I would give only one star based on their employment practices, they only gain the second star…read morethanks to their weekend services. Pastors Neil, Mike, and Dave are great at delivering uplifting messages to their congregations. Working for this church, however, is a totally different experience. I'm only speaking about my time working for the facilities/maintenance department... the director has no idea how many labor laws are being violated under her management. She plays favorites to younger, and more often Caucasian employees, most often to the males. I am homeless, started working there and was an immediate success story. Soon I was showing other employees tricks of the trades, helping the department develop in a positive way. At the same time I was starting to rebuild my life and their management was aware of this. After 6 months I was starting to piece my life together, when I was informed I was being laid off for budget cuts. Yet, they hired a new person and merely shifted my work load to the directors husband. No cuts made. Just traded a Hispanic homeless man for two Caucasian men who were not homeless. Now I have to start all over, and for nothing more than racial discrimination. Pretty ugly for a Christian church.

Finally Found Home at Hope City…read more I walked into Hope City Church at a time when I was searching, feeling lost, and needing something more in my life--and I can honestly say, I've found exactly what I was looking for. From the moment I arrived, there was a genuine sense of welcome, purpose, and community. Pastor Eric Rountree and Pastor Jennifer Rountree are true pillars--not just within the church, but in the broader community as well. Their leadership is authentic, compassionate, and grounded, and it shows in everything they do. Hope City isn't just a place you attend--it's a place where you belong. If you're searching for a church home, this is where you'll feel seen, supported, and spiritually renewed. Highly recommend.

I came to Hope City about 7 months ago. I had been through a very difficult couple of years. I was…read moreso nervous to walk into a church again after several years of being out of fellowship. What I found at Hope City is a gathering of people who genuinely care. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. It's truly a "come as you are" environment. The worship is dynamic and helps me to lay aside the things of the previous week and focus on the Lord. But the best thing of all is that sitting under and applying Pastor Eric's teaching has changed my life. Every week I am encouraged, corrected and empowered to live my life as Christ would without feeling judged or condemned. I'm so grateful to have found this church. If you're looking for a church home I highly recommend Hope City.

The Pastors and Leaders are Horrible they Think they are all So Great Up on Stage and Won't Help…read morePeople when Asked. I Asked Several of the Pastors for Help and they Denied Me. They were also Rude to Me like they are all Super Holy and Perfect trying to Tell Me I'm not Good Enough to become a Leader there unless I Kiss Their Butts like Everything they Do is Super Awesome and You have to Say Pastor Miles McPherson is the Best Pastor Ever and He is Not. It's like a Cult there where You have to Praise Them and Everything They Do like it's the Best Thing on this Planet Earth. All Thumbs Down

We found Kaleo church and decided to check it out. I am always nervous when checking out a new church, but we were welcomed right away! There was no time to feel awkward as everyone was so warm and inviting - something that is hard to find in your larger churches. I didn't realize how much I had missed actually being noticed and not feeling like "just another face in the crowd." Besides feeling extremely welcomed, I also very much appreciated the praise and worship and sermon-style. The message was deep and thoughtful. I left feeling filled and blessed. We will definitely be back for future "date nights."

I am biased - I attend Kaleo Church and have for over two years. We are a church of people who…read morerealize our great need for Jesus; we aren't perfect and often times fail each other, but the grace we receive through our precious Savior Jesus Christ, is BIGGER than our failures and reminds us that grace abounds and covers a multitude of sins. Daily we repent and thank our heavenly Father for ushering us into His presence by the blood of Christ so we can commune with a holy God who loves us perfectly and deeply. Our pastor, Tim Cain, brings the gospel every week! This is not a church where there is a pushing aside or sugar coating of truth - God has gifted Pastor Tim with great passion to share the gospel to ALL walks of life at no expense. It is a costly call, but worth it to him. We are blessed to have been given a pastor who desires to shepherd his flock well and care for us first spiritually. The people at Kaleo have big hearts for the El Cajon community and the homeless. We don't dress very fancy, the homeless join us for Saturday service and at our Missional Communities, and you will often see beards and tattoos. There is a big college-age community as well. We have a group of people with hearts for the SDCC students. A lot of the students and graduates attend our church. It's awesome the dynamic God has allowed our church to have. God has graciously allowed us to realize the truth of being all part of one body (without preference), with the Christ as our head through the diversity He has brought into this congregation. Kaleo church is more than a name and a building. It is a community of people who adore Jesus, who are learning to surrender their lives wholly to live according to His ways, and who delight in sharing the Good News with anyone who wants to listen...even those who may not.

After the service, we enjoyed a delicious coffee (worth over $5) at the on-site cafe right next to the church.

As an example today Pastor Michael quoted at least 7 or more verses! Pastor Michael and Pastor Lisa are the most fun and loving pastors! They bring joy and realness and power to the house of God!

Skyline church is the real deal and the real message of God is spoke. I was there this last weekend…read morefor the Come Holy Spirit conference that was held there. The structure itself was a work of God. They honor all the Martyrs of God with their names engraved on the ground concrete slabs around there church. I can tell you this is a spirit filled church and the word of God is not watered down. People will get offended if they want a nice sugar coated message so they can feel good for the week. I am glad this church does NOT do that. I heard the lead pastor Jim Garlow speak and he had such a brilliant intellectual message on people of the past who sparked revival. As for the flags like the one person who commented below cried about. Israel flag. you want to know why it is there? number one the scriptures you are pulling are completely irrelevant. I will set you straight since you are so into king Jesus. 1.Israel is the apple of Gods eye 2.
