She directed me to Rachel, who is also very very helpful and tried to do everything that she could to help me with the Home cruise I was looking for received a phone call from Kylie this morning. Also I Diana was very very helpful and helped me so much, a Home crew that would best fit me Thank you, Mountain View Church, for being there for me and all of the Santan valley communities.

Love this church. Because we go through the bible book by book, line by line, nothing is missed…read more We do the Old Testament on Thursday night and New Testament on Sunday morning. I have been a Christian for 50 years and I have had good pastors during that time, but Pastor Rob's teaching has been my favorite for over 20 years. God's word is living and sometimes it hits a spot that I need some change in and I say "ouch" but Rob's delivery has always been in love and usually sprinkled with a lot of humor. A pastor that walks his walk and loves his flock. Love my church family.

I started going because my friend loves it and her brother is part of the band. I remember when we were younger, seeing her brother play guitar and sing. It's very cool to see him perform on a church stage now. Personal ties aside, let's talk aesthetics. I know that's not the most important thing, but it's part of what drew me in after the kind of churches I remember as a kid. My first impression was the coffee bar. It's a really nice touch. The second thing that hit me was the size. The building is in an industrial area and has a sort of brewery feel to it, and I love that. It's bright and airy and very open. The third thing I loved was the bathrooms. In my youth, it was a three stall bathroom with very limited space and air. These bathrooms are massive- tons of stalls, sinks, mirrors. They smell clean and you can still hear the sermon and music through the extra speakers in there so you don't miss anything. The decor. Simple and minimalist but a nice, classy touch. Oh and plenty of parking (always a plus) and easy to get to. On to more important things. I've now participated in an online/Zoom group (my first Restoration event where I got to virtually meet a few members.) I did a wine/succulent ladies night on a Friday evening. I attended a midweek "relationship round table" event (where refreshments were provided even though it was a free event!) I've watched a few sermons online. And finally on Easter, I attended my first in-person service. (I call them sermons but they have a better term for it that doesn't sound as stuffy. Can't recall what it is.) What's great is that I got to attend all these other no-pressure events and get to meet people, feel the vibe, and check out the space before I ever attended a Sunday service. I immediately felt drawn to Restoration and comfortable. I even got my boyfriend to go with me on Easter. We've been dating since 2016 and have never gone to a church service together until last week. The fact that he was willing to come along and enjoyed himself spoke volumes. Pastors Kate and Kurt remembered me despite having only briefly met me at one or two of the events I attended. They are very engaging and talk about things in a way that gets me to see things in a new light. It's not nearly as restrictive and boring as I recall church being as a kid. (I attended Catholic Churches where my one grandma gave me candy to keep me awake. Armenian churches with my other grandma where I'd hide in the bathroom because I didn't have any friends and didn't know the language. Lutheran churches that I found dull and repetitive. And some other one where people spoke in tongues. I've been around lol) I was baptized catholic, confirmed Lutheran, and have never really found a church I fell in love with until now. My friend said she sometimes isn't able to get down there because, life. I was going to only go when she goes but I find myself feeling inspired to go in person on my own. I don't have kids but find it pretty nice that they have ALL sorts of kid groups and activities to keep kids engaged while the service is going on. (Really wish I had that kind of experience growing up, to engage me in Gods word, rather than being bated with candy and doughnuts.) I'm not big into music at churches but I found myself enjoying most of what I heard. There's no pressure to sing along (thank God) so I don't feel awkward standing there, just enjoying the music- not singing, not swaying. I literally just stand there. But because of the concert feel it has with the dimmed lights, I don't have to worry about sticking out like a sore thumb. I didn't have to raise my hand to let everyone know I'm new. They have options for people who ARE new to connect in a relaxed environment. Communion is also done in that manner, so I don't feel any pressure to partake if I'm not ready (they have a separate area to go up and take communion if/when you're ready during any point in the service.) And offering isn't a plate passed around while people stare at you, waiting to drop money in (that's how it was when I was young.) They have multiple options to give back and none of them put you on the spot. There's seriously so many things I've loved already and that's after only a few in person events and ONE service. I know it won't be for everyone and many people still love a lot of traditional aspects of other churches. But Restoration got me (and my bf!) to come in after not having gone to a church since 2007. I'd say that's pretty spectacular.

We moved to Escondido from across the country. Being 2200 miles away from family, friends, our…read morechurch, our community and starting life over was an adventure to say the least. We were deeply involved with our church in the Midwest, multiple ministries, growth groups and outreaches. We had grown very close with our church family. Leaving that church community was hard. We were determined to find a church community in town that we would feel comfortable in, could get involved, grow spiritually, learn the word and hopefully meet new friends that we could eventually call our church family here in California. Now there are many churches in Escondido and the surrounding areas and we tried a lot of them. Some were good, some weren't, some were big and some were small but we just couldn't find the one that fit just right. Several of our friends were attending the Orchard and had invited us to join them and give this church a try. Meh..... what's one more to tick off in what felt like our endless list? One service and we were home. No joke. Assad teaches the Bible, his sermons are to the point and relatable. I love that they have a handout each week with updates and fill in the blanks for following along with sermon notes. They really make it easy for you to go home and continue your study throughout the week. The people are so friendly too! Assad and his wife Summer are so welcoming, all of the volunteers are outgoing without being pushy. Jan has a gift for remembering your name even after meeting you just once so you will automatically feel like part of the family on your second visit. The church has multiple growth groups/Life groups so if you'd like to be connected that way there are plenty of options. There are children's classes and a youth group. Multiple ministries and outreaches you can be involved in. Don't worry though, you can take your time and get comfortable, no one will harass you! If you are looking for a community of people who love the Lord, believe in the Bible and preach from it, who think you are valuable, generally care for you and not see you as just a seat filler then this place just might be the perfect fit for you.
