Before I list the pros and cons I want to let the reader know that this is not a criticism of…read moreCornerstone but a critique. Criticism is often intended to hurt people, whereas a critique identifies things that are good and bad (in the eyes of the beholder I might add.) It appears that this church is in the building process and their are many opportunities for growth. It is a warm friendly church with much to offer. *** Observations Pastor is a mid west style preacher Seems they have developed organization over organism, so programs and events are driving the church whereas our preference would be an organism that is driving the need for organization Appears to have an attendance of about 300 over three services A well balanced mix of young and old parishners *** Pro's This is a well run church that is obviously conservative and Bible based Seems that from an organizational standpoint they are on their way Evangelical message with an obvious passion for the lost Friendly greeting by very nice people Excellent help with children and information Nice campus in a nice neighborhood The worship band was talented The kids loved their Sunday School *** Con's The point of the pastors sermon was lost on all of us Pastor used lots of verses but he was all over the place and we were not able to keep up with him or discern what he wanted us to get out of it No cell/community life groups, they do however, have some small groups that meet weekly The worship leader sings out of key most of the time The song selection was not inspiring and rather worn out We assume the group could all sing, the only voice you could hear was the worship leader The drums drowned out the rest of the instruments and vocalists, it is a shame the sound was mixed so poorly because the other players were good musicians that could have added much to the impact of the music

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!

Anyways, that isn't the point, lol. We came here with for their 11:00 "traditional" service. My husband did confirm to me it was very traditional and I felt at peace during the service. It felt like God was with you and you don't get that at a lot of sermons. Both of the pastors are wonderful and took extra time to chat with us and welcome us and just pleasant conversation. It's very easy to follow along on the huge TV screens or you have the LBW you can follow along with the paper they give you. Everyone we met and said hello to was very nice. I didn't feel like I was judged at all. In fact I look forward to going back again. I can't speak to their other styles of service, but I highly recommend the Traditional for a service that is just that.

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 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.
