Two words: CHRIS BROWN…read more No, not the rapper :) I wish this were our home church but we live all the way up in north OC. But to hear this man preach, we make the 71-mile trek every couple months and it's always worth it. Not only is he a master story-teller and super engaging and funny and all the characteristics of an effective speaker, but most importantly he is faithful to the text--he does his research and draws out details that have often gone overlooked by even seasoned students of Scripture, and delivers God's word, neither in a "seeker-friendly" manner, nor in an academic tone as if to seminary students, but rather to the soul that simply needs more Jesus (that's everyone) in no matter what stage of their Christian walk. And I love how he doesn't assume everyone in the audience is a "seasoned' Christian or even saved in the first place. He doesn't even assume you know how to navigate the Bible as he guides you how to flip to book/chapter he is preaching out of. His messages will make your eyes water and fire you up at the same time. Get ready to open the floodgates (your tear ducts ) He's helped me with my walk for years now, whether I listen online or in person. Finally the music during the service is awesome. Being a musician and having played for several worship teams over the years, I don't mean that lightly. Their play a variety of worship songs, including contemporary , oldies but goodies, AND original songs they've written themselves! --which are both easy to sing and gospel-centered at the same time.

It's to much of a mega church now. Also, I've been going since 2021. And one thing that has bugged me most is we talk about maybe 5-8 versus of a chapter and the rest of the time we are talking about how this guy from "West Texas." Had it growing up.... Or we talking about terrible things happening in a different country because the church has been there (got paid to go). But doesn't talk about the terrible things that are going on in our own backyard (United States). I understand as the Lords children. Church is not the only time we read the Bible. However, there are so many people who go to church that don't even own a Bible. But during the service. Reading more of a chapter of a Bible can really make a break through for someone who's on the fence about religion.

Based on my own experience and intimately knowing everyone at the church, their concerns are 100% unfounded. From Geneis to Revelation this church is Conscientious, Careful, Caring in every area, unified, biblically sound and ministry minded. Its a 10 star Church with a pure heart for reaching others and discipling them in the ways of Christ. 90% of the people here are involved.

It really is inspirational. I find myself frequently moved to tears as the music is so beautiful! This is a very intimate church. They are very in touch with their members. It's not unusual for them to pray specifically for someone who is struggling with physical issues or whatever. Here, you are not just a number in a throng of people. They truly care about each and every person-the leaders are so genuinely caring. There is just so much love in this space. It is so real you can feel it, you can see it! Here love is not just a word-it's an action. And I am so happy to have landed here. I hope that when they move to their new location that they keep that close-knit caring bond that they have formed. Give this church a visit if you are searching for connection, if you are searching for a church family, this is truly a unique and very special place!

We were there ten minutes before 9 am . It was a full amount of people , every seat was taken by 9 am . The music started , great musicians but it was extremely loud . I'm too sensitive to sound this early , probably bring ear plugs next time . The music went on for 30 minutes. Then Pastor Pat started his sermon . He ended at 10 am and then the service was over . Service was an hour . We then walked outside to the large outdoor area. Set up with games and a coffee donut stand . It was a different format than any church I've been too but in a good way . It was a great start to a Happy Easter !

One said ask about revelations and "Observe how they take their tithes". You've clearly only talked to like one person at the church and most likely only attended once. It's ridiculous to make assumptions when you don't take the time to get to know the people and see what the church values. I've attended many churches in and around San Diego. The Rock has made a bigger impact in my life than any other Church.

Classic Catholic Church from the outside yet the inside is round and usually the churches I am used to in Spain have a more rectangular shape. There is a beautiful olive tree at the patio so nice and photogenic. The chapel dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe is so enchanting and always full of people and flowers. You can tell this church build in 1948 is very busy and they have lots of masses in their schedule. Beautiful stained glass windows

As someone who hasn't gone to church in foreverrrr, he doesn't make me feel super judged or like poop. He's funny too- at least he was in Escondido. I put a four instead of five bc the actual church is kinda sad looking too :/ if there were so many y issues w screaming children, then they should do what they did in escondido- make a section specifically for families w children are more active/rambunctious. The wall is glass and I think there's like a speaker in there so u can hear mass. Since the glass is thick u can't hear yelling kids
