Christmas 2025 Church Guide: Best 15 Churches Near You Anaheim,CA

Hilda Page Ive attended many churches, having lived on both coasts and many states in between. Pastor Sandy is unquestionably the most fortright, humble, unaffected, on-fire-for-Jesus man I have ever had the privilege to hear preach the Gospel! Not only that, but his burden and passion is for all to be ready for our Dear Lords SOON return! Pastor goes to great lengths to explain the Gospel from the Hebrew and Greek texts and ALL who sit under his teachings, both mature in the faith and new believers, will be BLESSED!

Teresa Basinait This is a WONDERFUL church with 2 spirit-filled pastors! Pastor Ben is an incredible prayer warrior and leader in the Army of the Lord. His love and enthusiasm for the Lord are unmatched. Pastor Sandy has in-depth Hebrew language understanding. His Sunday Sermons and Bible Studies are a huge blessing to the Body of Christ. His understanding of the Hebrew and Bible code has been a blessing to me. The worldwide online fellowship is outstanding. I would highly recommend this church to anyone who is disillusioned with modern churches. This church is a breath of fresh air.

Carlos Barreda. Amazing place, you can feel Gods presence. All the kids and the people that helps are so friendly and you will never regret to come and invest 2 hours of your life because it will be the best investment. There are 2 services the first at 9am and the second at 12:30pm, they also have translators available.

C Thank you River Arena for hosting the Anaheim confidential event. It was such a nice location! Seats were comfortable and the screens were great!! You can see well from every seat there! Hopefully next year its hosted here again too!

Shin Kim This church is excellent. The praise and sermons are outstanding. The building is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The church is also actively involved in community service. You should definitely visit this church!

Julie Vinson The community of Eastside has blessed my family in great ways! I have been an Eastsider since I was 10 years old. Eastside has shaped and molded my faith to let God use me in unique ways. I have been filled with truth from Arty, Les and Roger! I used to be connected to Friday Night of Hope. I have been transformed through mission trips to serve globally and in my backyard community. I currently serve aggressive and assaultive patients in an acute mental health ward. God says to love the least of these. I am not currently able to attend a Connection Group (unpredictable schedule as a RN ) - but my dad is highly connected to his connection group. In 2023, my mom had some major health issues at the close of the Eastside Israel trip. She was hospitalized both in Israel and back here it the USA. Her life has been changed forever - with vascular dementia and the cognitive decline her mind is going through. It has been a journey for my dad and me. I have become close to a number of folks in dad’s connections group since everything happened with mom. They have enfolded dad and I in love. They have continued to reach out in care and compassion to my mom. It’s been refreshing and amazing to see the body of Christ come together … and still supporting 2+ years later. I’m not great at asking others for help. However, due to circumstances related to my life, I decided to reach out, as mom has been struggling. This morning, (as I sat here feeIing overwhelmed) I sent messages to those I had contact info for in dad’s connection group. The community that rallied around me (immediately!) was orchestrated by God and the shared community of others. I have some others going to see mom starting TODAY! It was a lesson to me - to see how my asking for help, allowed others to step in and be the hands and feet of Jesus. God blesses those that live and share community together. He never wants us to go through life alone! Thankful and grateful for the ways Eastside uses Connection Groups to not only strengthen and grow to our daily …. But to also offer practical support in times of need!!

Malinda Black I traveled 2 days by bus to attend this church an when I go there I found the camp grounds was full so I went to the church an asked for help finding a cheap place an that I didnt have a lot of money . I was treated as if I was homeless an asked to leave by a female pastor on duty at which point I started to grab my bags an phone to let my wife know what just happened as I was not familiar with the area . The lady then told me to get out an I stated I was calling my wife to let her know what just happened an the lady basically pushed me out the door as I was calling my wife ! The church lady had called the Police on me an told them I was on drugs an not welcomed back ! I am not homeless an dress very nice but was judged because of my long hair which was pulled back in a poney tail . If they thought I was homeless thats a very poor reason to reject someone ! I would be very leary of this church because it seems they are judgemental an dont really care for the poor in spirit an if you dont have lots of money they dont want you there ! I just needed to find a cheap place to stay an maybe a ride back an fourth so I could attend this church but was rejected . I see theres a reason this church is not excepted by the BBC an would be very leary of any teachings coming out of this church ! I spent money I did not have to only be rejected by supposedly Gods people ! This church seems to have the pharisees attitude of Jesus time an no real sympathy when it comes to homeless people an the poor in spirit an want nothing to do with people who are not members of there church which the lady pasture said takes 10 yes to become ! Very sad state of mind for people who are professing the things they profess as a church !! I was once told be a Pasture you can tell another by church an there congregations by the way the treat homeless people an he was very right !!

Stephen Peck I was a new Christian in 2010. Its through this Church that help me to grow deep in love with Christ Jesus. This church helps me fellowship to other Christians. We have a small group that meet weekly in Cerritos. We gives each support so we can go through up and downs in our life journey. This church just want you to feel accepted no matter what background you are coming from. Its a place for all to a place call "your home". We study Bibles and believe Words of God. If you are not a Christian, dont need to worry. You can easily follow the sermons. Pastor Rick is down to earth. He speaks in plain language that everyone can understand the message. He also prepare a sermon notes for all so you can easily follow along the sermons.

Liz Waite Attended church here, the pastor and people are great! If you are looking for a church home a great place to be! The grounds are also magnificent! The perfect place for a wedding!

JAMIE SHOHAM We love go to church on Sunday an we night

Sarahy Cruz-Perez Great church! Been attending since I was 13 yrs old and I love everything we do here. We love our community and try our best to support it in any way.

Dan Ahlberg Great place, friendly people, good programs, chance for service.

Gholston Kristopher “krisPkreeem” Been coming here since 2018. All of the Pastors and Staff are extremely welcoming and caring. The part that kept me coming back is how the messages are based off of biblical content and context. Direct information straight from the source. They have a lot of local events and even have a great Kids program. Worship team is always putting together an amazing set every week and you can tell everyone gives a little above and beyond every week. If you are questioning visiting just go and experience it for yourself. Who knows it might change your life. It did to mine. Thank you ❤️

alexa tejeda I was not impressed, I didnt know anybody. The pastor went on for 3.5 hours he kept crying about everything he talked about. And he spoke about things that didnt make any sense about people from the church that Id never heard of and all the projects that were going on. There was no scripture reading, not much prayer and the coffee was mediocre. They have this million dollar reach out which they want you to donate to.So thats a complete turn off. Another church asking for money dont bother.

Hector Perez This is an exceptional church that loves God and loves people. You will be blessed by the care and acceptance that you get when you come here.

Breezy Gallegos Looking for a spirit filled church that refreshes you , strengthens you with the word of God? This is the place!!! Before God led me and my family here, going to church was just a nice place to worship and be thankful.. This family church truly loves the lord and all who attend who are welcomed and treated like family, its community, etc. They truly live by the word of God, feeding the hungry, giving to schools, and families in need, they show their Godly love in all that they do.. When you are part of this family church, you are edified, restored in all areas of your life with Hands of love, prayers but most of all you are equipped to understand and use Gods word to prosper, build and truly enjoy intimacy with God. Since We have attended Ambassador church, we have been walking in favor and blessings of our lord. We as a family found a Godly Spirit filled church that meets all our needs when it comes to knowing and experiencing God as never before. Gods blessings Gallegos Family

Techmeier Kevin (Mein Seoul) Did a hula show Jeremy for the Plumeria Society. Was a good time! The church itself seems very nice. Very pretty grounds.

Emery Emerson The site for the Orange County Cactus and Succulent Society plant sale.

never stop praying :D Great Chinese church with lively worship and English children and youth program.

LUCAS MA Friendly, both Mandarin and English services available

Victorias Vids You are definitely welcomed to the church always.If you listen to one of their sermons before you go to bed,you will definitely be reminded of Gods love and and fall asleep very fast. We ❤ U Greg and Penny!

Chris Shaw This is a small but powerful church. They have a worship team that brings you closer to the spirit by song and faith, while the pastor (Greg) is witty with his words and is amazing at bringing the message home. His love for his brothers and sisters of God is quite evident and welcoming all to his church. His wife (Penny) is an amazing vessel of faith who is inspirational with her messages as well. They do not pretend to be better than anyone else and make anyone feel part of their family, whether they are a pillar of society or someone fighting addiction or shelter. We recently moved out of state and truly miss this church, and its flock. We only hope that we find half the church in our new surroundings. This will always be home for us.

J. V. I don’t know if any of you had this experience but I when to English mass at 10 am Sunday. People were super aggressive and rude. I have my two little boys with me. A 5 and a 3 years old. We were not making any noise and the staff told me to be quiet because this was mass. Then they told me to go in the back where the kids belong. I tried leaving through the middle door. They stopped me and they say you can’t exit this way, you have to go around. Very sad experience. Won’t ever go back there.

Chrysler Electronic Lean Burn Wonderful little Parish I visited while going to Disneyland Resort in Anaheim california. I decided to come to this place and I found completed inner peace and Tranquility as I prayed my rosary. My wife and son were at the beach this day and I figured I would go around town and see what was outside of Disneyland and I found this nice little Parish clean well lit and open for prayers. People say its not a nice neighborhood but personally where Ive lived in Pennsylvania and Kansas supposedly they were not so great neighborhoods either. I believe this is a Working Class People and this is a working class persons Church like the kind of Catholic churches I attended and Pennsylvania and Kansas. Great little Parish wish I would have had time to come to a service but they were either early in the morning or they were later ones and it took me an hour to walk up there because I did not have a vehicle to drive. If I come back to Anaheim I would like to attend a mass great warm feeling and my beautiful cathedral I would come here again!

Hannah Nelson My husband and I LOVE Influence Church. It is impossible to attend on a Sunday and not encounter Gods presence. From opening prayer to worship and then the sermon, Gods presence is clearly sought after. We have never found a church and congregation so on fire for the Lord. So happy we have Influence as our church home!

Michael Ketterer Influence Church is incredibly special to us and we are proud to call it our home. Recently my family went through a lot of changes, my teenagers were struggling and Influence welcomed us in as their own. We have all been impacted tremendously by the Spirit of God who is living and moving in this community. It’s amazing to see the men in the congregation leading the charge, worshipping front and center at the altar! Teenagers are coming to Christ in droves and are impacting the local schools with the love of Jesus. Most of all, Influence church is marked by the love of Jesus and welcomes every person in as family! We love it here and are grateful for this beautiful ministry!

Kelly Schnick It’s a great church. I’ve been attending the last 15 years.

Patti Ball If your looking for a church that is the real deal this is it! Love God, love people! I love my church!

Pennie Mack awesome

mickey lumbo All are welcome! Sunday service is 10:30 am.
