Finding a church that your whole family loves can be a challenge. Maybe you and your spouse like the pastor at a certain church, but your teenager doesn’t feel comfortable at their youth group; or you have a young family, but some of the churches you’ve attended seem to cater more to senior adults. Since you can typically only visit one church a week, it can take a while to find one that’s the right fit for your family.
Of course, you can always ask your friends and neighbors who attend Temecula churches which ones they recommend, but if you’re new to town and don’t know many people yet, or not many people in your circle of friends attend church, suggestions can be hard to come by.
Many people start their search for Temecula churches by visiting church websites. While it’s not the same as actually stepping foot in a church building, visiting a website can actually tell you quite a bit about a church, and if it might be a good fit for your family. For example, most churches will list their upcoming events. They may also talk about the types of groups they have that you can join, such as Bible studies, adult fellowship groups, youth groups, and more.
For example, if you go to the website of Sunridge Church in Temecula, you will see that the church offers multiple Bible studies for women, a men’s group, a middle school group, a high school group, a program for moms of young children, and more. The website also describes how they care for children (including children with special needs) on Sunday mornings during the church service.
There really is something for everyone at Sunridge Church! When you attend on a Sunday morning, you’ll find people in many different seasons of life there—from families with small children to senior adults.
One attendee of Sunridge Church said, “I love that we have people of all ages at our church worshipping together! I’ve been to churches where they had different services designed for different age groups, and while I understand why they would do that—different generations tend to like different types of music—I think there’s something special about looking around my church and seeing people—old, young, and in between—worshipping God together. There are multiple families at Sunridge with three generations attending—kids, parents, and grandparents—which I think is great!”
Sunridge Church certainly isn’t the only church in Temecula where people of all ages feel welcome, but it’s a great example of a Christian church that is doing its best to meet the needs of a variety of age groups.
