Alan Chaves Wonderful place to worship and fellowship. The pastor delivers wonderful sermons and teaches God’s word in wisdom. Everyone is friendly and welcoming.

Danilo Marko I came to Calvary Chapel Roseville looking for community, healing, and spiritual support. Unfortunately, my experience left me deeply disheartened. I felt that certain leadership, particularly Gene Graves, did not embody the compassion or humility I expected from a church environment. Instead of support during a difficult time, I felt ignored and unfairly judged. This isn’t an easy review to write, but I believe churches should be safe spaces for the hurting — places where grace is lived out, not just preached. I hope this church reflects on how it can better walk in the footsteps of Christ with kindness and integrity.

Vikki Raymond Our hearts are broken. 4 Generations have tithed faithfully. Our daughter was hit on the freeway and completely disabled. Its been almost 3 years and her health is continuing to diminish. Her husband and her have gone through all credit and still cant afford medical attention, pay bills and food. We went to The Grove and asked for help. They gave them $800 towards an electric bill that was to shut off. That was it! Acts talks about taking care of BELIEVERS IN NEED. They preach about all the help they offer so people give. They only want to help none believers not their own house. My daughter as well as myself cant handle the hypocrisy any more. We have experienced their lack of care and empathy contrary to the preaching.

Shaun Bernard Very welcoming Church that is active in bettering the Riverside community. Housing for homeless, great family friendly events and a friendly congregation that shares positive scripture for Christians. Was baptized there and appreciate the fellowship of the place of worship. God is good.

Julia TeeHee After being allowed in the Chapel several times with my 4 yr old whom many Harvest service members have commented how well behaved he was, the greeters turned us away today told we are NOT allowed in chapel with everyone else. My son did not like the children’s center because the kids were mean to him. He loves being with EVERYONE in Gods Castle he calls it. Finally someone told us we may sit in the mothers room but here we are Alone forced to be segregated from the rest of the Church. This is supposed to be like Gods House. This is not feeling of welcome to be expected by a Church with my brothers and sisters of Christ. If this is the same way we are Greeted next time, I guess we will find a Church that welcomes Everyone. God Bless.

Jeff Smith I have been going to this church since 1983 minus one year to Oxnard. I consider Harvest as my second home. And I have been volunteering there since 1990 with parking lot ministry . Great bunch of guys and gals .

Peter Craig Pastor Rex and assistant pastor Jack available and open to pray for you and your family any time. Sunday service at 0930, Bible study Tues. @1900, Wed. at 1900 and Thur. at 1900 Come see what the Lord has for your life.

Steven Morales Great church! Small and friendly and Bible based.

H D Ive been trying to find a church like this since I moved to Indiana and havent found one even close to this one in Riverside where I use to live. I miss the sister get together nights watching a movie and hanging out, the music, and most of all the FELLOWSHIP !!! GREAT ENVIRONMENT AND VERY WELCOMING!!! I miss you all so much and you not judging me for my past the way people here have been!!!

Dr. Stan Harris This is one of the most amazing Churches to experience. I was honored to preach and do my Martial Arts demonstration. The peopke and Pastor are so friendly.

Kaleb Hebron Goodwin A meeting place full of the Truth and full of the Divine life.

Stanley Yu If you are searching for the meaning of your human life or already a believer who wants to apprehend with other believers the depths of God, come here. I thoroughly enjoy the portion of each believer and the diving into the deeper enjoyments of God.

Brenda Jepsen The Real Deal is here. Jesus. GODS WORD. People loving me to life. Eighty (80) people baptized in one service! The Alter is full of people like you and me seeking more of the LORD. All generations. Go home and study your Bible and pray. Introduce yourself to others there. Let them love you.

Melissa C In my experience, this church is great! Very welcoming & have a passion for sharing God’s word. The pastor & his wife have both helped my family in some of our toughest times & have held two of my grandmother’s (both who attended the church regularly ) funerals at their location with love and care. I am forever grateful.

Alcabreraphoto The Exterior design on this Church is beautiful. I captured a recent engagement photoshoot outside of this place.

Crook Brother Very beautiful architecture and right at the heart of the city I’m glad to see a house of God, but as a true believer of the Bible and Gospel the sermons from the woman pastor (which is wrong per 1Tim2:12) are fraught with straight up falsities to the level of lying. She twists scripture to the point of leading people to a belief that hell is not real and just a symbol despite the very clear language of the bible that seperation from God due to sin is a very real thing and the state of separation is akin to eternal torture. I told her after in private confrontation that her position is untenable with the text and that false teachers will be afforded particularly strict judgement (2 Peter), but she pridefully scoffed and shooed me away saying she studied the Bible in college! Haa! What good that’s done for her, she wears lgbt vestments and hold gay weddings while preaching from a book that explicitly calls the union unnatural Romans 1:26-28 and although liberal ‘scholars’ like to pretend otherwise, the book affirms they will not see heaven 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.

meg david Old Church. All the priests here are well prepared for their sermons. Sundays 10:15 Mass has an ASL interpreter and that has helped learn some sign language. All the Greeters are welcoming. Convenient mass times throughout the week. Many interesting activities for parishioners throughout the month.

Angélica García This has been my church for 20 years I love it .

Neverdead Cube The Bible was treated as the word of God here, genuine praise was raised, and everyone was kind and hospitable. The sermon didnt expose the text we read very much, but the pastor reached many places in the Bible accurately and applied the meaning directly and with love. What an awesome congregation!

shardae W I love both my spiritual parents Bishop Gibson and Sister LaVette .They are a dynamic couple who exemplify living life in full submission to God. These two equivocally break down the word in a ways that are simple , rich ,relatable and applicable to real life situations. The lord has used his ministry through them to change my entire life around.

Elena Hofferber It is a friendly bible based Christian Church with a casual, relaxed, and family atmosphere. They offer two Sunday morning services and Wednesday night service. In addition they have Celebrate Recovery program every Friday night.

James Paquin I went to Pathway for about 17 years. A lot of fond memories. I love the people there but I didnt know that their doctrine included a belief that we must be water baptized to be saved. Thats why I stopped going to the Sunday morning service and their Wednesday evening Bible study. They do have a great Celebrate Recovery on Friday evening that Ive been going to since 2006.

Shannon Witt My 1.5 and 4 year old love worship in the kids ministry and always come home singing the songs from the mornings’ worship time. I feel confident that they are safe while I’m attending service or serving in another area. Stone Arbor has allowed our family to connect with many others in our current life stage and there are numerous opportunities during the year for fellowship, service and personal growth. I’m glad we found a place in this church.

Paolo Bilbao Stone Arbor Church is an amazing church here in Riverside. I have been attending for about 8 years. From the moment you get on campus, the friendly and welcoming atmosphere immediately makes you feel at home. The worship area is inviting, which makes it the perfect environment to connect with God and other fellow believers. It is also a low-pressure environment, so if you’re checking church and Christianity for the first time, they really give you the space to explore what all of that means. One of the standout ministries of this church is the safe and fun kids programming. As a father, I am relieved to know that my son is in a secure environment, learning about Gods love while having fun with their peers. This is also a help as we’re able to attend the church service without being distracted. The sense of community here is unparalleled. Stone Arbor Church fosters genuine relationships that go beyond just Sunday services. Its a place where people truly care about one another and support each other in every season of life. Theres a strong sense of belonging, and no one feels overlooked or forgotten. When it comes to preaching, Pastor Josh De La Rosa is committed to preaching the Scriptures and biblical values. Every message is rooted in the Word of God, faithfully teaching and encouraging us to live out the Gospel in our daily lives. The preaching is also incredibly Gospel-centered, reminding us of the hope and grace we find in Christ. If youre looking for a church that offers a welcoming atmosphere, a safe space for your children, a strong sense of community, and faithful, Gospel-centered preaching, Stone Arbor Church is the place to be. It’s a place where you truly belong and can grow in your faith.

Steph Myers I love the atmosphere at Sandals. Pastor Matt Brown is a wonderful preacher. So down to earth. The worship team is great. I love how its brings my adult children together on Sunday.

chris bielinski I attended a conference at this church and I have to say that the staff there were so friendly and welcoming! the atmosphere was so nice! I really enjoyed their architecture and lobby design at this church.
