Neighborhood Church Bookstore

The Neighborhood Church Bookstore has been around for years in the lobby of the church, but it was located around the corner and down a hallway and wasn’t always easy to find. While it was well managed and stocked with a variety of Bibles, books, and gifts, it was tiny and bursting at the seams. But after the recent church remodel and addition, those problems have been solved. The new, improved, and much larger bookstore has a bright, airy location inside and to the left of the main lobby, just past Café 4 (the new coffee bar). The bookstore is spacious, has plenty of windows and natural light, a little nook for kids stocked with beanbag chairs, and plenty of fiction and nonfiction books, Bibles, and children’s books. I love the bookcase of «Pastors’ Picks» and the reading area with two cozy armchairs. It’s a fantastic location with a view of the Bay, and with Christian bookstores few and far between and the recent closure of Jordan’s Village Books, this store is much needed in Castro Valley.
