WestGate Church Review

This is a great church that is very involved in local and global missions. During the main services Steve and other pastors do a great job of speaking in a way that people who are new to church and those that have been around a while can get something out of the message. It is a large church so to get to know others in the church I would highly recommend joining a Life Group.

I love Westgate! I always leave feeling 10 times better than when I arrived. Nice people...pastor Steve is amazing and so are all of the worship leaders...the music ministry is phenomenal!

I thought I was in a rock concert...loud music, dark with musicians jumping up n down, smoke filled rooms etccc...

I found this church via their website. I loved their design and quickly decided that I would visit the church. It has now been 3+ years since I first attended and I've found some amazing people to call my community. 4/5 stars only because no one is perfect, but all are welcome.

This has been my church family for over 20 years. A great faith, bible based church that knows how to worship! Excellent passionate sermons with relevants to today life time.

Very balanced teaching and an incredibly generous and compassionate community !

Great Church. Friendly, inspirational, singing, and always a great service.

If you are not their member, be aware of you donation receipts never get to you on time.

This is my second year to do the begging for my tax receipt. Last year their excuse is that they were change some kind of system. This year still the same delay. They don t even response to your phone calls or emails within 3-4 business days.

It s now almost the mid of February, I am still not receiving my receipt. I ve email them twice without any productive response.
I ve given them a send chance. Even my donation amount (less than $2k) is tiny in their eyes, I decide to make this statement that I ll never donate money to them again.

You will feel that you are at home from the first time.
You will feel that you belong to this church and not just attending.

I've been attending this church for 6+ years. A great community. Great children's program, and for adults, parking can be tight though

Friendly people, great messages and engaging worship. They are impacting the local community via Beautiful Day and other outreach efforts. They are actively involved with helping communities around the world by bringing them fresh water as well as hope!

Great debate with Frank Turek and Michael Shermer. Atheism vs. Theism.

After coming up from southern California about a year ago and looking at different churches, this is my home. They speak from the bible and practice what they preach. Friendly, open, good leadership. They focus on community and the people around them and the city is a better place because of them. Really really glad to call this place my he church.

Such a real place, so authentic, not fake. Warm people, truth from the Bible, a people who do their best to focus on loving God, one another and our neighbors, in true Jesus style.

New to California and I'm already unequivocally decided on this church. I've worked and volunteered at many churches from Atlanta to Boston to Scottsdale Arizona and sometime's it would take a hunt to find the right fit, but after only one visit I'm without doubt. Pastor is solid, sermon rocked, preaching princapals I agree with and grounded in the scripture. I'll be attending that newcomers event this coming Sunday, you better believe!

This was the first church we attended as it came up first on a Google search for churches in San Jose. So we were a bit skeptical. But we were greatly surprised. The worship is wonderful, the sermons are impactful,thoughtful and interesting and the grounds are inviting and fun.
The cons: The music/ worship is loud. They do offer ear plugs. But if you like to hear yourself sing, you'll be disappointed. I saw this as an opportunity to sing loud
It is a big church so be prepared to join a Life Group (small group) in order to meet people. Although I find you need to do that for any church size.
I always left the service refreshed and ready to engage in another week for The Lord.
I also loved the opportunity to serve with Westgate Water. The church collects, sorts and redeems any CA CRV products and gives all the money to find wells in areas that need clean drinking water. They team up with Living Water International to make this possible. It's awesome to see the transformation you can make in someone's life with something that would of been just thrown away.
The church looks for opportunities to make a difference in their community all in the name of Jesus.

Christ-centered church focused on loving God and others

We love this place and have been coming here for 4 years.

We attended Easter Sunday service with our daughter and son-in-law. Wonderful service, friendly people, welcoming place that honors God, the Bible and the risen Lord, Jesus Christ. So blessed that our kids have found a home in this church. When we come back to California, we will visit again.

The First Person I meet on My First Visit to Westgate Saratoga was Debbie the Coffee Lady. Her first impression on me of Christian Love carried thru The entire Church. Westgate is the Greatest. Parking is at a premium so visitors need to get there early.

Great community, open and honest lead pastor. Have a great focus on service.

The ambience and customer service have been excellent every single time that I've been here. It's always a pleasure for me to introduce someone who's never been here before, because the reviews/comments are always favorable..

Excellent place to worship our Lord I love it, and found a home

Thought provoking, not-your-usual sermons, appealing to both believers and fence sitters. Well dressed crowd.
