Shaun Walker The church that sang "Christmas time is here" for A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Patrick Bowen An active church, engaged in the community. Update February 2019: Working thru this church (along with others at other churches) to minister to inmates at San Quentin. Good work to be doing.

Kris Kamrad Wonderful church with Kind people

Vickie Bell Nice little chapel

Jordan Daley Bay Marin Community is a great church that really makes you feel at home. Matt, the pastor, was extremely welcoming to my family and he gives a very thought-provoking message. I would recommend Bay Marin to anyone looking for a church in the Bay Area.

Antonio Di I was horrified when I received a letter today informing me that Arden Wood would be closing its doors ravaged by the economy. First Church of Christ Scientist in San Rafael was always, always an incredible place to attend and to call home. The people were wonderful, and the blessings this church and its principles enabled me to acquire are timeless and have enabled me to survive much despite what medicine would have wanted me to believe. Here I met Bert and Gloria Rosenfeld to name just one incredible family. I will be forever grateful to the church, the people that made up the church, and my family (Evelyn and Asa Briggs) for the opportunity to have been raised in such an incredible place. Thank you.

Ralph Younker Welcoming and comfortable seating, Pastor Will and his wife Martha blessed and filled with Holy Spirit!

Joel Danielson Great community, new building, cool tech setup for a small church. Pastor Will is a very gentle and wise man.

Adam Kelly Had to escape frequency jamming by the Navy NSA there.

Bobby Winter Brought a load of playground sand for their facility and was given a chance to out on a show for the adorable kids who go there. They loved the truck with all its bells and whistles and were excitedly involved with the whole thing. It made my week! The teachers were all helpful in keeping the kids safe and I believe they enjoyed the experience too.

Sonia Haro Great place to worship

Bety Paz It is a blessing to be part of this church full of the love of God, I recommend it to all those who have nowhere to congregate.

Mario Santos In this church the presence of the living God is manifested, the members seek with enthusiasm and zeal to please the Lord. In this church I have felt at peace, safe and enthusiastic, dont think twice, come and join our family.

Alicia Howard Love my church! My family and I have been here since 2017 and have only grown more in our faith and our relationship with God. We’re so thankful for the incredible youth ministry program that they have. Both my husband and I have served in that ministry and our son currently attends. It has been an incredible experience. I serve on the worship team as well with an incredible group of people. Staying plugged in is such an important part of staying connected. Could not be more thankful for our pastoral team and support staff. Thank you for making our church a place my family desires to be.

Emily Hess Marin Covenant is second home for me. Between the community becoming my family, the Holy Spirit being felt in the building and all around, it is a true gift to have grown up in this community.

Shawn Hardy The first day I showed up, my family was warmly greeted by a woman named Emily. Since then, we have gotten to know her and the rest of the Marin Covenant Church ministry staff much better. After a few years at the church and in this community, the Pastors, Ministry Staff, and community members walk the talk - they deeply love and follow Jesus. They love all who come through the front doors - those who are first-timers and those who have been coming to their church to hear the gospel for years. The Church is very healthy and, honestly, the best intentionally built church community my family has ever joined. Thank You, MCC team, for loving my family so freely! We are grateful for you!

renee kristofors My Mom and I went here for the first time 2 weeks ago and we LOVED everything about this church. We were greeted at the door, told them we were first timers and guided to the front desk and given a gift bag!!They are the nicest people you’ll ever meet!! We will definitely be going back.

Samuel Goodwin We moved to San Rafael in October, 2015 and we wanted to find a church that preached the Bible and believes the Jesus Christ is the Son of God, That he died as the sacrifice for our sins, that he was raised by God from the dead, and that he reigns in Heaven with God and that we will join him at the appropriate time. We found that at Valley Baptist Church. It is a loving, warm, and friendly congregation for all ages, backgrounds and races. The preaching is both inspiring and educational and the love of God is readily apparent. Kathy and Sam Goodwin.

Frederick Tremblay Super church family and amazing sermons!

Jessi Roesch Open Door is a warm, welcoming group. When we moved cross country, my husband and I found a new California family here. We are grateful for the support and love of our church family. Diverse mix of age, life stage and economic status. We also love that they support YoungLife!

david peters This Church follows the teachings of Jesus. Its filled with true believers who are learning to "love one another" Come and be loved!

Jayme H. Budensiek I visited this church in 2010 and came back because of the warmth of the pastor, the friendliness of the people and the amazing worship during the service. This church has become home.

Juan Pablo Gonzalez Nice church.

Martin Corona Welcoming, warm, loving and inclusive community.

Richard Elliott Beautiful setting high on top of hill overlooking the valley leading out Lucas valley road very serene place to contemplate and meditate

A’sHat SelfieStick Talking about seeing the light as seen in my posted photo. I belong to another Marin church, so I have yet to visit this (no pun intended) enlightening church.

Heather Jolly Very pretty church with lots of parking. I attend a mediation group on the space ( not sponsored by the church- just rent the space) so cant comment on the church itself

Michael Varnum I found St. Lukes by chance, attended service once to check it out and now, months later, my week and my life is not complete without sharing worship and fellowship with this congregation. Pastor Nicole inspires all to live in joy and love in Jesus Christ in ways I thought I could never accept or understand. She and the congregation all poured out their love and prayers for me when I recently diagnosed with cancer. That has made for a miracle - I am going to be OK. I am filled with gratitude.

jose ramos Wonderful people. Great service.

Erich Flertzheim Nice Thanksgiving dinner

Paul Shea The church opens its door to the homeless and we are grateful for that. There Tuesday night dinner that feeds a lot of us on the streets is always nice I just hope it can last longer sometimes the money is not there the donations arent there. But I know the cook the big guy whos been cooking always Cooks great food always nice there and its nice to see people that we know. I really hope it stays and its the doors are over to us cuz we really need it....

Erich Flertzheim Jeffrey Cochran is a good speaker the Rev of the church

Raúl69 Excellent

ginger bartrug What a gem! It isnt so much a church to me and my husband, but rather people we have come to know and love like family. The people are real and greatly exemplify Christs love.

Cody Bartrug This church is such a blessing. My wife and I moved here from West Virginia and found this church quite refreshing and true to the Gospel. Their pastoral staff is so caring and really wants to see your relationship grow in Jesus. They truly live out the Gospel in their preaching, teaching, counseling, and everyday lives. I thank God for churches like Anthem.

lydia edwards Such a beautiful and welcoming body of believers. Great worship, the sermon was full of God’s word and taught by an open man. They love travelers just passing through and it seems like the members are a true family

Craig Stuart Adams We love this beautiful sanctuary and its surroundings. It is truly a treasure to discover in Marin!

Brad Harris Latin mass at 11:45 on Sundays. The church is amazingly beautiful, kneelers are the worst. Pro tip lower the kneeler in the row behind you at the beginning of mass to give you more room. Theres a nice shrine for St Mary at the back of the property.

Liliana Nazarian Christmas concert was fantastic in this beautiful church.

Toni Davis I first came to Lincoln Hill about 6 years ago. It struck me how warm, loving, and sweet this church was and is. It is diverse, real and down to earth. Not to mention the Word is being spoken with love and conviction. Out of all the churches Ive been to in Marin, this is truly the place Ive felt most comfortable, and so does my son and daughter which is so important.

Alessandra Sarraf The faith is real in this congregation. This is a loving community that tries to live everyday by the examples of the Christ, people here take care of each other and the pastor is a passionate and dedicated leader that lives and leads us by the truth of the Bible. Services are bilingual English/Spanish!

Gigi Bibeault A warm and caring community church that loves God and exemplifies His amazing grace. The Pastor, his wife, and the Leadership Team are remarkable people with hearts of gold who strive to serve the Lord well. Bilingual services too. 5 stars!

Terri Abelar I love seeing their messages on the board every morning that I drive by

Effective Christian Outreach Center, inc. Loved it

Iva Codrokadroka We meet at 10am for prayers before worship service start at 10.30am . We always share a vegan gluten free soup for fellowship with coffee after service.
