Christian Life Church - Long Beach (CA)

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.

cyndivr My wife and I feel blessed to have found an inclusive spiritual home at St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church. The community is welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community in word and deed. Thanks to Father Michael for the valuable spiritual counseling before our wedding, for officiating our special day, and for creating a nurturing spiritual space for our family. We look forward to being a part of the congregation as a family. Thank you and God Bless!

Wes Sullivan Pastor Brad preaches great Bible based sermons each Sunday at 11 oclock.

Marie Godbold The only chyrch you can read about in the bible

K. B. Attended my first mass at Holy Innocents Catholic Church for the Sunday 9am Latin Mass. Beautiful, reverent and spirit filled. The Priest began the homily by reading the Scriptures / Liturgy of the Word in English and also did the homily in English connecting together the Scriptures with current challenges we all face in this current age (personally, nationally, in the world, and Mother Church). It is the best homily Ive heard in a long time. Also meaningful was that the Priest who celebrated wiped his eyes after raising the consecrated Sacred Body and Blood of Christ during the celebration of the Eucharist, clearly and deeply moved with the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

Tech Gole Great homily with personal perspective! The priest gave perspective on parishioners present and how God is working in their lives. It made the Mass and Holy Eucharist more powerful.

Temp MedAsst Awesome, welcoming church! Today was my first time and it was a pleasure! Pastor Kris Reed is Awesome in how he deals with his parishioners not to mention his simple, but powerful and delightful sermon! He is a pastor who gets along with everyone Parishioners went out of their way to welcome me, Sister Carmen Reed, The First Lady (Pastor’s wife) who sat in front of me welcomed me, and asked if she could call me to check up on me this week. There were small bottles of water and few packaged snacks at the entrance ( granola bars, crackers, etc.,) to curb your hunger. A first time visitor would receive a small gift also. Please tell anyone who is looking for a church or if looking for a change from their regular church!

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.

Theresa Smith Beautiful church! Contains a gift store and a large running holy water font. Very friendly priests and congregants. The mass said was most beautiful and the gospel was well narrated and even translated! I enjoyed the surprise of an after mass celebration of the "Santo Niño", had by the Philipino community in the parish hall.

Douggie Alvarez Not only is this a great church, they make you feel like family, because you become family. Come and experience not only the great atmosphere the church gives, but the power of Gods presence. My life has never been the same since I stepped into this Church.
