Community Church of Pasadena (COGOP) - Pasadena (CA)

Tania Gilbert I love my new family. From the first day I stepped foot in the church I felt so much love and compassion. Everyone was/is so friendly. I enjoy Bible study on Tuesday nights when I can make it and Pastor Eld. Terry Turrentine speaks a word every Sunday that leaves me more encouraged and empowered. I enjoy praise and worship and the choir. Its an awesome place to go get spiritually fed.

Vanessa C FBC is truly special and unique. I came here on my search for churches to be married at. My mom said my great grandma was a member of the church and she remembered it being really beautiful, so I was curious and thought it would be a sentimental touch to my wedding. Mom was right. The church was a bit more contemporary on the outside than I was looking for (I like the old gothic look), but looks can be deceiving!! The inside was just gorgeous!! There is a large gated patio with a water fountain that leads you to the side entrance. The main entrance is breathtaking. There are 2 parallel runways lined with a red carpet leading up to the altar. The windows are all beautiful stained glass windows letting in colorful light. There are giant iron chandeliers and a massive organ and cross at the altar. Needless to say, THIS was it! I met with Marcie and then Cindie the wedding coordinator. Let me say, these 2 ladies are simply angels. They both were so incredibly patient, kind, understanding and helpful every step of the way. I went multiple times prior to the wedding and we emailed and texted often. Again, they are truly angels and I felt so blessed to have them for this process. Words cannot express my gratitude. My wedding was not typical, and I was happy to know that the church was accepting of my non-traditional dress color, my very tattooed bridesmaid and our use of a reverend who was our dear friend marrying us. Our wedding was very challenging, not because of the church, but because of Covid, my hair stylist gone rogue and a venue that was in constant crisis. I felt like everything was going wrong, and many times when I would be upset, the only comfort I had was the church, Cindie and Marcie. I would like to also mention Paul who is INCREDIBLY talented!! He is their musician and can play everything from the organ, to the piano and harp. I told him what songs we wanted-again, none of which are traditional-and he played it all perfectly!! The ceremony was my favorite part of the day and I will cherish that part of our wedding always. If you are thinking of having your wedding here-DO IT!!

Saundra Johnson You feel the love of the people here. A place that makes you smile. Gods presence is there.

Virginia Becker Pastors Christian and Susannah are enthusiastic about sharing the Love that is the promise of the Lord. The sermon last week enriched my understanding and educated me about the ways humans make sense of our faith. This church truly seeks to be inclusive. The upcoming Alpha Class sounds really wonderful! Thank you for loving people, Frontier!

Tempus Fugit Went to this church long ago, only lived in LA for a year. Truly remarkable — I’ve been to many churches and what Michael and this community bring is honesty, vulnerability, deep insight, connection, and spiritual gifts. I would go back in a heartbeat.
