Mosaic at the Rialto Theatre — Attraction in South Pasadena

If you want to become a CHURCH GOER, you should come here.

But if you want to be a committed DISCIPLE of Christ and grow with other committed disciples, then you should go somewhere else.

I spent 6 months attending that church and this was my experience. Btw, another committed disciple told me he experienced something similar and that many aspects of the church are just superficial:

This church doesn't have a good strategy to make disciples, or they probably don't care about making disciples. They probably confirm with having hundreds of church goers.

There are groups but they only meet for a few weeks, about 3. There's no continuous small group meetings to learn about the Bible.

There are cliques, and it's not easy to form friendships unless they really like you then they show it

All the nice things you see are just SUPERFICIAL: the welcome team, the good music, the free snacks, the talented speakers, the pictures and videos on Instagram. It's just superficial. Don't get me wrong, all that is GREAT to have but Mosaic is doing an inefficient job to help disciples grow.

I noticed most people don't know what steps to take to grow in their relationship in Christ. It looks like they just go for other reasons like just to hang out.

The few leaders quote on quote (not the pastors) don't have a good preparation

However! They do plan many activities to create community. I do give them credit for it, but still it feels like the Holy Spirit isn't in...

I would give it zero stars if I could. We went there for the first time last Sunday, and all the staff made us feel so unwelcome trying to make us leave because we came with a baby. They keeps asking the entire service for us to be moved to a family room where there is a TV. First of, my baby was perfectly fine, second, if I wanted to watch a service through a TV, I would watch it in my house. This wine guy was so rude, asking me to leave and if not to give her a pacifier o a bottle. Guess what? You don’t get to tell me what to do with my baby. I left so frustrated and disappointed by my religion and my community, and will never ever go back or recommend this place to anyone ever. God says, bring the children to me, not send them away to a different room because they are not welcome...

I’ve driven by the Rialto theater for years, and I have seen it rot, for many years, and nobody in South Pasadena ever seemed to care, but since Mosaic moved in and spent time renovating it , people are bitter! I agree it was a theater in the past, but now it has life, maybe you should go inside and experience “Mosaic” I did, I still attend Holy Family Catholic Church in South Pasadena,...
