this church is HUGE it feels like home. As a business it is ran like a well-oiled machine, as a church it is based on sound Doctrine and is incredibly welcoming. It has transformed my and my family's lives. Check out the children's ministry, your kids will love it!
