Fellowship Church - Antioch, California

I don't know who this may help but maybe there will be mixed opinions. I was happy to come to this place because my life has been a downpour, but every time I see people doing ugly things for such simple things, the only thing I can do out of respect is to leave the place. Today I left the church at 11:16 am on September 29, 2024 with my dog ​​because this is the second time they have called my attention.
Every time I arrive I greet all the people I pass with great respect and I think that until today when I gave myself the opportunity to come with my dog, the times I have come I have seated in the back . The seats that are against the wall so that I and my dog ​​​​do not bother anyone.
I would sit in a corner and my dog ​​​​would lie down on the seat that is next to the aisle. My dog ​​​​is very sweet and quiet, he is a service dog, he is not a dangerous dog, in fact the other people who are at the church as volunteers see him and greet him and even like him but they don't say anything to me.
So today is the second time they have called my attention because of the dog.
This person who approached me was a little sarcastic when I told him that maybe he doesn't like animals and he replied that whatever you want.
I told him maybe I don't have to come anymore and he shrugged his shoulders with a gesture.
How are you going to believe in a person like that who pretends to believe in God and is with an arrogant attitude and with authority? To avoid a situation I decided to leave today, since the first time it happened it happened but I didn't leave.
Life is simple there are so many spiritual battles, people who dress as sheep. Omg! I am sitting quietly with my dog ​​​​without doing anything to anyone in a corner happy to be at mass. Why come to call my attention? I don't understand we are not doing anyone wrong! How bad I felt.
I will not come back again this way they avoid calling my attention. You never know what situation you are going through and everything is for a reason.
I wonder in the biblical story. Did God reject animals?
God bless you

I do not live near this church but I am unable to find a church near me that matches Fellowship. So I attend when I can but always watch online, from home. Even while on vacation. I love the diversity of FC. You feel the love even from the parking lot. Then once entered, the spirit is alive! The worship music prior to service is like going to a concert. Pastor Shaun speaks in a way for all to understand and grasp with real life examples so we all can relate. And we cannot leave out his wife, Pastor Dianna. Together, this church has served thousands if not millions world wide. Their generosity is astounding. Most importantly, ALL ARE WELCOME. I have left churches who try to exclude anyone. We are all God's children. Come as you are.

My suggestion to the poster with a dog, watch from home with your dog by your side. There are many reasons dogs are not allowed, no need to list them all. Or perhaps, doggie day care since service is only 1 hour
Come back in person or online.
You belong & you are welcome.

So if you are looking for a church, I suggest you visit in person. Online is nice but in person you FEEL the difference.
Maybe in the future FC will consider opening a church closer to Dublin. In the meantime, I'll see you soon.
Forever HOPE & HEALING.

What an amazing experience and community! As an honest opinion, Shawn Nepstad is absolutely the most special pastor and brings a tear to my eye every Sunday. What an incredible message and belief! This is truly a testament to our lord and savior! God Bless this church.

Amazing all around! Restrooms were nice, many kids classes, machines to check kids in. The auditorium was a good size however there wasn't enough space so they opened up extra rooms (overflow) to watch through a screen. Everyone was nice, the building was too! Free coffee! ? parking was alright, get there early & you'll be good(:
There are 4 service times.

Nice atmosphere but I absolutely luv the number of services on a Sunday. If u can't make early service you can make 1 pm . The pastor is attracting so many young people which is such a blessing
