Santa Clara First Baptist

Had awesome day yesterday, God bless you 🙏🙏🙏 all.

Such a welcoming community of international people!! I felt very much at home all the times I went there.. It's a great place to be in the presence of our brothers and sisters and worship our Lord together!! I'm a newcomer and yet they've always treated me like I've been there forever.. Totally recommend it!! One of the most warming experiences I've had ever since I arrived in America about a month ago :)

This church is truly my second home, and it's members my family. This isn't just a place on the map, there are lifegroups you can join with other members, there is a great group for Youth known as VIBE, and the people here will try their best help you when you are in need. The congregation here is truly focused on following Jesus, and it shows in their actions.

I am talking about the event :''the nativity scene' that takes place during 4 nights in December. An entire village of Jesus' s time is built on the parking lot of the church, it's impressive. Your feet move on sand. There are different shops respecting the traditions of 2000 years ago. The most beautiful part is the play of at least 70 actors with sophisticated outfits that lead the public to the nativity scene. Historical event and if you believe in Jesus, son of God, then it's the best place for jumping into the true spirit of Christmas.

I have visited this production every year for the last 5 years. It is amazing! The cost is free and they rely on donations. Free hot chocolate, crafts for kids, and live animals! The dancers, the singers, and other actors do an amazing job! An absolute must see for the whole family! Did I mention hot chocolate? Oh good :)
