Bay Shore Community Congregational Church (UCC) - Long Beach (CA)

Jeannie Dunsworth This church has an amazing congregation! They are as diverse as it gets, no one is judged and everyone is welcome. They say "Here you are loved" and they mean it. If you are looking for casual, come as you are kind of worship - this is the place. Comfortable enough to come alone or bring the whole family, they have Sunday School for the kids and a broad assortment of really nice folks for the adults to meet. If you are looking for classrooms to rent, a place to have a wedding, a gym for sports groups, they have a large campus and can hook you up. Check out their website and then check out their church!

Jim Manion Nice church!

Dottsie Nat Im a member of this parish and have been for over 15 years. The parish is open to all and i became part of it because i felt its a warm and accepting parish. You will feel welcomed with open arms from both the priests and community. The masses are traditional but the homily s are related to modern lifestyles. The parish offers alot of extra activities in faith formation, neighborhood out reach, activities for all ages from elementary school thru parishioners in golden years. They have annual book sales, fashion shows, art shows, some with artist from international locals, cont ed for religious growth, giving trees to help make Christmas brighter for the children who would otherwise not have one. I could keep.going on but suffice it to say they offer alot to the neighborhood, and the neighborhood gives back. You will have a sense of belonging to a bigger community....life. Plus i just love the Irish priests....i could listen to their musical accents forever.

Michelle Cortado Excellent community. Very friendly and inviting. My son went to preschool at the LVCC preschool, and now he enjoys the Sunday school. Pastor Steve always delivers an interesting and relevant sermon. We tried a few parishes, this is the one we decided to call home.

Silver Deleon Nice small school and the stuff is very friendly and helpful Im glad to have my boys graduating from that school theyre learning about faith and academic

Jeffrey Clifton Gods house, I love my church and family here

Austin Nation Has been my church home for almost 20 years. So much love and healing in this place. LGBTQ, friendly, hoping one day they will be openly and fully affirming.

Sharon Brown I have learned so much here! Sunday mornings through the New Testament one verse at a time. And Wednesday evening, through the Old Testament, one verse at a time. Before Pastor Roger went home to the Lord, and now Pastor Andrew, taking care of the sheep.

kkrobbins This is my church! I have been attending here for about three years. I love the pastoral staff and really enjoy the sermons presented by Pastors Bill and Brenna. They may not always say what I want to hear, but they always say what I need to hear. The people at this church are pretty much like the people anywhere. They are a bunch of sinners. Maybe thats why I feel like I fit right in. It is a diverse, inclusive and welcoming church. This church pretty much welcomes anybody. Kind of like Jesus does. I am in the anybody category.
