An incredibly well balanced church — -everything you could ask for is right here. Loving and caring environment, great worship teams, (music and prayer) friendly people with a strong passion and true purpose to serve the Lord. Anyone and everyone is welcome in this place

There are times in our life that we wonder what is Gods plan in the situation that we find ourselves in. Oh yes we may have gotten ourselves to this place and truly we cannot blame God. The question comes when we realize the place we are in and what we will do about it.
A few years back I found myself in such a place… I had been attending Calvary Chapel’s for 29 years. I was about ready to move from Orange County (OC) to Santa Clarita (SC) or so I thought. My first consideration in moving seemed simple enough, find a Calvary in SC before I move. I immediately started scouted the area, I made the calls, I stopped by to introduce myself and I attended different services. Oh the joy was there and people were getting feed, yet something just was not right with me calling it home.
I leaned on God in faith that He had a great plan. As I searched the internet I found «The Church On The Way Santa Clarita» (TCOTWSC) and pastor Doug Anderson. I listened online each week and I attended services when I was in the area. We all know that feeling we get when we walk in our homes after a long day and that is what I felt as I began to worship God along side of pastor Doug.
The more I connected with the ministry the more I learned about God that I had never learned at the Calvary’s I attended. Yet the longer I was connected to TCOTWSC the more those that attend learned from me about God. What was first a very scary concern of stepping out in the direction God had me on ended up being a huge blessing to many.
A blessed happy ending???
Well yes very much so, but now what you would expect.
After all the many months of planning to move even to the point I had a rented home to move to and I had even moved some of my items, I ended up not moving to SC. Now don’t be sad here because the story doesn’t end there. God had a plan in my reaching out in the faith path He had me on and I am still blessed in my ongoing relationship with TCOTWSC.
Oh I did eventually move but it was to Apple Valley and to a huge home we were able to purchase! and yes… my search for a new church started all over again. However, my search was no longer a scary task! My hunting for a new church was so exciting knowing God had a plan. I knew I just needed to lean on God and be patient with His timing. Eventually God lead me to a church that is not linked to Calvary or TCOTWSC. When I attend I don’t feel like its home… yet! I don’t have anyone close yet that would know I am missing if I did not attend. I don’t need it to feel like home right now. What I need to to know is that God has me there for a purpose and I am so excited to see what it is.
You might be wondering, then what is the reason for all of this review… Well its about me expressing to you that if you are considering TCOTWSC, do so with all you have for as long as God allows. Let them care for you as you care for them… TCOTWSC is so very connected to serving God and listening to the Holy Spirit and I am still being amazed.
Let me explain…
As I was attending TCOTWSC I turned in a prayer request card asking for prayers regarding my move and all that I was leaning on God for. In the past 6 months since I moved to Apple Valley I have been deeply overwhelmed three times and each time I was in need of someone close to pray for me. Each time I was overwhelmed I received a call from TCOTWSC asking if I needed prayer! Two of the three times they called it was within the hour and one time my eyes were still wet with tears!
So if by chance you have gotten this far in my long review wanting to know if God is leading you to TCOTWSC, I would have to say that it is most likely that God is directing you there.

People at this church want to build relationship and they really care about you. Teaching is strong and spot on scripture, worship is heartfelt, but could use a few more traditional hymns. Services available in Spanish and English, another plus, and very creative class areas for the children.

Very disappointed in the Valencia Church on the Way. Pastor never greets people. before, during or after service. Asked for a meeting with the Pastor and was met by someone else? Associate Pastor? Very unfriendly … definately not a good example! We have changed churches.

Love it! Just peaceful and very the staff is very welcoming. Every time i go there I feel closer to God. I feel i can talk to him and also love the advises they give to the community. Very helpful and eye opening.

If you are interested in a personal relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, this church is for you. They welcomed our family with open arms. Our three toddlers get excited when we mention church. And our lives have changed since we first started attending ten months ago.
