My husband and I have been attending the Gilbert Vineyard for about 1.5 years after we relocated here from Washington State. This church has strong biblical foundation and an awesome balance of solid theology with the work of the Holy Spirit. We love Pastor Jack's messages each week, as well as the other pastors. We have a strong pastoral team and don't feel like we ever get the "JV" team when they preach on Sunday morning. Worship is great, and we have many high quality and talented musicians of all ages.

A few people did introduce themselves to me. If you love the music part of ministry this church is for you. The music is well done. Rating a church seems hardly appropriate. Lol What didn't work for me ? There was no prayer. Not before the music, not after the music or even before or after the service. Scripture calls for prayer. In the church's defense they do state on the website that at 10:00 am to 10:30 am they have prayer time. Prayer was offered to anyone who wanted it after the service. Just didn't see any in service prayer. I think this is a lovely church with a great pastoral team. Just not a...
