I am looking for a Christian church for my family to start attending. I would eventually like to get my son and myself baptized (DH is baptized from infancy). Can anyone give me some good recommendations on churches? Thank you!

What can I do next?

I second the recommendation for Abundant Life Christian Fellowship in Mountain View - it's a great, energetic church, solid teaching, and very multi-ethnic (which I think is great - it's just like heaven will be :)). It's a big church though, and if you end up liking it, it's really important that you try out some of their "home groups" - small groups of folks (they meet all over the bay area - ALCF folks come from all over) that get together to discuss the sermons and pray for each other. ALCF also has a great moms group that meets every other Thursday morning - a fun thing to get involved in as well :). Hope you can find a place you love!

I definitely second what Sharon L. suggested. I also attend WestGate Church and it has a terrific children's ministry. The people there are wonderful and friendly.

We've found Westgate Church to be very family friendly and woul dhighly recommend it. Located on Prospect Road between Saratoga Ave and Lawrence Expressway, they have 4 services ech weekend to choose from. This church is very community oriented (Google "Beatiful Day" to see how we're helping our city) and fiscally responsible (construction on a new children's building has been postponed until the necessary funds can be raised to prevent further debt). Music is contemporary and the atmospher is very casual. (Pastor Steve wears jeans and cowboy boots).

You can view more info at www.westgate-church.org

Hi D.,

If you are looking for a great church home, I'm sure many of the sight users can recommend their church. There are many family oriented and loving church families around. I personally recommend Abundant Life in Mountain View. Try it out and see if it is your fit. The address is 2440 Leghorn Street. You have a choice of which worship services you would like to attend. There are 3: 5:30PM on Saturdays, 8:30AM and 111AM on Sundays.

I hope you find a great church home that will nurture your spirituality.

Be Blessed,
Y.

Hi D.,

My family and I attend Jubilee Christan Center in San Jose off of 237/1st. It is a wonderful church and the music is great. Last year Jubilee won in the "How Sweet the Sound" competition as best choir for a large church. There are many ministries for you to attend. Three services a week to choose from or go to all. The children absolutley love being at church. The childrens pastors put a lot of focus on the kids. We have a huge facility just for them. You can check us out at:

I second Melanie! I go to Cathedral of Faith and have been since I was about 8 years old. (32 now) In fact my parents bought a house in WG just so it wouldn't take so long to get there. My daughter went to the "My school" the preschool there and is now at Valley Christian. They prepared her for private school and the people there are wonderful. Very diverse and no obligations to dress up. You are welcome just the way you are. God loves everyone no matter what you look like. Good luck and god bless.
