College Avenue United Church of Christ - Modesto (CA)

1 /5 Moka: This church USED to be amazing. Back when pastor Micheal and when youth pastor rob were there. Now that both have now left it’s garbage. Since 2021, I can now say that this church is full of old people stuck in the past unable to move forward. The children are cared for, only because they could possibly be new church mates. the old people are judgmental and two faced. the young people from teens to mid 40s are ignored. If you’re looking for a church who wants to APPEAR welcoming go ahead. However they have a current pastor Erin who’s sermons Are boring. Not only is her voice unappealing and bleak but she brings up inappropriate topics to justify the Bible passage or message of the day. Church isn’t supposed to be political to personal yet they are. I now realize that the church has two sides, the side that wants to improve the church for the better ina good progressive way, and the other side that’s stuck up, hypocritical, unchanging and only pushing their agenda.

5 /5 June Sermeno: If youre looking for a church that accepts and loves everyone, this is absolutely the place. They currently have an interim pastor assisted by another pastor. Theyll be there until the church finds a permanent pastor. Theyre both the epitome of what Jesus taught in acceptance, compassion, and giving. The people in the congregation are also absolutely lovely. Try it out. You wont regret it.

5 /5 Rebecca Lee: This church was the most beautiful place to grow up in. No matter where you are on life’s journey, are welcome here. I was raised with so much love and support by all generations of people. It is absolutely a gem in Modesto. This is a safe space for everyone to come together.

5 /5 Cristina Lee: I grew up in this church, spent 10 years going every single Sunday. And I can say without a doubt that this church has the most loving and accepting community and I couldnt be more grateful for the person that it has helped me become today. The pastor, the youth pastor, and the people of this congregation –have always shown me such love and taught me what real acceptance looked like. No matter who you are, no matter where you are on lifes journey, you are welcome here. That was and still is College Avenue.
