Christmas 2025 Church Guide: Best 15 Churches Near You Waco,TX

Danny Lemons Awesome God fearing Bible believing/preaching church. A very warm and loving church. They welcome you with open arms. Praise team is awesome and only outdone by Brother Wray Nunns preaching. You can feel the Holy Spirit moving there everytime they meet. Brother Wray is heavily anointed as is evident in the messages he brings.

Laura Daniels You are treated like family. Pastor Wray is very passionate about bringing people to GOD and getting HIS word to everyone. They want people to be spreading the word of GOD.

P. SJ Took my Mother here for Mothers Day because my brother plays the organ here. She really enjoyed herself and so did I. The sermon was wonderful and the Pastor was newly appointed and took the time to come over and shake my Mothers hand. Three of my siblings plus a cousin from Louisiana also attended. Great service overall. Love the atmosphere and the people are so welcoming.

Jennifer P Attended a beautiful memorial at this church. The church interior is gorgeous. Afterwards the church members made a delicious lunch out of the kindness of their hearts. It was so delicious and I would have ordered a gallon of green beans if I could.

Mary G This church is filled with people who love Jesus and love each other. The teaching is sound. I highly recommend it.

Steph I am new to Waco and prefer non-denominational churches. I have met many honorable and kind people here. I started by going to the Single Moms group, which I love. They start back up in February (I think). Great way to meet new people if you are new to the area!

McKenna Merwin Walked up to the entrance and the doors were, in fact, not open. (Five star because I’ve never been and thought I was funny.)

Al Culp Sundays teachers were great. Pastor Ronnie is always so personable and caring. Awesome praise and worship. Friendly congregation.

Bernal Bernal Always open anyone and everyone is welcome beautiful Temple peaceful place to pray and meditate. Brings back memories when I was a young boy going with my grandfather to Sunday services.

Peter Apuyan My wife took me here and told how wonderful this church was and how it was what helped her during her hard times while attending Baylor. It’s a beautiful church and really is unique in that sense. Alot of chruch look a bit too modern but this has a nice touch from an older era. I look forward to one day attending a service here. There are plenty of mass times and a dedicated confession times to attend

Brittany Miller Great church. Great people. Very laid back. People just seem to genuinely want to be a part of each others lives.

Kelly Roberts My 21 year old son and I attended here last week. The people were friendly, a few came over to meet us and one of the pastors asked my son if he could have his phone number so he could pass it on to the college pastor, who was out of town. One of the ladies gave me an invitation to the ladies brunch. The sermon was great as was the music. God bless Acts Church!

XD DASHY XD They block ppl drive ways on Sundays They will crash into ppl cars who live there These ppl need to move that church outta here they even throw down 8 homes so far

Jonathan Eggerman This has been our church home for over 2 years. Amazing worship, Godly teaching. Somehow the staff has a way of making a 3000 member church feel like a 30 member church. They truly want to know you and that leads to growth in Christ.

vik Berkeley Jesus would be ashamed. We are a nonprofit that just reached out to this church to have a one-time rehearsal for a tribute show that were going to be putting on. Within minutes this is the text we received, Shame on Renew Church! "Renew Church here. We are unable to accommodate your request. Thank you! " This is another example of cronyism in a church that is self-serving and is not giving back but only giving back in ways that would make them look good.

LeBleu Michael “Travis” I always love the message and how its given here. I drive from Hewitt every Sunday to refill my Jesus levels.

Janette Hedden Kind pastors and serving church. The Bible is read and the people are friendly

Valerie Gomez I love going to church there if you have never been I suggest you go and give it a try loving and caring people very friendly and very welcoming

Tina Patterson We have only recently begun attending Glory Bell Church in person (a few months now); before that we watched them online for about a year. We are very happy with the church and are beginning to feel like part of the "family" there. We enjoy their community groups and special events. Our grandchild loves the childrens church and special childrens activities. We really feel that the Spirit of the Lord is in this place and the hearts of His people here!

Jessica Burr If you are looking for a church where you can come as you are, you’ve found it. Glory Bell does an amazing job at making you feel like you are where you are meant to be. My husband and I are a mixed couple and it is often hard to find a place where we feel completely welcome, but Glory Bell has definitely welcomed us with open arms. There is no doubt that God is working at Glory Bell and you can feel it as soon as you walk through the doors. Also they have coffee, childcare, great worship, and incredible pastors. Pastors Chuck and Ashley listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit and always deliver timely, relevant messages with the LOVE of Jesus. Pastors Anthony and Erin are always there to answer any question you may have or just to welcome you. Give Glory Bell a try, you won’t regret it!

Kimber Beck Beautiful church. We went here for a Christmas bazaar and found out there was a concert the next night so we bought tickets for that. Enjoyed some lunch at the bazaar. The people in this church were absolutely lovely and the church is beautiful.

Amy Malzac Awesome pumpkin patch every year! Great place to take prom pictures. Wonderful things happen at this church. Caring people.

jeromie miller I love this church, I have been attending cub for a little over 6 years now

Laura Salazar I love this place,because everyone is welcome, you feel the love and fellowship , you can be yourself, pets are allowed, smokers allowed also,just move to the edge, and they have Church buses that have wheel chair access, they come and pick people that need a ride , within a certain area. Just have to dress according to the weather,after all we have service Under the Bridge. Its like one big party to worship God, and some awesome music and guess speakers, plus they serve us brunch before service.

Cory Cooper A spirit filled church with great passion. Their strength is in their pure power and triumphant devotion. They offer earplugs here due to the sheer volume of their worshio.

Taylor Acker I know Im not as accepted as I would like to be but River City felt like home. I hope one day I can contribute and be a valuable part of the community! Hopefully I can be blessed where I can bless others as of right now I have lost my wife in about to be evicted. Im a good worker just fell short but I love the Lord Jesus Christ and would love it another chance to do the Lords work. Thank you River City for being just what I needed. Ill be at recovery group tonight if Im allowed for 6:00 to 7:00. Honestly it was a breath of fresh air I believe that gentlemans name is Brad he prayed with me both Sundays and I went and was more than I deserved. I forgot theres still people like that in the world, I have cut myself off and hermit it so long I lost my wife and lost myself. I fall short daily cuz Im a sinner but I am on the uprise and I do want to be used in a mighty and powerful way. River City if you allow me I will be an awesome contribution to the church in any which way is needed and one day I could tell my story you can overcome addiction You have to have your feet to the fire but it can be done. I would like pastor Chris to know that his message always speaks straight to me like hes talking to me only its weird how that works. Honest to God being here in Waco and going through the situation Im in Ive seen dark side but its wonderful because I know that Jesus Christ is real and came to the cross to suffer for us that we may be cleansed of our sins. What a wonderful gift God gave is only begotten son for us. I need to be reminded of the things I take for granted daily fresh air lots of food and a beautiful wife that no longer wants to be with me cuz Im a bully and a manipulator. Ill spend the rest of my life even if I cant win her back letting her know she was worth it and she will always be my beautiful angel. Honestly I miss people and I miss my family. Im not in a good place right now because Im all alone My health is coming back even though I have slipped and even lied a few times lately but I was on the up and up and just fell short cuz I did not let somebody know that I was tempted. Im still strong and Im still worthy of giving the chance to do the right thing All you have to do is ask of me and most of the time when Im not drinking and drugging Ill be more than happy to do that just by nature. Im not supposed to say if the things that I do for people but as of lately I have given to the poor and I have helped the elderly not to say that makes up for my sins but I do try. I just need a little bit more time to get my spiritual muscles as well as my physical health back and Ill be able to be a mighty force that the Lord can use as a vessel to speak to his people or anyone that wants to turn their lives around and not just act like a Christian but walk like a Christian. Im so sad and Ive cried so much theres no more tears to cry my wife left me thats the lowest that you can get Im so terribly heartbroken this last 6 months to a year have been like my own living hell. I actually believe that I saw demons in the devil that sounds crazy but if it happened to you you would know it. Its not a fun place to be but also it let me know that God has already won this battle there is none higher than him thats what I kept on telling myself in bed watching my wife as I thought that she was being taken over by some kind of sleep demon. Its a horrible way to think of your wife especially for me cuz I do love my queen. Thats all I got for now. Im very transparent open and will not lie anybody can ask me anything and Ill be more than happy to tell him If anybody wants to know my story of trials and tribulations and the way not to live just ask me but I do have hope and inspiration today and Im so grateful for what has happened. I just hope and pray I can get a job and be used for the glory of God and not myself and Ill be more than happy. Me and my wife dont have any children and that could be due to me not holding down a job so we could have insurance and go to the fertility clinic. Thank you

April Sus Beautiful church. I attended a preaching conference here. Everyone was friendly.

Kevin Wang Gorgeous Baptist church in Waco downtown area

Kristin Bednarz I recently photographed a nuptial mass at St. Louis Catholic Church and was awestruck at how beautiful it was! Ive attended mass here before when I was visiting Waco, but this was the first wedding I photographed there. The space is perfect for the sacrament of marriage and the priest blessed everyone that day who got to witness. From the stained glass, to the gorgeous architecture, it set my eye on what matters, which is the Holy Trinity. Blessed to have been a part of such a wonderful wedding weekend!

Andrea Jones This church helped me reconcile with my Catholic Faith. You can feel the presence of Christ when you walk through the doors. Father Ryan and Father Chris are fantastic spiritual guides and lead our parish with love.
