If you want to learn the word of God, worship and serve, this is the church to be at. If you just want to be served, this is the place to learn how to serve. Jesus came to serve and not to be served: "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." Mathew 20:28.

Now I have to miss Greg Laurie's event because of this. Not a friendly church to kids. We just stuck to Cottonwood in Los Alamitos where every form, shape and size are welcome. ...read more
