The pastor said do not draw attention to yourself since 2023 when I had my revelation I started wearing tee shirts with scriptures on it . I just want the world to know Jesus that is my intention and I do my prayer walk wearing these tee shirts . Mitch Glaser In 2024 when he visited Shuvah Ysreal that's their congregation in Irvine. He asked us to wear their tee shirts with Isaiah 53 since the Talmud remove that chapter of Isaiah that one of the scriptures that speaks of the coming of the messiah. I understand you all are doing " the way" But it's okay if it is something you all approved but not okay if you have a revelation and do something I am thinking well that's just not me . I truly do not belong there nor do i fit in. I truly thank Teresa she actually blessed me . I went on their summer hikes in 2023 wearing one of my tee shirts and nobody talked to me . It's so weird I hiked and nobody they were just into themselves . I don't have to try to fit in because I am already accepted and loved immensely by my Lord and savior . Imagine in February of 2024 . My Pastor Tim Delina, He is the senior pastor at Times Square Church was standing on the pulpit of Maranatha Chapel preaching and so was the whole group . That's how much the Lord loves me and every year they come out here now for a week and I am invited. We have a song we sing at TSC " Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom " nearly every service we sing it . I thank Jesus for technology because I can watch their service . It's tow and half hours long. It starts with prayer then worship is one hour and preaching is an hour and I just love it . I truly love my Jesus and truly love my church . I would remember where I used to stand and sit , i love the worship so vibrant and alive with impromtu prayer while singing and varied races singing together . It must be what heaven looks like . Today we are starting our three days of prayer and fasting and we will be praying for Isreal with Solu Isreal doing worship . Last year Solu Isreal did a night or worship and 34 countries tuned in and the you tube debuted at 14K vies presently it's over 26K . I personally did more then 100 views . It was amazing .They have home groups and baptism online. It's great They stand for the widows, orphans, oppressed and immigrant. Christianity for me is them . it's the whole package, love, acceptance, family and wherever you go you can tune in worship my neighbors hear me singing and worshipping with them joyfully. I leave you all with this quote from Roy T Bennett. " Shine with the Light of your own flame, and the world will glow differently" I know, when I wear my scripture based Tee shirts I get a lot of thumbs up and many young adults come up to me with a smile. I know it spoke to them and encourage them . A lady shopping in Walmart spent an hour chatting with me on the scripture while I was doing my shopping . it's my way of being so thankful for my salvation . The Lord saved me and brought me to this country to learn of Him . He saved me from being a Brahma Kumaris from the Brahma Kumaris world Spiritual University. A peace organization affiliated with the UN. I was born into a Hindu home but became a Brahmin with them at age 18 . Due to my knowledge of their scriptures . I have loved God and served Him my entire life and I am so happy to finally know the One, True Living God. His name is Jesus . He is Lord of all lords . King of all kings and God of all gods. Amen! and I know Him and He loves me dearly as the late Pastor William Carol always used to say the church is Jesus bride but no pastor or any congregant didn't die on the cross for you but Jesus did. I am so blessed and so loved that Jesus sent Pastor Tim Delina all the way from NY and plant him at Maranatha Chapel stage . Yep Jesus would leave the 99 to save the one and they treated me to a very nice dinner. I am good and okay . Accepted, Loved and Cherished and belong to The Lord's forever family Amen! It's all good no hard feelings, Please enjoy the pink lemon tree when it started bearing . It's from the Lord so say thank you for having me over at your home at the home group.

The head pastor is phenomenal. However, the youth and kids ministry is terrible. The teachers in…read morethe youth have zero control, kids are on their cell phones playing games, interrupting etc. They don't break up into small groups at youth group so it is impossible to meet other kids. The teachers are extremely focused on "bringing your friends from school" and that is about it! My boys attended for one year (5th and 7th grade) and didn't make a single friend. The women's ministry is lacking--they meet once a month if you have a toddler. The life groups fill up quickly and I wasn't allowed to join because it was "too late, too full." It's probably just too big.

I was referred by a family member who has been coming for years and they were so right! From the beginning and even now the treatment of respect and understanding from staff to the congregation is all there. The events they put on to help bring you closer to your faith and to communicate with other people is a bonus rather than just a normal Sunday service(s). I have been service with them shortly after and can say even behind the scene's they take the challenges head on to make sure that all are welcome no matter what and that the children even have a great experience so that way the adults can encounter God. I love to call this church our church family. Its not a church you attend but a family where you belong.

I wanted to locate the…read morechurch I attended growing up in Carlsbad (Carlsbad Union Church) only to find the original church was gone and in its place was Carlsbad Community Church. I stopped in at the office and was greeted by a wonderful, friendly and helpful lady, Arlene I believe, in the office and she was the highlight of my trip. She was so helpful and genuinely interested in helping me get all my questions answered. She even attempted to get me in to visit with one of the Pastors, but he wasn't able to see me. I attended the Sunday service, along with two other former classmates, and thoroughly enjoyed the message (guest speaker) and the welcoming spirit of so many of the congregation. Arlene, who sang in the choir, noticed and remembered me when I walked in and she made me feel so welcome when she came up to my friends and me after the service and welcomed us. It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend Carlsbad Community Church to anyone looking for a church home and a deepening of their relationship with the LORD. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to meet Arlene. Arne L.

We knew from day 1 that we had found our real church home and we've been here over 4 years now! The Pastors, Elders, and Ministry Leaders are all so amazing -- "worth the price of admission" -- but wait! . . . there's more! ; D It has quite a variety of people and ages and stages... yet still feels like it's a true Family. What we love most is that the "personality" of FCC is unpretentious, pleasantly interesting, and based on a pure & joyful passion for God. It exists for God's Glory, furthering the Gospel (to the benefit of every willing soul!) & uplifting God's people -- via gathering together for relationship-building within the Family (including God). FCC is a thriving church that, like a loving family, cares; isn't "trying too hard;" and is perfect just the way it is ...being itself. What else can we say? . . . FCC is a slice of Heaven on Earth!

The leaders are super friendly and accessible, and down to earth; just like the entire group of people involved. It seems like everything is carefully thought out to make it easy to go to church and become a part of a group of believers without having to be raised in a church. Bonus- a super place to gather and feel safe--- they have volunteers with military experience who take turns keeping an eye open and making sure that the check out process for kids is followed so everything is in order.

Just when you think it couldn't get worse, they put in...a pickleball court. They don't appear to adhere to any hours. From 8:30 am or 8:30 pm in every room of my house, I hear the playing. My neighbors have all kindly reached out asking them to mellow, but it is 7:42 pm and here we are still hearing the pickling. If the hours stopped at 5 or they used quieter paddles, I would cut them some slack. Our HOA has made excessively strict rules about the game, and as someone who loves to play, I'm not opposed. I just wished they would think about the fact they set up in a community with people who have tough jobs and would occasionally like to come home to some peace and quiet.
