St Anthony Church - Long Beach (CA)

D. B. Had a wonderful Easter Sunday visiting this church with my family.

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.

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!

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.

bonni nisbet Gospel City Church is a place to worship and learn more about God from a Biblical, gospel-centered world view. I love being a part of this church that truly feels like family!!

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

King Ram My family and I attended this church for about a year, and overall, we loved it. I gave my life to the Lord in May of 2014, but I found this church in 2018. It wasn’t until the beginning of 2024 that I committed to attending regularly. I felt God tugging at my heart and calling me to make this commitment, so I started attending, and soon after, my wife and son joined me. This church has a very tight-knit community where most members seem to have grown up together. While that creates a sense of familiarity and unity, it can make it difficult for newcomers to build relationships. There were a few individuals who really went out of their way to connect with us, and one standout was Joseph, the assistant pastor. Joseph genuinely cared about building a relationship with my family and made an effort to make us feel welcome. I also attended Joseph’s class, which was a great opportunity to engage and grow spiritually. However, I had a different experience with one of the leaders. On more than one occasion, I tried to start a conversation, but the leader often walked away or didn’t seem interested in connecting. To clarify, I wasn’t looking for validation from men, but I believe it’s important to build a relationship with those we choose to have a significant influence in our lives. One thing to note is that being a part of this family of believers requires baptism. Despite the challenges in connecting with that leader, I still grew tremendously in my personal relationship with God during my time at this church. A major transformation happened in my life because I really zoned in on what God was calling me to have faith in. To anyone joining this church, or any church for that matter, I encourage you to take your relationship with God seriously. Don’t make it about you and man, but about you and God. Take every step in faith and involve God in all your decision-making. Most importantly, make sure you are spending more time in the Word of God than with anyone or anywhere else to ensure you’re grounded in the truth. This church has been a blessing, and while there’s room for improvement in some areas, I’m thankful for the growth I experienced during my time here. I will definitely be coming back whenever I’m in town.

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.

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.
