New Hope Church at 2120 Olivera Court, Concord, California.

First time there and better than I expected! Not big on Christian music, but the band is very good and I found myself swaying and moving to the songs. The other patrons seemed nice and ranged in age from young to old. However it seemed made up of young families, and young and middle aged adults mostly. They have a strong youth ministry, if that's important to you. We had the opportunity to hear the youth pastor that Sunday, and I must admit I was a little disappointed we wouldn't be hearing from the principal pastor... BUT it didn't last long because the youth pastor was GREAT and had a great message. I definitely recommend you slip on in if you're the slightest bit curious. Dress code is casual though some did dress up. And feel free to bring you cup of joe in - I wasn't sure so I left mine in the car, but tons of folks had brought in theirs.

This is such a wonderful, uncommon place. I've visited many churches in the my lifetime. I have a church home, which is amazing. I decided to visit this church with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. This church teaches the Bible. It doesn't add anything. It doesn't take anything away. It gives you the true word of God. Then it gives you instructions to apply scripture to your life. That's very uncommon. Many churches will use scripture incorrectly. That's why it's important to know scripture. But this church not only teaches scripture correctly, it gives you instruction to apply it to your life. This will lead to a changed life. Wow! What a pleasant surprise. I look forward to visiting again.
