My son just graduated from college and is moving to San Jose CA from North Carolina to work at Silicon Valley. He is a believer in Christ and would like to find a Bible-believing church as soon as he can after moving. He doesn't know anyone there so he's starting his new life at ground zero. Anyone know of a good church in the San Jose area?
Mission San Jose in Fremont.
Do you know the way to San Jose?....................
Any of the Calvary Chapels, especially an up-and-coming one. These guys teach the Bible, verse-by-verse, and are heavily into discernment of all the weird winds of doctrine we are seeing nowadays. Solid. And I am not even Calvary Chapel myself; I just admire their pace.
U have no persnal experience with churches in the San Jose area but I listen to radio station KFAX a Christian radio station in San Francisco very regularly and found their listings of Bible Believing Churches in the area
http://www.kfax.com/ChurchDirectory/
Hope this is of some help.
I was going to recommend a CC. They are pretty solid.
Reformed or Arminian?
If Reformed (hard to find
a real one),
Providence Bible Church
709 Lakewood Dr
Sunnyvale, CA 94089
(408) 734-2297
When in doubt, go to the nearest Calvary Chapel. Solid bible teaching, committed Christians and none of that liberal feel good doctrine.
It’s always a good place to start. And if you like it, it is always a good place to put down roots.
i’m glad your son is looking for a church that preaches the bible. too often there are people who attend mega churches just for the fun activities and social events.
Peace Lutheran or Apostles Lutheran. WELS affiliated-I joined a local WELS church about two years ago. Best discovery of my life. Uncompromisingly Bible based!

Martin can put this out to the Silicon Valley Ping List. You’ll find lots of FRiend recommendations from that group.
what do you mean by ‘good’?
well brother, since you ask...in the heart of san jose, you won’t find a more humble, self built church than ours:
Samoan Community Church
1270 Lucretia Ave.
San Jose, CA
Pastor Darcy Faiaipau
SCAOGSecretary@gmail.com
(408)-289-9300
warning: it’s not that easy to find.
I used to love Christ the King in Campbell. Very alive.

South Bay Church is a biblical, mission-focused church in San Jose. It’s 5 years old, and they recently started another campus in Sunnyvale. Congregation is very strong in your son’s age demographic, though all ages attend.
Saratoga federated church in Saratoga. Gospel spoken there.
I’m not familiar with the are but there is an OPC(Orthodox Presbyterian Church) congregation there-
