You can offer to make free cupcakes for events and get an arrogantly delivered 'paper thin' excuse as to why not. At least the main pastor tries to talk to people, but even he seems too aloof to know what ever is really going on around him. Pretty nice basic cafe and clean facilities. Overall, their biblical teachings seem really on point. But my complaints, along with this church being a bit too far away from where we live, (we were convinced to drive all the way from vista by someone we know who lived near this church) has made us decide to go back to a Calvary Chapel. I used to go to one when I lived in another state. There are several around San Diego county. Can't go wrong at that place, especially if you're still more of a 'non denominational' type of Christian.

This church is a nuisance in the community. From 5 am "praise music" blaring from the speakers, to…read moredrummers banging away at 11pm, it has made our haven of a community a nightmare. 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.

I was referred by a family member who has been coming for years and they were so right! From the beginning and even now the treatment of respect and understanding from staff to the congregation is all there. The events they put on to help bring you closer to your faith and to communicate with other people is a bonus rather than just a normal Sunday service(s). I have been service with them shortly after and can say even behind the scene's they take the challenges head on to make sure that all are welcome no matter what and that the children even have a great experience so that way the adults can encounter God. I love to call this church our church family. Its not a church you attend but a family where you belong.

Father Jim is a priest's priest w/ a terrific sense of humor who gladly shares the TRUTH of our faith. I especially like having the opportunity to kneel for Holy Communion & the generous amount of time given to the Exposition of the Sacred Body of Christ during Eucharistic Adoration. The Altar Society is active & reverent & there are a surprising number of reverent younger men in the Knights of Columbus. Weekly talks are given in the hall by visiting scholars & the community enjoys wonderful opportunities to "break bread" with one another at social events & the delicious Lenten Fish Fry. (ALSO love those dedicated cooks at 1st Sunday of the Month Taco & Enchilada sales - shout out to Maria!!) I have recently moved to a very nice parish in Fort Worth, but do miss the MOST IMPACTFUL parish I have ever belonged to, St John the Evangelist.

As I had recently attended another tour organized by them I knew that this would not disappoint. Oh my, it exceeded expectations! I would not enter the post-modern architectural label by Charles Moore, as another fellow Yelper has said it all with details. I will tell you how this place made me feel. The Church of Nativity made me feel at home, welcomed, nurtured. The presenter/tour guide is a lawyer who grew up attending it and still does. He did an excellent job making people welcome (we were many attendees) and answered the questions with grace and knowledge. Thanks so much to him and all that participated. The gardens with orange trees are wonderful and peaceful. I loved the asymmetry in the disposition of the seating areas, the cross not placed where you would expect, the minimalism, the pristine state of everything. My favorite thing was the stars sculpture/lights adorning the altar. That is so unique. Never seen that at any church and just the craftsmanship, design and quality of materials is impressive. Another favorite part were those unique stained glass windows. So enchanting. It was a very sensorial experience for me, even if no music was played, I think I heard a celestial choir direct from heaven! A must visit hidden gem (whether you are spiritually inclined or not).
