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

Benjamin Hansen The Spanish service has restricted seating. You can’t sit just anywhere they want designated rows to be filled first before allowing anyone to sit in the back. If you’re like me and prefer to attend church and sit alone this may not be the place for you.

C Martinez These people water down the scriptures. Never ever hear them teach about hell // death // & the consequences of sin they watered down all bible verses to make you feel good And they beg for donations ….. Also there’s a cafe shop right in front of the theater and they make all Volunteers work for free while charging & selling and exchanging money right in front of the so called church. 1.This place it’s more like a theater/concert 2. They keep you away from The truth of heaven & hell ; they don’t speak or teach you; because if they were to speak the truth, nobody would be happy , so that’s why they keep you happy by doing a lot of singing and showing a lot of advertisements for their own desires 3.promoting slavery to make some one else rich 4. They do more Singing and advertisement than preaching the truth and the consequences of sin! 5. They don’t teach the Gospel 2 Timothy 4:3, where Paul warns that people will seek out teachers who cater to their desires rather than sound doctrine, seeking messages that tickle their ears instead of truth.

Tom Barrial The congregation is very inclusive and there is a welcoming spirit here! Lots of the love of Christ!

Anna Flores I went back to this church in 2008. Prior to that when it was Faith Temple over off of race Street. I was 14 years old until the age of 17. And then I went back in 2008. I have been there since. I love my church I was baptized on June 30th of 2024. I have been in some of their Easter programs. Im also a volunteer in the Good Samaritan Project. That is a service that is every Tuesday evening at the Reaching out Center.

Elena Baruah One of my favorite churches. And my favorites pastors as well. Ken Foreman and Mike Garcia. They are so inspiring!

Napolitano Sansone The community feels like family. The teachings are inspiring and the worship services are uplifting. The Point Church is a welcoming Christian church in San Jose for everyone!

Marguerite Bates Everyone from The Point Church are welcoming. This Christian church here in San Jose has a supportive church family, engaging music, and dedicated teachers. The environment is great for kids too.

Dan S I find it really creepy that I cant drive by on a Sunday morning without that one guy standing out front making "praying hands" at each car passing the front of this church, almost every week without fail. I dont read the Bible but I looked this one up for you: "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others." If you want to be good neighbors - leave us alone when were just trying to drive on Winchester.

D Hawthorne Bethel Church offers powerful worship and teaching that’s grounded in Scripture. The leaders are welcoming and care for newcomers and longtime congregants. The church is also active in serving the local area and meeting needs. It’s a great place to grow in faith and be part of something meaningful.

Christina Gagnon Unbelievably gracious and welcoming congregation. I was visiting from out of town, and they made me feel right at home. The Word was preached, and the love of Christ was strong.

Patty Chung Earnest lead pastor and staff. No pretenses or putting on airs. Just authentic people looking to experience God in a deeper, fuller way. A thoughtful, contemplative church.

Edgar Armando Casas My family started to go hear mass because of my girls in choir. We been there for more than 4-5 years and the storys that we hear from Pastor Rojas always seems to amaze us. Love it!

Rajesh Kaushik The only church which has regular Tamil mass every Saturday in Bay Area.Feels like at home in Tamilnadu whenever I am able to drive down for the Tamil Mass in this church. Though I live a long way away from the church, my family and I make it a point to be there for the Tamil mass atleast once a month.

Jairo Arreola #soldbyveteran I love the energy and the whole set up. They have great production and you can easily see they work really hard to execute the service. Pastor Chase does a great job delivering that weeks message dissecting scripture and helping everyone understand it through modern events, lingo etc. I will continue to recommend VIVE San Jose to those that are in search for a new Church and a positive message.

Irene Guzman I recently decided to call VIVE church home. Some of the things I love about VIVE is the atmosphere that the production and worship team create, the diversity within the leadership and just the overall welcoming and friendly community. Pastor Chase and Beka lead this campus as a power couple and they do it so well. They speak straight from scripture and are so intentional, honest, and knowledgeable. This is an amazing church and now Is a place I call home.

Rintu Varghese Cannot say enough good things about this church. Ive been regularly attending for the past few years and i love this church, the pastors, the staff and volunteers. It gives me so much joy whether it is attending service, serving in different ministries or leading a small group. Finding this church, growing closer to God and building community has been a dream come true! I look forward to keep coming back here, Echo like my second home ❤️

Leslie Yip I cant tell you how much I love Echo church I have been going for four years. I am so happy that I found the church. It really strengthened my relationship with God. I felt his love and presence ever time go to church. I never felt judge or less than by majority of people. The people are welcoming and loving. The church reaches out to the community and homeless people. They do not discriminate people based on race economic statues or you intellectual ability. Everybody welcome at Echo church nobody your background. They have a good amount of small groups attend and be apart of.

Eloise Harris Wonderful place of worship! Biblical teaching & good worship music. Very supportive community & Adult Fellowship classes (Sunday School ) are wonderful with excellent teachers also. Womens weekly bible study is a excellent way to study the bible with a large group of women which also breaks onto small groups. There are now Saturday womens bible study meetings too. I love this church after having been in a very large church for 37yrs.!

Judy Marc Hillside Church has the most amazing staff of pastors who study the Bible in depth and preach truth from the Scriptures without changing Gods message to fit the trends of the current culture. More and more parents who want to walk honestly and humbly with God are bringing their young families to learn Biblical truth. This is an amazing church for people of all ages! Visit Hillside and you will agree!

Car Tos Fr. Martin was excellent in preparing the family for a funeral service,

Gabe Forgive me lord for I know not what I do...or go. I guess if I was Catholic I would have enjoyed the 9:30 service. I must admit I did feel the presence of the lord. And in the end thats what its all about. So needless to say .... 5 ⭐s

Leslie Yip Awakening church is a great church the people are really following the Lord. They invest a lot of time money in outreach to people in the community. The people are not judgmental and love people around them. The worship is good and the teaching is solid. I never felt judge or I was too bad of a person to go church. Check out the church. I promise you wont regret it.

Casey Staub Awakening has been our (family of 5 plus some extensions) home church since late October and each and every week weve been more and more encouraged that we are building a community in the right place. Not only is the community incredibly warm and welcoming, but there has been no inorganic pushing nor urging to serve, give or be involved. Which leads me to believe that every volunteer, and its easy to see, loves to serve God and love on people without any kind of unseen pressure within the church. The pastoral staff from the top down have been preaching truth and backing it with Scripture, and have already hit us with some intense sermons and series solely focused on truth as its written. No fluff nor feel good prosperity gospel here. 10/10

Alex Ong This church is a beautiful place to visit

susana garcia I had not been In this church, many years. Its beauty stunned me.

herchel leon wood if you plan on faking cancer, this is the church for you.

Remy Zuniga I believe God brought me to FCC Pastor Matthew is one of greatest Pastor I’ve ever heard preach. He’s passionate about preaching the gospel. He’s a man of God.

Eileen M The view is so pretty. Our favorite We like the older, wiser priest the best. He is humble, kind, and his homily is to the point. He is highly respected and loved by all. The priest who arrives 15 minutes late for mass…without an apology to parishioners at Villages is…unusual…

Page Larkin The view. It is all about the view. ( see the reviews) We go out of our way to attend mass with Monsignor One priest was 20 minutes late for mass. Not an apology or explanation. Then he was late again And again. Now, everyone is required to be fingerprinted even if your job/ volunteer at the church is to hand out prayer books. Really? Parking lot is packed.
