Three years had passed and I completely forgot about this. I had stopped attending the church and listening to them on their website and I guess I was only interested in the Genesis series which I did listened to then attended there and the book of Revelation . I did feel pain , betrayal and a deep sense of rejection and a feeing of an outcast but I just never bothered. After The Lord showed me this . I had three Eureka pink lemon seedlings growing and he told me gift them one and tell them Thank you for having me over at your home. The following week He told me give them a sample of the lemon because they do not know what it is so I did that as well . Then I was able to tune in at their website and listened to their teaching on the first chapter of the book of Ephesians. My next Sabbath after I did this I went through a lot of spiritual warfare so I decided to write or update my review and these are the gleanings from that spiritual warfare it took me 4 days . here is something that came up on my Saturday sabbath warfare. At that time I believe it was October of 2023. I had a part time job that basically covered my rent and I had the time to study etc. It was with a company that was wrapping up their last project and the owner of the company he just decided to go overseas to visit his properties there and he didn't tell me how long he would be gone so I did share with Teresa that i was looking for full time work and I didn't know how I was going to pay my rent . So maybe she taught I was using them but I shared a prayer request. I believe they by they I mean the Teresa and the leader they told me do not return that i go to another church that was at the end of October. How I paid my rent was that I refinance my car and paid my rent and i continued attending Ben David Jewish messianic congregation in orange county and the Rock church here in North County . I live in Oceanside . Ben David every morning they have an hour of prayer and it was during the prayer meeting I thank the Lord for his faithfulness. I just prayed after the prayer meeting was done the leader handed me a check I never asked them for anything , He just handed me a check to be honest I didn't need it . I graciously took it and kept it in my bible and cashed it a month after. My boss returned and I was fine. The Lord is faithful people. He is true to His word. he blessed me after that project finished with good jobs. I even became a lecturer at an Accounting college. They had called me in while i was attending the home group to do an exam assessment and later on they had an opening to lecture and I got it. Praise the Lord. The Lord has been taking care of me and providing for me . I even started a bible study where I live . he is so faithful I have been at that same apartment . It's six years. I have a wooden cross on the Patio an evangelical pastor who witness at the Pier in oceanside gifted it to me when i moved to that apartment that's before the home group and last Christmas I bought two fruited olive trees and have one at the entrance and one in the patio . it's beautiful. Every morning when I wake up I just love looking at them . One of my key persons at my bible study. She is Apache native Indian. She told me am so naive but it's okay I will say innocent. It's my upbring and folks it's good to be innocent and sheltered by the word of God. he leads you, takes care of you, loves on you because before this Teresa questioned me and it didn't bother me she asked me why do i live in Oceanside when I go to church in Orange. Well I fasted for two week, my church asked me to do that before i left NY and the Lord place me here and it's only in 2023 when I had that revelation that I was worshipping Jesus the way the Brahma Kumaris people taught me and n ot who He is by participating in Rabbi Roy Schwartz class on the book of Daniel i realized that . they were the closest messianic church I could attend so I went there and I have to tell you . They were one of the nicest church I ever went to . I never asked but they gave and not only that one of the Rabbi's that Reggie's wife , her name is Rosarita, invited me out to lunch with a group of ladies it was so nice she treated me then she spent the evening with me just talking because her Rabbi Reggie was in a board meeting and she was waiting on him . we just chatted fellowship I cannot tell you what a huge blessing that was for me. Where the Lord leads He provides. when He reveals things to you and you step into it. He makes away for you. I feel better now the spiritual warfare has ended but I just wanted to give the Lord the honor, praise and glory. I hope this encourages anyone who is going through some sort of church hurt. It's a big ministry out here now. Yep " Church Hurt " that's what they call it . I forgive them all.

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 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. And did I mention fun? To celebrate the end of the week, there was a bouncy house, Chick fil A picnic, face painting, games-- fun for everyone!

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.
