My name is Ken P. and I am Senior Manager & Systems Engineer for a world leading global information company. I have attended FBC since 1991 when I moved to the Wildomar area and found it in the phonebook. All 3 of my kids grew up going here. My wife and I have tried to follow the truths we've learned, from the Bible, as best we could, although, I'm sure "best" is very debatable as there are certainly many failures on my part that God has shown great mercy with. My wife and I are 30 years happily, happily, married, (countless 'helps' for success we have learned here). All three of our kids have, so far, have made God-honoring choices in their lives (all glory to God for his mercy, guiding hand, and equipping them in their faith). They are now, all married, raising children, and happily serving God with their own families. Some are still here at FBC and others out of state where the faith they grew up with still remains passionately active and serving in church. I can't put a price on happy kids, with happy marriages, happily serving the Lord, them seeing lives changed, leading others to the salvation Jesus so freely offers, & helping others to know the peace and joy they can have in Christ. The blessings of God are so-worth every difficult God-honoring choice. Jesus has is so amazingly faithful even when I have not been. I am not so naive to realize that all of this good could go bad someday as we are all subject to human frailties, but my hope and prayer is that we all would "...continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and been assured of..." like 2nd Timothy 3:14 says and hopefully help others along the way also make it through the difficult battles and hurts-of-life victoriously with Jesus Christ. In the 27 years here at FBC, life's hurts have come and gone because we are all human (and I would be arrogant to think that I have not failed someone(s) along the way :( ) as happens in any place where God's people work hard and do battle for the Lord, but so as the hurts, so have come the indescribable victories these wonderful years and it's through these battles I have gotten to draw closer to an ever-loving, victorious Savior and spiritually stand with the ever battle-tested 'Captain of our Salvation', Jesus Christ. At FBC, praise the Lord, I'm still growing, still serving, and hope to help others who want to do the same. 1st Cor.15:57 'But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.' Can't thank you enough Jesus for Faith Baptist Church!!!! You are the best! read more

I do not recommend this place for the following reasons: - There have been at least 2 convicted predators produced from this "church" (cult), in addition to countless others from the Independent Fundamental Baptist movement. You can see for yourself by watching "Let Us Prey: A Ministry of Scandals" on HBO max. - I personally was approached by adult bus workers and invited to church while sitting on my neighbor's driveway alone at 8 years old. They bribed kids with candy, pizza, or fun activities (can't forget "Goldfish Sunday" where bus workers swallow live goldfish) to get them to come to church. - Parents were taught to beat their children "until they are sorry". - The "pastor" has refused to marry at least one interracial couple, he used the bible to justify this racism. - Once a member, you are expected to tithe, which means giving 10% of your income (including gifts, tax refunds, etc.). On top of that you were also expected to give to their "building fund" and missionaries, in addition to any other "expenses" that came up. - Speaking of the "building fund", they collected for at least 15-20 years and to date have not built the new building. The first time I remember giving personally was in 5th grade. - Male church/school staff posed as a teenage girl on MySpace to spy on any teenagers who had one (social media is not allowed) and asked me questions like, "have you ever done anything with your boyfriend?", and "do your parents know you are on MySpace?" - In addition to social media not being allowed, members were urged not to watch tv, listen to the radio, go to the movies, and to separate themselves from "worldly" friends and family members (i.e. anyone who thought differently than or disagreed with their teachings). - Women and girls were taught that their bodies should be covered (loose fitting clothes, skirts below the knee, no tank tops, neckline must be 2-3 fingers from collar bone), otherwise they may lead men into sexual sin. These rules were expected to be kept in public, not just at church. The men in the church were often the first to point out a dress-code violation. - They labeled most elementary-age Sunday school students as "bus kids" or "drive-ins" and separated them so the bus kids didn't poorly influence the drive-ins. read more

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: (since my previous review was removed for not being specific enough!) -Bribed at 8 years old by adults to ride the bus to church (I was sitting in the driveway with no adults around when I was approached) -Immediately taught that I was worthless as both a human and a woman -Women and girls are taught that their bodies are shameful and should be covered (loose fitting clothes, skirts below the knee, no tank tops - these rules are expected to be kept in public, not just at church) -Not allowed to listen to the radio, watch most tv, go to the movies -Parents are taught to beat their children "until they are sorry" -Judged by many of the "in crowd" for not being as well off as they were (they label kids as "bus kids" or "drive ins" and separate them so the bus kids don't poorly influence the drive ins) -Bruce Goddard (the "pastor") is publicly racist and will not marry interracial couples, uses the Bible to justify his racism -Witnessed the youth pastor leave my best friend's house when we were teenagers, turned out he was raping her and other teens for two decades - yes this is my personal experience, I sat in the court room for his hearings and witnessed him plead guilty I know some of the people leaving 5 star reviews below. They are either on staff and desperate to keep people coming because that is how they make a paycheck or they are members with some pretty horrible skeletons in their closets. Attend FBC at your own risk. This place is a cult. read more

Attended Faith Baptist Church since I was born until I was about 25 years old. Let me preface by saying, it's extremely difficult to realize you're in a cult when it's all you know and you love the people there. I'm ashamed to say that I ate it up and was a part of it for far too long. There are fantastic loving people there, BUT...it is set up in such a way that allows for predators and abusers to get away with disgusting vile acts. The pastor, Bruce Goddard, has a history of hiding child predators. If you want to see what goes on here, watch Let Us Prey: A Ministry of Scandals on MAX. Literally none of it is exaggerated. I can personally say that what you see in the documentary is 100% accurate. Anyone that wants to tell me I'm wrong, I went to Faith Baptist for a looooong time. Go ahead and try to tell me that with a straight face. I probably know your family personally. If you have dirty secrets, I probably know them. Lots of really good people led astray by sick, greedy, child predator sheltering creeps. read more

FBC is the friendliest church I have ever attended. My children grew up in this church and my oldest son, though out of the house, still chooses to attend this church! Our home, marriage, children, spiritual lives, and encouragement to serve the Lord have all been helped by the teachings we have heard while attending here. We have been taught to seek God for ourselves and not just trust in our church or the pastor -- but to trust in the Bible and the Saviour! This past weekend FBC gave away hundreds of free turkeys, groceries, toys, and gifts. Mini-Thanksgiving services were held all the way from Chino to Romoland to Oceanside!! I love that our church loves people. The joy of handing someone a bag of groceries and seeing their gratitude is priceless!! Above all, thousands of people heard the Gospel this weekend and many hundreds received the free gift of eternal life by placing their faith in the only Saviour who gave His life to pay for that Gift! I love being involved in the ministry at FBC!! read more

'let us prey' documentary on hbo max will help you understand the hurt the ifb cults have put on people. let it be physical trama or emotional trama. these "churches" have manipulated and abused the word of god. they abuse the name of jesus to help them control people to follow their own rules not the lord's. and if you are a church member from fbc feeling anger from reading this post thats not anger thats guilt from allowing men like bruce goddard to allow this sin to go on that is called manipulation to make people live life the way he (goddard) wants it. stop slapping god's name in front of every rule you make goddard just cus you and the men you raised in your church cant take accountability for their own temptations and stop blaming women for the problems they start in their own minds that god created. that church should be shut down just saying and if youre offended go pray about it like youve been praying about what youll do for all the victims from that cult #puritycultureisrapeculture read more

This church fails to protect its young people. The pastor holds all power, and there is no system of checks and balances on his authority, which is a violation of the model of church government given in the Bible. Former members April Avila, Rachel Peach, Lea Ramirez, and Kathy Durbin have come forward with allegations, not just about sexual abuse of them when they were young teens, but about the culture of secrecy and victim shaming at Faith Baptist Church in Wildomar, California Victims have alleged that pastor Bruce Goddard, who has avoided the media since the arrest of youth pastor Malo "Victor" Monteiro for sexual abuse, managed allegations of sexual misconduct by moving men out of the church to halt their contact with their victims. He did not contact authorities, nor did he ever address the situation with the teenagers themselves. His wife is alleged to have accused one girl of home wrecking. read more

FBC is an amazing church with warm, friendly people. Great friends, who love you just how you are. Preaching and teaching that points you to have a closer relationship with the Lord through a personal walk with Him. Amazing youth department! Workers who love our teens and make it "popular" to do right. Great Sunday school teachers who do an amazing job teaching and loving our children. A pastor and pastor's wife who truly love us. Often Preacher will say that the only close friends he has attend our church, he is not exaggerating. He loves spending time with our church people. If you are looking for a place where you are loved and constantly reminded of the amazing God Who loves us -- you will love FBC too! read more

Faith Baptist Church of Wildomar has repeatedly caused harm to their members by protecting abusers within their midst and on their staff (Watch Let Us Prey: A Ministry of Scandals for more indisputable info). I have attended this church a couple dozen times and have attended their ladies conferences and the teen camp they host. They are an exclusive group that reveres their pastor like a god. They oust anyone who does not comply with the pastor and leadership. It is absolutely not safe to send children to this church or ministry. read more

Pastor Goddard yelled out at the end of the service in October of 2021 , that JESUS didn't come to save you, HE came to show you a better way to live. That is absolute heresy. For a pastor that brags about being a preacher for 39 years and then denies the reason JESUS came tells me he is building a cult. Pastor also said at the end of a Wednesday service that GOD doesn't care about your body. Tell that to the millions that pray for healing. The man is a heretic. Stay away. Sincerely Arnold Hall. read more

My family attended this church for several years, as well as the Christian school. Don't be fooled by the hypocrites running this cult. They will charm your family and show you the"right way" to live. It's b.s. and they have protected MULTIPLE abusers at this church. Turn and run FAST... find a different church. read more

This is the saddest excuse of a "church". It is better catagorized as a cult! They Ty to brainwash you the second you walk through the door. they are nutritious for covering "s" assault. if you don't believe me watch the documentar, "Let us Prey" they cover up abuse!! do not trust your kids here! read more

This is a wonderful church to attend. Everyone has been very welcoming. The church is a bit old fashioned, but that is what is so appealing about it. There are no major light shows or rock concert type productions. Just the word of God. read more

My kids love going attending service here interacting with other children best very humble people very thankful and blessed of coming across such great church brother Matt can't thank you enough for everything you have done read more

Multiple people have been arrested here for allegedly sexually assaulting and raping minors in the youth group and the pastor didn't report it to the authorities. Do not attend here or send your children, it's not safe. read more

Caution this is the church where the youth pastor was convicted of molesting the teens. There are several lawsuits pending. The former bus director was just arrested for molesting a teen also. read more

Please stop sending your creepy cult newsletters in the mail. It's extremely damaging that you'd send out flyers stating your deity can have ANY healing power towards COVID-19. read more
