When to go

About

• kimberly lujan★★★★★2 months ago

  North West has truly become a place I love attending. From the moment you walk in, everyone is welcoming, friendly, and inviting, making you feel like family. One thing I especially love is their Wednesday Bible study — it’s a must! You get the opportunity to learn more about God’s word in a deeper way, and I love that the kids can be involved too. They have a great play area and such a family-friendly environment that makes bringing children easy and enjoyable. I also appreciate that they are Bible-based and stay centered on God’s word. If you're looking for a church that feels warm, encouraging, and family-focused, I definitely recommend North West!

  Joseph Habedank was there on 18 June 2026 at 7p.m. If you don't know who he is, LOOK HIM UP! If you KNOW who he is and you were not there, you missed an AWESOME performance and the 'Meet & Greet' at the end. I met him in person and had a wonderful conversation with him at another event in Visalia, CA, 3 years ago. He's a regular, down to earth, God fearing man, husband, and (going to be) father. Look him up, listen to his music. You'll feel so blessed!!

  This was our second visit to North West Church. Lead Pastor Wil Stoll is absolutely amazing. His knowledge and presentation is ALWAYS is some of the best we have ever experienced. He includes history, biblical reference, promotes personal application, and in our opinion is a true disciple of The Lord. We are definitely looking forward to strengthening our connection to North West Church in Fresno, CA. We love that the Archived Sermons are available online.

  This church is the best church I've ever been to. This church brought me so much closer to the Lord than I have ever been. Thank you to pastor David Lopez and Pastor Will Stoll. The youth's ministry is fantastic and I encourage everyone reading reviews to come and get closer to our God.

  Came here today for the first time because my aunt wanted to try a new church, mind you I have a home church I was just supporting her. They offered the family room to watch services i declined with my 7 month year old daughter who does WELL at our church. She made a few noises and I had someone come up to me offering the family room again. I declined, I was making my daughter a bottle and she made a few more nosies and a women came up to me saying let me take you to the family room, if I wanted to watch church on a screen I could’ve stayed home, my aunt and I decided to leave. I got VERY uncomfortable. The pastor even made a remark about there being “rattles” and if so to put them away. Definitely will not be returning somewhere where if a baby makes a few noises we car be in the main sanctuary.

  We were SO blessed to be able to be part of the congregation today. We were visiting family from out of town who took us to 9am service and we quickly decided if we lived in Fresno again - we'd be making this church home. Such an incredible message today. Pastor on point. What does being a true citizen of heaven look like? Worship team also brought loving God to life. Serving God and using the talents He gave them to serve others. Lifting His Name HIGH 🤍 Today was SO GOOD. Thank you North West Church! 🫶✝️

  I love love NW Church. I raised my kids and family there when they were young. They had so much to offer… From woman’s workshops, The summer fun in the sun programs for the week! And Bible study groups…and so many more programs to suit all of your needs! I remember applying over and over for my dream Job at a Credit Union, to the point of driving the HR lady crazy for 3 months straight… Not my proudest moments…. And during the end of one of Pastor stoll’s sermons , He said if any of you need us to pray over you, come up to the front and kneel in front of God… So I did! And the following week I landed the Bank Job of my dreams. I miss my church dearly, due to moving to Lake Isabella.. But thank Goodness I watch faithfully Online every Sunday… .So that being said, if your looking for a message from God every week, I suggest you go take a look at Northwest church for yourself, and see what a honest, beautiful church it truly is! God Bless Northwest Church. And Thank you to Pastor Stoll, and all of the team!

  Today on September 21,2025 I went to the 9:00 am service. I have attended the last 3 weeks Sunday service. Today I took my 23 year old daughter and my 4 year old grandson who is autistic. She was really looking forward to attending since she’s been so tired and stressed with having an exhausting life. Taking care of her son is very challenging but she wouldn’t change anything about him. My 26 year old son also went with his 4 year old son my husband and my 12 year old grandson. I felt a little uncomfortable when we got there bc I did feel pressure with the greeters directing us to day care but it’s not for my grandson who will not be without his mother. When we sat down one of the ushers did tell my son that if my grandson is to loud we’ll be asked to go to family room which my son said he’s ok he’s not being loud just give him a chance. But when my autistic grandson made two babble noises who can’t speak he immediately jumped and asked my daughter to follow him. So I followed as well. I was really upset n disappointed that he seemed kind of angry and directed us to the family room n said we have to understand people lives are at stake. My daughter didn’t was upset bc he only made 2 quiet babbles n stopped. I can understand if he continued or became to loud we would of waked out. But he doesn’t no that my daughter was there for the same reason he said others r there for. To learn about our father to feel loved and that things aren’t hopeless. She also has a hard life n he definitely didn’t make her fill welcomed. I don’t think this will be our church home and I wish better luck for others. But for us we left sad n hurt

  I love my church. We have a great community and I was able to quickly meet so many wonderful people. I especially want to celebrate the great community of men who support each other.

  We went to Northwest Church for 11 years. During that time it was very cliquish We moved away for 3 years. We came for a visit and decided to go back to Northwest Church to see if it was the same. They have done so many changes to that church and my opinion not for the better. They added a cafe in the old sanctuary. And a scripture that came to mind was Matthew 21:12-13, where Jesus chased out the money changers. Setting in the old sanctuary, for a quieter church service viewing the worship music they we’re playing and singing on a screen was all show. It lacked God’s presence. Everything at the church lacked God’s presence it was all empty. We were very disappointed in the direction that the church has taken. The people are still very cliquish stand offish and aren’t welcoming to people they do not know.

  Getting together with other believers, fills my heart with joy and acceptance.Pastor Will Stoll’s message restores my purpose by Reading God‘s word every day with the Holy Spirit guidance.

• Mari Barragan★☆☆☆☆2 years ago

  I really loved the children's ministry but really disliked the counseling services. I was never heard, I was belittled and since I didn't want to stay with my husband, completely ignored me and just stopped services. I won't mention names, but I had a horrible experience and do not recommend.

  This church is amazing! I have my own home church but I will make this my 2nd home church. The people made me feel welcome and the sermon was beautiful and I felt God's presence. Also it was my first time going back to church since the pandemic started and the Pastor came up to me and shook my hand and welcomed me with open arms it was awesome!

• Alita Zegers★★★★★a year ago

  I started watching the service during covid. I have continued to watch. I finally went to a fundraiser dinner last nite. The people were very nice. I enjoy pastor Stolls weekly teaching.

• Yolanda Walker★☆☆☆☆4 years ago

  The first thing I noticed was disproportion of cultural diversity at this church. The service was run very robotic/routine with the pastor reading from PowerPoint cue slides the entire service with lack of audience connection and enthusiasm. My opinion, the sermon delivery lacked a Spirit relatedness and it was complacent. The choir entertainment was good. Thank you for the opportunity to visit this church but unfortunately, I am not interested in coming back or promote referrals to this church. Improvement is need.

  My name is Mini. We've been coming to this church for a few months now. Today while at the cafe with my family drinking drinks a Man and 3 others behind him approached my son and his friend both under the age 17 and accused them of using profanilty. I approached the man and asked him what he was doing and he said they are using profanity and there are no drinks allowed in the kid area Mind you we are the only mexicans in this cafe. After that the girl behind the cafe walked by us into the kid area and walked back to the counter turned and gave me a dirty look. I feel like we were targeted for our color this is the first time in the cafe. I'm embarrassed that my son had to experience that and his friend considering we just invited her. Racism is not of God and this is what it felt like. We had to leave the cafe it was so uncomfortable for us. We got looks from several members. When I asked my son what happened in there he said a couple went in the kid area with their son and the lady was giving them dirty looks and walked out within a few minutes. Those are the first people to look at us and turn away with a bothered look.

  Just your average mega church, really sweet people here, coffee and breakfast treats at the front before you walk into service, beautiful singers, the sermons are not boring, lots of seating!! :))

• Becca Hockemier★★★★★2 years ago

  I have been attending Northwest Church for 2 years now and continue to love it. There are so many ways to get connected and Pastor Will preaches on the Word of God not just popular opinion.

• Deanna Dunkle★★★★★a year ago

  This is the most welcoming church I’ve ever been to. The whole staff and congregation are wonderful.
