ginger bartrug What a gem! It isnt so much a church to me and my husband, but rather people we have come to know and love like family. The people are real and greatly exemplify Christs love.

Cody Bartrug This church is such a blessing. My wife and I moved here from West Virginia and found this church quite refreshing and true to the Gospel. Their pastoral staff is so caring and really wants to see your relationship grow in Jesus. They truly live out the Gospel in their preaching, teaching, counseling, and everyday lives. I thank God for churches like Anthem.

Jessi Roesch Open Door is a warm, welcoming group. When we moved cross country, my husband and I found a new California family here. We are grateful for the support and love of our church family. Diverse mix of age, life stage and economic status. We also love that they support YoungLife!

david peters This Church follows the teachings of Jesus. Its filled with true believers who are learning to "love one another" Come and be loved!

Alicia Howard Love my church! My family and I have been here since 2017 and have only grown more in our faith and our relationship with God. We’re so thankful for the incredible youth ministry program that they have. Both my husband and I have served in that ministry and our son currently attends. It has been an incredible experience. I serve on the worship team as well with an incredible group of people. Staying plugged in is such an important part of staying connected. Could not be more thankful for our pastoral team and support staff. Thank you for making our church a place my family desires to be.

Emily Hess Marin Covenant is second home for me. Between the community becoming my family, the Holy Spirit being felt in the building and all around, it is a true gift to have grown up in this community.

Clifford Sennello Large, open church (no columns) with part-semicircle seating. Went for a funeral.priests friendly, but I did not see the regular Sunday congregation.

R Guerra Couldnt find church the Google GPS was completely off. Thank you for sending me the wrong way!

Craig Stuart Adams We love this beautiful sanctuary and its surroundings. It is truly a treasure to discover in Marin!

Brad Harris Latin mass at 11:45 on Sundays. The church is amazingly beautiful, kneelers are the worst. Pro tip lower the kneeler in the row behind you at the beginning of mass to give you more room. Theres a nice shrine for St Mary at the back of the property.

Jordan Daley Bay Marin Community is a great church that really makes you feel at home. Matt, the pastor, was extremely welcoming to my family and he gives a very thought-provoking message. I would recommend Bay Marin to anyone looking for a church in the Bay Area.

Juan Pablo Gonzalez Nice church.

Martin Corona Welcoming, warm, loving and inclusive community.

renee kristofors My Mom and I went here for the first time 2 weeks ago and we LOVED everything about this church. We were greeted at the door, told them we were first timers and guided to the front desk and given a gift bag!!They are the nicest people you’ll ever meet!! We will definitely be going back.

Samuel Goodwin We moved to San Rafael in October, 2015 and we wanted to find a church that preached the Bible and believes the Jesus Christ is the Son of God, That he died as the sacrifice for our sins, that he was raised by God from the dead, and that he reigns in Heaven with God and that we will join him at the appropriate time. We found that at Valley Baptist Church. It is a loving, warm, and friendly congregation for all ages, backgrounds and races. The preaching is both inspiring and educational and the love of God is readily apparent. Kathy and Sam Goodwin.

Toni Davis I first came to Lincoln Hill about 6 years ago. It struck me how warm, loving, and sweet this church was and is. It is diverse, real and down to earth. Not to mention the Word is being spoken with love and conviction. Out of all the churches Ive been to in Marin, this is truly the place Ive felt most comfortable, and so does my son and daughter which is so important.

Alessandra Sarraf The faith is real in this congregation. This is a loving community that tries to live everyday by the examples of the Christ, people here take care of each other and the pastor is a passionate and dedicated leader that lives and leads us by the truth of the Bible. Services are bilingual English/Spanish!

Antonio Di I was horrified when I received a letter today informing me that Arden Wood would be closing its doors ravaged by the economy. First Church of Christ Scientist in San Rafael was always, always an incredible place to attend and to call home. The people were wonderful, and the blessings this church and its principles enabled me to acquire are timeless and have enabled me to survive much despite what medicine would have wanted me to believe. Here I met Bert and Gloria Rosenfeld to name just one incredible family. I will be forever grateful to the church, the people that made up the church, and my family (Evelyn and Asa Briggs) for the opportunity to have been raised in such an incredible place. Thank you.
