I attended this church for almost 7 years. Faithfully. However, there were things that didn't sit…read morewell with me that kept growing the longer I stayed and the more I couldn't ignore. Don't be lured by the bright lights and awesome music. Because underneath it is the most prideful, country club church I've ever and painfully experienced. The pastors care about their European vacations and vuori clothes and the amount of money you give. When you stop giving, you will get a phone call. When you reach out with concerns, they may or may not get back to you and say something like "we are proud of what we are doing at CRB. " It's more about what you wear and what you look like and the cliques you will never be a part of. I don't write this to hurt the church. I write this to urge people to run. Run far, far away from this place and find a bible loving christian church that embraces you with open arms, where you grow closer to God and where souls are saved. Run to place that when you need prayer, they will stop what they are doing and pray. Run from a place where the sermons are about how great they are and not about how great God is. I pray this church humbled themselves and repents.

I would never have come to this church were it not for the recommendation of a dear friend. It was…read morelocated so far away from me. This church holds more to conservative Christian beliefs but that in no way means they are lacking in compassion. They have an interesting blend of worship with music and worshipful dance that is done by regular people who feel so led to worship in this way, and since the dance area is behind the seats it is not at all distracting if that isn't your thing. The worship service felt intimate and real. What drew me here was their Jesus Ministry Conference http://www.newhopechurch.com/jesusministry/conference/jmconference.html When you go to church a lot, like I have, I believe you become desensitized to the things taught. These simple truths in this conference really were eye opening and refreshing. How truth really does set you free. And how Jesus can empower you to make healthier choices for your life. That you in fact can make that choice because of the power of the cross, the realization that you have that choice, is where freedom is found. This is a church that if you have some church background and are looking for a place to serve and to know Jesus in a deeper and more meaningful way, this church, its staff, its people, are all very hungry for the same thing. I felt very welcome here. If you are new to church, it's not a bad place to check out. The pastoral staff is warm and genuine and so are the people. Again, they hold to a more fundamental Biblical view but that by no means, means they are lacking in compassion. This church was there when I needed some prayer and a kick start to my faith. And, well, God really spoke to me here. And when it comes down to a review of a church, that's all that should really matter. There are lots of places to worship God. But if you are interested in or are of the Christian faith and you are dealing with the same problems over and over and can't seem to get free of them or if you are lacking in your faith, the Jesus Ministry Conference has some practical tools to learn how to deepen your faith. Its more than happy feel good sermons. Its something you can use every day. I'll be going to a conference again the next time I am in the San Diego Area if the timing is right. And if you miss the conference, there is still much to be gained from attending services here. I know I will return to either a service or a conference myself my next trip here. Peace to you on your journey of faith.

I was burnt out on church. From the politics to the people, I was in need of a change. I wasn't…read moreburnt out on God. I was seeking for a place that I could call my church home. I explored countless churches for over a year, even did church at home, before finding New Hope. I felt a genuine sense of acceptance and welcome. New Hope communicates to me that we are all God's workmanship and in process at multiple phases and appearances. The worship, teaching, and community align with my beliefs and I even felt that if I had a difference of opinion that I would still be welcome here to worship God in my own way. As a huge bonus my kids loved the kid church and even asked if they could come back tomorrow. This was a first from my kids. I recognize that not every church is a fit for everyone but I believe that New Hope is a transparent and authentic group of people who love God and welcome other people to love God with them.

(I'm looking at you Pastor Nate and Carlie). I love the women's ministry too! Just a fantastic group of ladies of all different ages and walks of life worshipping God and having fun. I have met more people here in 7 months than I did the entire seven years at another church. It's not me- Im not different. This CHURCH is different. Jesus is for everyone and that's what this church lives out. I wasn't sure I would like watching the sermon on a screen (the main campus is in Vista.) But I'm so used to it now- It's not a big deal to me. The messages are fantastic. They are planted in scripture and I've learned a lot more about the Bible! I have felt nothing but kindness, love and support from North Coast Rancho Bernardo and I'm so so so grateful. My kids also really like the youth group!! If you're a christian- you need a church. You may think you don't- but you do. We aren't meant to walk our faith out alone. If you're NOT a christian, check out this church and see what it's all about. If you see me- come say Hi.

I first visited this church (years ago) when it was known as Canyon Hills Church. I was a regular…read moreat The Rock for some years but wanted to find a church closer to home and w/ a smaller congregation. Grace Point Church really is a wonderful place. Pastor Bob is a laid back guy with a gift to preach great sermons. There's always lots of laughter and thoughtfulness during his sermons. It's quite easy to come if you're alone (as I've done many times). No one pressures you to fill out anything, or to tithe, or to really 'mingle'. They welcome you and let you do what you feel comfortable which I really appreciated when I first visited. A few great things about this church: 1. Their women's bible study is awesome. A great way to meet your fellow church mates and to learn more about the bible. . 2. You are required to take a Core Class 101 to become a member of the church. I really liked this b/c it gives you a chance to meet all the other new ppl who have a genuine desire to become part of the church. Pastor Bob personally teaches this class. 3. Tithing. They don't pass around satchels for you to drop in your tithe. You simply drop off the tithe in one of the sealed column containers after the sermon. I have a feeling that this will be church I grow with and I'm happy to say that actually. My previous church felt huge and daunting. Here, especially w/ the help of the women's bible studies, I feel at 'home' and at ease which is what I think is fundamental in finding the 'right' church

Good news, folks, I didn't burst into flames upon walking through the front door…read more.. Yeah, I was raised "conveniently" Catholic, which is my way of saying that we went to church a few times a year when I was young, mostly on religious holidays, but our attendance slowed to a trickle in later years settling for a prayer at the dinner table as a sufficient substitute. In the same breath, my older brother jumped headfirst back into the church a few years ago and because of that we celebrated his wedding at San Rafael Parish. I will say that it's an incredibly bizarre feeling to attend a six person wedding in a massive space like this, but 2021 is still making up for 2020's shortcomings and gatherings still seem like a bad idea. So, our tiny family of six was joined by the Monsignor, a piano player, a singer, a photographer, and an employee that webcasted the ceremony to Australia, my sister-in-law's homeland. Everything was perfect. Everything was sincere. Everything was beautiful. Thanks San Rafael Parish for opening your doors to my brother and his bride on their special day and giving them the religious wedding that they were really looking forward to.
