Revive Church - Long Beach (CA)

Diane Massey We love Sound House Church. We don’t live in Southern California, but visit there 4-5 times a year and never miss a Sunday when we are there! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Ryan’s message always resonates. We drive away after service and my husband and I always say that if we lived in Southern California, Sound House would be our home church.

Darlene Gidley I have attended Bay Shore Church since 1995. I love this church—the people, the pastors, and our support of many organizations in the community that serve people in need. The church provides opportunities for us as individuals, and as a community, to make a positive impact in the world.

Mitchell Ramsey I havent attended yet. Im still actually a member of First Cumberland Presbyterian in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but in good faith, Ima giving yall 5 stars ANYWAY, cause its been told "Cumberlanders" are pretty good people. Actually, in truth... Cumberland Presbyterian church broke from the Presbyterian at some point in the 1800s because the "regular" Presbyterian churches doctrine proclaimed predestination. The Cumberlanders are based in salvation by Gods Grace thru the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Sang in the choir for nearly 30 years.

Jim Manion Very friendly Church.

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!

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.

Giada C Service is fire. I go to Youth Group here and PK Preaching is OP. I like the food at the sanctuary and everyone here is really nice. They are super hospitable and Luz Y Vida welcomed me with open arms. Some of the kids are mid but overall fire experience.

Creighton Ring A warm and welcoming congregation who love one another, and especially visitors! I was in Long Beach for work, and visited GCC Long Beach. I was encouraged by wonderful Bible teaching and an opportunity to experience a caring body of believers and be taught from both the Old and New Testaments. They have both morning and evening times to meet. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover that the congregation typically has lunch/brunch together after the morning time of worship and teaching. Such joy here! I’ll look forward to visiting again.

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.

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!
