I have never felt as comfortable in a church as I do at Collective…read more I didn't grow up in the church. I first started attending the church my boyfriend at the time went to and never really connected with the message, worship, or community. Once I went to college at PLNU in San Diego, I was on a mission to find a home church. None of the churches I visited in my first 3 years felt like home. Some were too big which made me feel like a number rather than a person. Some focused too much on their appearance, whether that be everyone looking like hipsters or the worship feeling too rehearsed and showy. Others, I just couldn't relate to the messages. I guess I'm picky, but I didn't want to pick a church for the convince of it. I want to genuinely feel at home with God and my community at a church, and I get that at Collective San Diego. The Pastors at Collective, Anthony and Lindsay, pour their heart and soul into everything they do. Anthony's messages are so relatable, fun, and real. I don't think I have ever walked out of that building not feeling inspired and motivated to live my best life for Jesus. Sometimes I listen to the messages again on the podcast for a mid week refresher (they are that good). Lindsay's worship is so authentic, beautiful, and passionate. Every time she sings I swear I get chills. The vibe of the building really allows for me to open up during worship which has always been a struggle for me. Another thing I love about Collective San Diego is that it's only two years old, yet they have given back sooo much to the community. No one gets a pay check so that means all the money that we give goes directly into the community and God's Kingdom. I have been with the church for almost two years and the members and pastors are some of my closest friends. That's what church should be about, a community that loves each other and is constantly working to give back to God's Kingdom! Not to mention, they also have coffee and donuts every Sunday!

GBC is a Reformed Baptist church that adheres to the London Baptist Confession 1689. The elders…read moreexegetically preach from either the NASB or ESV. The music is a good mix of theologically-sound hymns and contemporary songs. The congregation is made up of friendly people of all ages, stages in life, and ethnicities. There are opportunities to fellowship through monthly meals, Bible studies, community groups, and different outreach ministries. The Lord's Day usually looks like this: morning service, fellowship break, prayer meeting/Sunday school. The exceptions are second Sunday there is usual morning service, fellowship break, and an evening service; and on the last Sunday, there is a fellowship meal after the morning service. The Lord's Supper is observed every week, with it being observed in the evening service on the second Sunday. GBC is a doctrinally-sound and Christ-centered Church.

Pastor Matt's messages are Holy Spirit led, well thought out and easy to apply to your life. After church Pastor Matt prayed for me about my upcoming move, and i definitely know that was some Holy Spirit prayer because i could literally sense the fear lifting off and peace flowing into my heart. Only Holy Spirit can do that! I've lived in SD for about 5 months now and being able to go to this church is a highlight of the week for me! Everyone is so friendly, caring and kind. They truly make you feel like family! They treat everyone with so much love and respect. if you want a solid, friendly, family oriented church with NO drama, where you will grow in your faith and your life, come visit Canyons, you won't regret it!

Sunday Assembly is a non-religious community that meets…read morethe third Sunday of the month at 11:00am, except for December when they do a special Solstice Celebration event on a different day. Two members of my family have limited physical mobility and the building the assembly meets at (Banker's Hill Club) is fully accessible. I'm also in a mixed faith marriage (atheist and Christian) so this is a legitimate community my whole family (and extended family when they visit) can be a part of since there's zero religion or doctrine. There's a reading/poem, usually a science lesson, and people in the seats share what's new in their lives. There's also singing and snacks/coffee. Even though the once a month assembly is the main deal, I enjoy a lot of the Meetup events: restaurants and service projects and game nights. When I was first attending, I was getting to know some of the people who founded this assembly and they talked about how one sign of a healthy community is that a person would have at least one person they could call at 2am in an emergency. So this community is set up so people can find others and build those relationships. Religious people get this from church and other folks get that from clubs. Sunday Assembly is trying to provide that for everyone else.

The Sunday I went, there were about 50-75 people, dressed casually. The weather was hot and some fans were running in the hall. When I first walked in, a man was playing guitar through an amplifier that was turned up really LOUD (too loud, if you ask me). After the music, an instructor from UCSD gave a visual presentation on "Land of the Lemurs." It was different, to say the least. Sunday Assembly also puts on events such as Sandwich Saturdays where the homeless are given food. In addition, there are walks in different parts of the county, including Batiquitos Lagoon Trail and Border Field State Park. The main downside, for me, were the horrible acoustics in the hall, which has bare walls with no padding whatsoever. The sound just bounces off the walls and goes everywhere. I am hard-of-hearing and wear hearing aids and do not hear well in halls or rooms like this. Note: There is no phone number listed for this church.

I just became a member, and know that my life, and the lives of those around me will greatly benefit from it. This creed-less faith may just be what you are looking for if you feel like you want a greater sense of community, a non hypocritical church, or an interesting lecture to attend on Sunday mornings.
