We stopped by the welcome booth, where a friendly couple gave us a brief overview of the church and answered our questions with a smile. They even gave us coupons for free coffee! After the service, we enjoyed a delicious coffee (worth over $5) at the on-site cafe right next to the church.

I used to attend this church…read more If you want a community that will shun you out and exclude you from others, this is your place. The Final Straw with Grace was when I asked Sexual Freedom Ministry for prayers with my anger for the disregard of my wellbeing and self at the church. I later received a phone call stating, "They weren't equipped to handle my issue, and the MINISTRY isn't either." You're telling me the ONLY reason I'd show up on campus, to attend that ministry to find freedom from my trauma ISN'T COMPATIBLE WITH ME? and Cannot HELP ME?? The remaining community that I knew would shut me out as always.. Yeah. I despise this church now. It is disgusting. Here's my Google review of it: Been attending the church for a year and a house church For nearly a year. I noticed a clique and I know some people would never try to initate any conversation or get to know me the entire year. Stuff went down and I've apologized, but I know I truly don't want to be around people who don't care if I leave Christianity. No matter how I tried to be relatable or get to know others, I say a few shut me down. I know where their head is at with me, despite having good intentions. Some times when I would attend HC, apart from the leaders. I felt ignored somehow. Some people are very kind and loving, but expect few people to make judgments and never take the time to know you. This is a YP house church on Thursdays. The leaders are great. I love them. I won't lie about my feelings and experience. I wish those leaders the best, and to whom ever tried making me feel welcome. I will always remember and appreciate you. I know God is sending me away from that area, because why would you stay where you don't feel welcome all the time? I did speak to a few people, one in particular who I saw ignored me. Had a discussion about it, and when I apologized, I forgave them to. God still had shown me their true colors. Despite where you are... people see you and still ignore you, then lie or try to play nice about wanting you to attend (This person was not a leader). I share this experience for people to be wary and always recognized, no matter what setting you attend to, even church, sometimes you will be excluded. It's ridiculous because people that showed up less than 2 months ago were still more welcome than me. Invited into the clique. I've seen it all and proven my case that these people dont care. I apologized to those people publicly for telling the entire groupchat everything i saw, and how I was still excluded. They still act like I dont exist when I'm right there in front of them. I tried to invite them out for a hike before.. only one person showed up. I noticed when I was mentioning it as an announcement, the person I called out for not truly caring was scrolling on their phone as I was actively speaking. I dont ever want to feel that way in front of anyone ever again. I do not recommend attending that house church. I even asked people for breakfast. When I did it. Nobody responded. Nobody. But everyone will respond for other people besides me. Still grateful to have gone. Hopefully it will be much better at a different house church. If not. This place is not for me. For the second time, I was rejected from working with the children. I mentioned my experience and everything. I've attended an old house church For nearly a year, left because of all the reasons explained and more. I was rejected. A second time, I was rejected. What is worse is people that have been there for less time than me (two months) were accepted. The hypocrisy is unreal. I know I am not welcome by several people. I know this church does not want me here. I know I'm better off where people don't welcome me. To add ontop. I was attending a Sexual Freedom Ministry for freedom and everything. I told them groupchat how I left Grace and do not feel welcome. They called me to tell me they dont feel equipped to handle that issues, and the MINISTRY COULDNT HELP ME God help me. Rejected every damn where. This place is truly isolating. No community here.

Miles, the lead pastor of the church has a special spiritual gift of reaching all types of people. With his biblical teachings coupled with his personal testimonies, wisdom, and discernment his message is powerful, moving, and motivating. In addition, with many others of the church that share their spiritual journeys, along with special guests as well allow for significant spiritual growth and life-changing transformations to happen. I feel that my life feels more gratifying. satisfying, more peaceful, more loving, grounding, forgiving, and really my eyes consistently focused on God because of the difference the San Diego Rock church has made in my life. The San Diego Rock church is great for spiritual growth as well as connecting with like-minded people, but it's how you decide to live your life once you leave church on a daily basis. So many people have transformed their lives for the better, not perfect but improved due to continued spiritual inspiration that the San Diego Rock church represents. No matter what church you attend, I hope it is a powerful, inspiring, and life changing journey for your life. May you be blessed!

This is a Christian church so God ( Father, son, Holy Spirit) first . It values families,…read moremarriages, and young adults, and teens. Pastor Miles and Pastor Travis speak biblical truth, as do all the Pastor's of The Rock. God is a constant. God doesn't change just because society has. The worship is Holy Spirit filled! The times I walk in feeling down, teared up and message speaks to me and I'm encouraged. Walk in during service and you even feel a rush of wind hit you as you enter the sanctuary( Holy Spirit) the breeze way, is a welcome as you join the service. People will pray with you after service if you need prayer. The Rock may be a large church, but This church has many small groups you can be part of bible studies or activity based groups and find community. There are many volunteer opportunities which are fun and many events to be part of. The Rock has regular food/provisions for the people of San Diego and has been a large church since I've known and been part of to care for the people of San Diego county . Has groups for married people, groups for young adults, parents, singles, etc. Teen camps, and young adult events are lively and well attended. The church has many other church locations/extensions locally in San Diego and Hawaii. I love that there is the "third option" We put our trust in Jesus, and not focus and get pulled into the things of the world and how those things may be trying to make us divisive of each other. I've attended other churches since living in SD but this has been where God has my family and I for the past 7 years. Thank you Jesus for this Church our faith and relationship in Jesus has only grown stronger .

Immediately I felt welcomed and knew this was a church that provided sermons that were not misleading, even when I did not want to hear it, and kept my attention, which was very important to me. The fact that they provide complementary coffee and refreshments is just an example to the kindness that you see within this church. Although it is small and the parking may not be ideal at times, I understand that they are in the midst of finding a home to accommodate everyone and those new like myself. I always joke around with my mom on the phone and say I will cry if I ever have to move and leave this church because I finally found one that resonates with me. If you are wondering about attending, don't hesitate, the Lord is calling you here, and even if I had to move back... I would drive here just to attend. Stay blessed! -Gabby

In the last 3 years, we have developed strong relationships with friends, been fed spiritually in numerous growth groups, and become plugged in to serve the church in the worship, childcare, and production teams. We love this church so much, we love its people, we love its commitment to spiritual growth and outreach, and we love how it has equipped us to commit to putting Jesus at the center of our lives and our marriage. I highly recommend checking this church out if you're looking for fresh, fun, scripture-first messages. I am biased, but our worship team is next level. If you're on the fence about Jesus or your faith, take a moment and stop by the Grove.

Their website is AWESOME and has all the information you'll need. I look forward to attending in person soon!

Whereas another church literally turned her away for not being able to attend catechism classes (bc she is in and out of hospital) the cathedral got her a personal teacher to work on her schedule. I am however heartbroken and do not feel welcomed by them. I started OCIA in September, and have been denied my sacraments with no communication as to why. Office is non responsive, no one replies to their emails, and no one seems to know what is going on. I keep getting the "I will check with Father Peter and get back to you" Easter vigil has come and gone and I am left out in the cold. I really wanted to be in a state of grace before giving birth, but seems I have wasted a year on OCIA at this location and will have to move parishes if I want to get anything done.
