The church seems empty in spirit. The space is large and clean, yet lacks feeling. The pastor is…read morerobotic and lacks warmth. The current attendees keep to themselves and are not inviting to outsiders, beyond the initial first three greetings. The church seems to focus on fundraising and worship the all mighty dollar, rather than growing the church parish and focus on relationship building. It has been very disappointing to hear the complains of the pastor, yet he keeps contradicting his own words by his actions. This church is filled with a high school spirit of "clicks", that undermine positive feeling of belonging and wanting to keep attending.

I started attending SOUTHCOAST Church about 8 years ago with my wife. We realized immediately that…read morethe Spirit of the LORD was present in fullness...so this became our home church.

Pastor Rino and the worship team lead you into the very Throne Room of God each Sunday...to worship and to hear from Jesus.

We walked blocks towards this place heading to see the Folk Orchestra of Santa Barbara. I didn't see any immediate parking lots, and the street parking was filled to the max. 1.) I will say that for a concert in warm weather, the place can get a bit stuffy. Ventilation wasn't that good, but the church, the reception areas and restroom areas are clean and massive. 2.) the concert sound quality wasn't as great as I hoped. Maybe more mics on the instruments were needed? More speakers needed? I'm not quite sure Bonus points for them letting us finish the rest of our intermission wine inside of the Chapel. Hallelujah, Cheers

Pass security and bam, best Mercado every Fiestas!…read more The go-to items include elote (roasted corn), tamales (chicken or pork), Agra frescas (pineapple or strawberry are my fav), and pasole (awesome soup). With games and entertainment, plus alcohol for those who wish to partake, this Mercado is by far the best food and atmosphere. Plus, it benefits a local organization immensely and isn't full of just visitors. After a nice meal, head to the Courthouse for an evening of dancing under the stars!

Guadalupe church is way off the beaten path but it's no longer a secret location during Fiesta's…read more This is the place you want to come to for good authentic Mexican food. It opens the week of Fiesta's on Friday at noon, and it lasts through Sunday. They have the most authentic food and the most popular choices among customers are the tamales and posole. I've tried the taquitos, flautas, roasted corn, and tri-tip sandwiches. They are all delicious!! They don't allow you to bring in confetti eggs so leave those in your car or you will be asked to dispose of them. C'mon now is it that serious? They are just eggs! Parking is kind of hectic to find since you have to park in the neighborhoods surrounding the church so come with patience.
