This church has excellent exegetical preaching. The two pastors, who rotate which service they're preaching at, do a remarkable job explaining Biblical passages in very careful detail. At the same time, their sermons encourage a whole-hearted application of Biblical truth to daily life. The congregation seems less obviously wealthy than some other Bay Area churches. There is a good mix of older and younger people, and, it seems, people of very different walks of life.
Many students attend the church.
Perhaps that sounds basic, but I have found some sermons with a stronger emphasis and theology and conceptual understanding. There is an element of this too, of course, but I find the practical applications personally helpful as the abstract is more of my natural inclination. The church is set up such that there is not a senior pastor, but rather many pastors of various segments of church life, most of whom rotate through the preaching role in the service. The church also uses a variety of music with both hymns and more contemporary choruses, which I appreciate. The congregation is larger than I am accustomed to, with two services of a few hundred each but it has a smaller feel to it than some large churches I have attended.
