Summit point is definitely come as you're with a heavy emphasis on teachings from the bible with Pastor Elisha (El*eye*shu) interpreting the gospels and application towards our lives. Campus is the previous Evanjelical(Southern Baptist?) Church here in Mira Mesa renovated. Each area of the campus is equipped with ramps or stairs including main hall, office, Kidz Cove, restrooms, etc... I wholeheartedly recommend Summit Point Church if you're local to the area and are in need of fellowship and community.

First, I should note the following: I am agnostic and think Christianity is bullocks. Given that,…read morewhy did I attend a service at Ethnos today? I was duped. Somewhat. A friend of mine started attending Ethnos over the summer. She claimed she was atheist, and that she went for curiosity's sake. I internally groaned and thought, "Noooo, they're going to get to her too! Damn it!" Yes, I fully admit I'm a bigot when it comes to one or two things in life. Anyway, last week I asked her if she was still going to the weekly services. MK indeed was, and told me all about the previous sermon; it seemed pretty interesting and had little to do about religion. She claimed that the pastor rarely touched upon religion and usually just philosophized for an hour or so. When MK told me this week's topic was sex, I thought, "Hmm, maybe I should check this place out." And I did. As we were approaching the entrance this morning,she gave me some surprising news: "Uh yeah, for the first hour we sing." Uh, thanks for letting me know that in advance. Singing and me have a rather unpleasant relationship. Thankfully the lights were turned low and not everyone was singing along. A non-singer such as myself could feel quite comfortable just listening to the music. I should also note the music was very lively. And my friend was wrong- the music session was 30 minutes at most. Following that was a prayer session for 10-15 minutes. We were supposed to get into groups of 3-4 people. Given the fact I only pray during sporting events, I just chatted to MK and her friend. No one seemed to mind. So props for that. Finally came the pastor and his talk on sex. He chose to focus on Proverbs 5:1-23. I thought it was a pretty sweet passage and even us heretical agnostics could apply its lesson to our lives. I liked the sermon until the pastor's solution in handling sexual frustration: turn to God. When he elaborated, he actually chose some Pslam that said "right hand" and I thought that was appropriate. Unfortunately he wasn't making an innuendo to masturbation; had he done so, I would have immediately decided to make a return visit. The pastor wasn't as liberal as me, and still insisted that one should wait for sex until marriage. Yeah, that's when I remembered why I'm not a church goer, and the "Give me a freaking break" line started to run over and over through my mind. So overall, it is a pretty nice service. It isn't SUPER liberal, but it ain't Pat Robertson territory either. And lastly, if anyone tells you about Ethnos, and claims religion is downplayed here, DON'T BELIEVE THEM! (just to make it clear, last line was a joking reference to my friend, and not anyone directly related to Ethnos)

Pastor Matt's messages are Holy Spirit led, well thought out and easy to apply to your life.

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 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!

Catholic Mass in San Diego, California…read more.. Many years ago, I attended a Catholic University in San Diego: The University of San Diego. For two years, I had great learning experiences and made many friends - one of whom with I still keep in touch. I told Joanie that I would be in town and that I would like to go to Mass with her. She invited me to her home parish: Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Situated on the corner of Stoney Creek Road and Carmel Mountain Road, Our Lady of Mount Carmel is surrounded by beautiful landscaping and has a wonderful view in a residential area! Inside, the church is stunning with modern decor, and highlighted with colorful stained glass and decorative tiles. The Baptismal Font and pool for full body immersion is impressive! Maintaining tradition, the choir led three songs in Latin, accompanied by organ music. Kneeling after singing "Holy, Holy, Holy" and "Lamb Of God", we also knelt after receiving Holy Communication. Parishioners who wish to receive Communion on the tongue, kneel on the wooden kneeler in front of the priest. The rest of the congregation received Communion in the hands while standing up. Joanie showed me the special stained glass windows for certain Saints such as Mother Teresa. She also pointed out the bricks on the walkway that were engraved with donors' names. Before this church was built, parishioners would meet in the church hall for mass. Yes ... The social Hall was built first. Later, in 2013, the church was built. It was a pleasant experience and I wouldn't hesitate to return to such a wonderful environment!

I didn't think much about some practices and sermons that didn't seem Christian or Christ like in my humble opinion. SD is a big city and many have different beliefs and can still be followers. However, I later learned this congregation is down to the the bidding of the enemy. I find the predatory behaviors I witnessed appalling and entirely contradictory toward Biblical principles. It's sad a church would take advantage of an elderly widow and prey on some of the innocent. God knows what else this establishment may be up to. Teachings would say to pray for them and I also hope others don't fall prey to these predators and false teachings.

The head pastor is a woman which is both unusual and really cool. Her messages are interesting and helpful. You can tell she has a very kind heart. The church is very multicultural and super friendly. Often there is at least one Spanish song in worship. Towards the end of service they ask if anyone has a word from the Lord to share like in the Vineyard tradition of old. Then at the very end they ask the Holy Spirit to come, and have a ministry team come to the front and anyone is welcome to go up for prayer whether it be physical or some other need. The people who pray are also very kind. The people there are very friendly. They have a great mix of ages from tiny babies to grandparents. They meet in a school auditorium which is easy to find and a nice space and I'm sure keeps the costs low. They have free fresh made coffee and Panera bagels and Krispy Kreme doughnuts before and after the service. About once a month there is a free meal after the service and everyone is invited, it has been a huge Middle Eastern food feast both times and what a blessing. If you are looking for a friendly church that teaches the Bible and makes room for the Holy Spirit, you won't go wrong here!
