God Bless you, All. I want to mention..... I needed to Reply back that I don't know if the Pastor knows the Serious Severity of his decision for me to "Take a Break", this year. But, I Know God Allowed it. It was Devastating and Tbh, Idk if I will ever Get over it. It Caused Great Harm. The Sabotoge was so Great. But, I Know Jesus is More Powerful than the Sabotoge and Witchcraft, Overall. Lots of people were Hurt by the Pastor and Leadership. People who Genuinely Loved this Church and wanted to Be Here & Grow in Christ. I Shared my sins and Vulnerabilities, coz I Needed Help. . . For them to be used Against me..... was ( I don't have the words for it.) I Know the Stuff I share Here is Embarrassing. But, it's Real. It's TMI + Personal. But, this is my Story. And, what I Experienced. But, God will Get the Glory when He Restores and Fixes Everything, in Jesus' Name, Amen! As He is a God of Miracles, the Supernatural, and Restoration. And, I Do Believe in Miracles. It wasn't ok that the Pastor Knew I was gong through DV and that I was Separated through the Holidays.... And, instead of Offering Any Support or Connection with the people at Church...(And, I Just GOT Through the Holidays....which was Really Hard, Btw) & so, After the Holidays... Early Jan....that was when he Directed me to go to Therapy and to "Take a Break", from Church. Note: This Church Helped me Over the years, as I tuned in~ online, while being in DV, Narcissistic Abuse ... as it got Worst over the years. . In 2024, at this Point, it was the Only thing that got me Up + Out of Bed. I Trusted them, with my Life. And, Soul. Not being Able to go to Church Tk, where I gleaned from, was Devastating and Took a Major Hit, in my Life. But, I Know Rejection is God's Protection. And, Therapy? For a Church that Casts out demons..... Lols. Ok. But, I Know it's because he didn't Know how to Help me. I wasn't asking for Much...Just Empathy. ( Note: I Took my Recovery Journey Srsly. And, have been going for Almost 4 years...since 2020... Plus doing my doing my Research, as I was Fighting for my Life Against Narc Abuse, Gaslighting and Manipulation. I Fought so Hard to be Here, at this Church, over the Years, Admist Abuse... + Spiritual Warfare. I don't Believe he or the Other Leaders , or whomever Read my Prayers on their Website, Understood, How Hard I Already it. The Aftermath of what Happened this year, Has been Devastating...despite, the HUGE Victory Had, in 2024. No Accountability or Reconciliation had taken place, Yet. And, it's Been a year. Unfortunately, None with the others who were Hurt/Harmed by this Church (who were Here Before me + didn't Speak up) were Taken as Well. . And, it Already has been a couple of years, since they Left.... * So, this Church Culture Equip the Saints & 'Send people Out', through the Fire Academy Delieverance Training, which is Very Good. But, I Also Noticed there IS a High Turn over rate. When I First spoke up Earlier, this year, & Exposed things, there had been Lots of Image Control, which is....Manipulation. The Worship is very Sincere. But, I also don't think the Pastor's wife, really Knew what was going on....if she was Allowed to Read my Reviews, ....in the Beginning. Note: I've Already Experienced Spiritual Abuse, in a Previous Cult Experience, Prior. . . on my way Trying to Find Jesus in the Church...... In Religious cults, when the Church or Leadership is called out. . There is More Serving, more 'Good' Religious deeds, Great Preaching, Anointed Worship to Not Look like there's a Problem, or that they are not in the Wrong. It's Manipulation, when No Accountability is Taken. They're Devoted and On Fire, Yes. But, there Still Needs to Be Accountability... (Please Note: to the Unbelievers + Skeptics Out There, Reading..... This Experience wasn't & Isn't God because ***** God is LOVE. God is SAFE. And, God is GOOD. ...Despite, the Bad. God is NOT Control. Control is Manipulation & Witchcraft...) My Intentions for Exposure, even at the Expense of having to Share Personal detail, is for Accountability. I Truly had a Love for this Church. ...... So, the Damage has Been done. Although, I will Not Limit God/Jesus. As He's Still on the Throne. But, It's going to Take a HUGE Miracle. I Hope God will Truly Have His Way Here, concerning All This, as This Church was one of the Best. I Wish Everyone well..... JESUS Wins. And, It is Finished. God Bless you, Daughter of the King Ps) I don't Appreciate whoever is praying delieverance on me, making me Sneeze. I don't know your Intentions, nor do you have my Trust. I don't Appreciate you Entering my Sphere. What is Needed is Reconciliation, not Power Plays. God Bless you Edit: Again, I don't Like whomever Prayed for me to Sneeze ...After I Stated my Boundary, Here.. that really Upset me. I'm gonna Need more than that to Repair my Entire Life, of the damages done. Note: Ppl Laughing, Gossiping at This. God has a way of Turning Tables. read more

I'm not one to do this but for complete closure, I feel it's the right thing to do, to help others. Before I write anything, I just want to say, a lot of 1 star reviews somehow disappeared from other people. I'm unsure if the business can delete them or not...but it's rather strange to me. And pastor ben justifies and defends himself along with low key making people sound like victims in responses, just to prepare you. I came here for several years. This place used to be more free and more joyful. I don't want to call it a church. When I was broken, I wasn't encouraged. I was more damaged after I went for council, most of the time. I've noticed leadership not being inclusive. I did take it to pastors and they didn't seem to care. More of the main reasonings for this, is not that. It's how the church is being led. there's a ton of pride and manipulation here. They want you to serve...A lot. they don't believe in getting burnt out and they don't care where you serve-even if it's not your desired or gifted area. If you have a problem, they tell you not to be a victim, give you a high 5, let you know you're a champion and send you on your way. There's a lot of gossip, and you can get tainted very easy here. (There are some Super amazing people I have met, but it's a remnant) Ben also didn't like me going to him if I needed help about any interpersonal advice. quick story- When we were on a mission trip, I was struggling. I've been doing missions for 7 years at the time and it was nearing the end of the trip. Ben gave every person on the trip an opportunity to share a word/testimony to the crowd (multiple people got more than 1 opportunity). There was a day I found out my aunt was dying in the hospital/ and actually passed. So for morning prayer, I stayed in my room, prayed, and made myself ready for the bus. Excited, that maybe I had an opportunity, despite the situation. I was down in the hotel lobby encouraging myself in the Lord when he tapped my shoulder and publicly humiliated me in front of everyone in the lobby, telling me i should've been at prayer and there's no excuse for me not to be there, and I have rejection issues and if I don't get rid of them it would Damage my future marriage, and not to be a victim. And that if I wanted a microphone that bad, I wasn't ready for it. (That wasn't why I was sad, it was my aunt and the unfairness and how I was being treated vs others. Also with his pride) From that moment I wanted to leave TK but I was under a delusion that TK was the best in SD. (I'm not originally from SD) TK made it seem like they were the best church around. I stayed, and forgave, it was hard. I saw pastor Ben not really caring about needs. We went to him with troubles that an elder was being rude and he didn't ever have a sit down convo with us and that elder. I Moved on and forgave..again. I went to an elder once, I was sick & he didn't want to pray over me, he was looking around for someone else to pray for me. I pleaded with him and reminded him were supposed to go to elders when sick. He prayed, begrudgingly. We asked permission to have our wedding there. A week beforehand, I really had my tipping point of the pride in the sermons. I approached a pastor and, again, public humiliation from the pastors and I was the wrong one. God ended up exposing the leadership and leading us to leave after ben gossiped about us after the wedding. (We wouldn't have had the wedding there if we knew God was leading us out) -also my husband had a long call with him where he was consistently blame shifting and pointing fingers at us. Later, Ben blocked me and my husband and refused to get together and talk things through or take any accountability for his actions. I am no longer under the control and manipulation of the religious spirit. I cherish the good memories I had, but unfortunately all of this outweighs the good times because character and love is everything. Also, this is just a tidbit of my story. I hope to reconcile & repentance happens & unity. That's my heart Blessings read more

This church helped me overcome the witchcraft stuff I had gotten into and for the last almost 4 years they have been there counseling me through everything in my life. I had anger, regrets, resentment, a drinking habit, a past in voodoo and tarot cards, and couldn't seem to keep my relationships. I didn't hide anything and brought it all to Pastor Ben and with a smile and God given wisdom and knowledge he has coached me to the point that I am unrecognizable. I have witnessed miracles at this church so much that I got mad that I had bad knees at 22 from wrestling and commanded my knees to be healed and it was so!! I drive from Long Beach to San Diego as often as possible just to be around a miracle working church like this. Thank you Tsidkenu and Pastor Ben, you have changed my life for the rest of my life. read more

Church Tsidkenu - Pastor Art Montgomery, Demon Slayer - Churches Near Me - San Diego, California

Amazing place to worship fellowship and experience the presence of God. You want to grow and walk into your calling this is the great place

A Loving Warning to the Church After years of involvement, my wife and I sadly witnessed spiritual abuse and manipulation within the leadership of this church, which caused us deep hurt. We're not sharing this out of bitterness, but out of sincere love and concern for others--hoping to protect those seeking a healthy church and to call the leadership to repentance and accountability. I hesitated to write this for nearly six months, but I believe it's important to speak up when there's harm in the Body of Christ. Scripture tells us to expose the works of darkness--not to shame, but to protect and bring things into the light for healing I first attended this church from 2017 to 2024, with a break from 2019 to 2022. In the beginning, I genuinely believe Pastor Ben Wisan started the church with good intentions. However, over time, pride and lack of accountability took root. Sadly, I no longer see it functioning as a biblical church but rather as a gathering shaped more by control than by Christ. No accountability There is no real accountability for leadership. Pastor Ben's "spiritual covering" consists of books he reads, and while he claims to consult elders, there's no formal elder board, church board, or congregational voting. In practice, he operates without checks and balances. Gaslighting, manipulation & jezebel tactics In 2024, I spent significant time around Pastor Ben during several mission trips, including one abroad. It was during this time I began to see the subtle manipulation and gaslighting that many others, including my wife and I, experienced. When we brought concerns to leadership--often involving actions of other leaders--we were dismissed, blamed, or accused of being "victims," even though we approached situations with forgiveness and a desire for resolution. pastor gossiping and slandering It hurt when Pastor Ben began to gossip and spread false stories about us to close friends in the church. This was done in a polished, spiritual-sounding manner, but beneath the surface, it was gossip and slander. He even went on to publicly accuse us of the very things he was doing--bearing false witness and undermining our character(the devils job as described in John 10...the accuser of the brethren). I now know more than 20 people who've experienced similar spiritual trauma under this leadership and are still healing. My wife and I got married at this church. But just weeks later, God began exposing what had been happening behind the scenes, and the mistreatment worsened when we attempted to address things biblically. Pastor Ben responded not with compassion but with harshness, accusations, and a refusal to listen. Despite years of attendance, he never truly got to know us, never sought a relationship, and only offered surface-level interactions like a high-five in the hallway. I expect this post may be met with defensiveness or attempts to discredit what I've shared. That's been the pattern. We are now planted in a healthy, Spirit-filled church and are growing and healing. I write this only because I care deeply about those still being harmed and deceived--and I hope and pray for repentance and true freedom for this church. These are some wonderful church options in town where Jesus is truly glorified, including: The Rock Church Faith Chapel Red Seal The Flood Jesus Culture Skyline Church ...and many more. I strongly encourage anyone reading this to never attend this church. Skip the trauma and the heartache and go find another church that is actually healthy, because there are multiple healthy churches around San Diego but sadly it is not at Church Tsidkenu God bless you and I pray that this church repents for all their pride and sinful ways and then God will exalt them and bless them. I love all you guys and hope this brings healing as the Lord guides you through the process. I pray that God will lead you dear reader and guide you to where you are supposed to be under safe care in Jesus name read more

This is a genuine community of believers that really aim to help each other grow closer to God. It may not be for everyone, but as a worship leader to over 7 different ministries, the quality is hard to find anywhere else, even after living in 2 other states in the South. I highly recommend you try it! read more

Idiots, liars, and thieves, OH MY! Pastor preached on Mt. 13 without even reading the passage himself. If people actually had Bibles and were following along they would catch his blatant errors. Major spirit of confusion in this church since there's no foundation in the Word of God. Further, they took up a collection for me then gave it to someone else. Deliverance team is severely lacking in training. They actually did much more harm than good. SCARY. Errant teaching, spirit of confusion, no foundation in the Word, AND abusing funds? Let's just say I won't be gnashing my teeth along with these fools. All good reviews came from Christians still drinking milk--they're not mature enough to have any real discernment. read more

This church has absolutely changed my relationship with my faith. For years I was catholic and was losing that deep connection with my faith. After going the first time and getting prayer from Pastor Ben I saw a huge difference in myself. This church has filled me with the Holy Spirit and progressed me forward in my walk with God. Thank you. read more

I met these lovely people with their pastors in Fresno CA. We had heard wonderful things about them, knowing they were located in San Diego. The training was excellent; Inner Healing-Sozo, Deliverance and a fresh and new way that brings life and assurance to the reciprocate. Any lies that were lingering that God wasn't there and didn't care are washed away, step-by-step during the Deliverance Prayer. I volunteered and participated in this wonderful experience. I felt happy and lighter. I was smiling more and enjoyed every moment of my day with them. Reviewing the step-by-step teaching aligned with scripture. There were many other teachings that strengthened our relationship with the word of God and our cherished relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ. Most of them at times were on the streets, loving the people, praying for them and many receiving Christ for the first time and received heals. Their love for the homeless is unprecedented. We drive by and we say a prayer for them, but they take their hands,and love them as Christ did in the Bible. Salvation, HEALING & Deliverance and feeding the hungry. I hope to reconnect with their dedicated pastors and these loving servants-congregation. Sincerely Blessed Ms Kathy read more

I give church Tsidkenu 5 out of 5 stars. The Holy Spirit is there. They have powerful teachings and prayer! Monday night they have a class that is called Fire Academy and it has step by step teachings on how to be an Evanglist. Wednesday night service . Thursday night outreach. Sunday church service from 10am-1:00pm and once a month a family potluck. Family filled church. Lots of fellowship! Lots of intercession. Lots of growth. I have only been growing in my walk with Jesus since I have been coming here. Everyone is super friendly and you can come as you are and there is no judging. We love everyone. Come test the fruit and see for yourself. read more

Today I finally went to church with my husband , wasn't too sure but experience going with him has not been good . But for some reason and ( I know) I told him I would go to church with him. Get to church and everyone is worshiping, praising God , then it's time for the Pastor .... (Don't ever judge a pastor of his singing!) ... the message was about Marriage.... Never found a pastor that gets me!!! I wanted to ask him for his autograph... the hole time at church I'm elbowing my husband asking him are you writing it down.. my husbands bible is highlighted through all his book and u can tell what he doesn't study.... He can use his highlights now, excited for next week . I hope it's part 2 read more

Plenty of parking. The aesthetics inside are nice. The worship music was awesome and last but definitely not least, the people were warm and friendly. Definitely lifts the spirit. read more

This Church goes out weekly to pray for the people. First time I went out with them Pastor Ben and I helped a women in a wheel chair walk ten steps. She had not walked in ten years. I like that they are out there in the streets doing what we should be doing. My last Church talked a good talk but seldom went out there to spread the gospel or show it. Still a small Church but growing. I would say this is good for people who have been growing and want to do more. To use the gifts we are given the authority to use by The Father. read more

I have been coming to TK since May this year. Church TK is a place to grow as a follower of Christ, to learn bible-based teachings, fellowship with loving people, receive intercessory prayer, and to be equipped as a saint. Once you come through the doors, you can feel such a powerful spirit of worship and praise to God. The worship is a mix of gospel and contemporary worship and there is so much freedom to worship as you please. You may see praise flag dancing, jumping, and people just expressing the joy of the Lord. I have made so many friends here and I hope you get to make your way to Church TK, too! read more

Church Tsidkenu is my home church. They are a Holy Spirit filled like no other. A place for you to learn and grow in brotherhood and sisterhood with other young believers. Our heart is for evangelizing and outreach in the streets of San Diego or wherever we travel to. Blessings to you that search for more than surface spirituality. read more
