Karla Lightner (senior minister) is full of Spirit's Love as she shares her messages of Hope, Self-Love and Love of others in the spirit of Unity. Rev. Gretchen Pena, Rev. Ken Fendrick and Rev. Blair Tabor also speak on various Sundays. Each message is inspiring and full of practical Christianity (things I use to improve my own life and the lives of others). Connecting with Divine Spirit is our priority. Sunday service at 10:00 am is a great time for me! The church also has guest speakers, workshops and guest musicians - every one is special. The first time I attended, I was filled with (happy) tears and knew I had found my church home...that was about 37 years ago. Check us out!

Absolutely gorgeous temple…read more Came here for the first time this year. They have their own private parking lot. We came here late on a friday night around 7pm, and to my surprise, there was almost no one there. I'd assume that this place gets more packed in the daytime. It's a very quiet place, but beautiful environment to take photos. The front outdoor patio area is fully decorated from floor to sky. Completely covered with lanterns on top, A wall adorned with more lanterns, and a wall covered with chinese umbrellas. And we have inside, where we make our prayers and blessings, make sure you take your shoes off before entering! Also beautifully decorated in honor of Buddha. You can spend quite some time here. Must see!

Not sure if free vegetarian food is offered every Sunday but the day I went, it did. It was delicious and people are so nice & kind and keep offering me more. A must visit if you want to try out their delicious vegetarian food & a place to pray and find peace. I have heard they have also started monthly meditation sessions. Will check it out one of these days.

I came here today with my dad and uncle to visit my mom's urn that has been placed in this temple…read morefor almost 2 years. When my mom was still with us, we visited this temple every Lunar New Year. Now that she's gone, we still keep the tradition. My parents were devout worshippers who dedicated every Sunday towards volunteering here, rain or shine, year round. Parking here is a bit challenging since the city converted all of the nearby street parking into bike lanes on either side of the road. Honestly, I do not see the point in this because I have yet to see a biker in the many times I've visited this temple! You have to be creative and find parking along other streets. This temple is known for its excellent vegetarian food at a very reasonable price. Even Phuong Trang restaurant orders vegetarian egg rolls from them in bulk. You have to try their egg rolls, it's pretty amazing! On Sundays, there is complimentary food at noon for fellow worshippers. They really go all out and the food is great! Definitely check it out!

I wanted to get on here since I have been coming to the Balboa campus for around 7 years. I truly…read moreappreciate how Awaken is built to bring you into understanding that you are loved, valued, cherished... they have a whole event called "Cherish" for women!! It's incredible and such a wonderful experience to truly understand how God loves us individually since they know there's a Spirit of the Living God that can speak through people. I just want to say that I have heard the Pastors speak countless times and I don't feel like it's all about money. They are simply concerned that people may not see the value of putting a little money in the hands of God. They use the money for sooo many good causes..several missions trips a year and sooo much more. One time I brought a man in serious need of help and he got into a literal rehab where he received the medicine he needed for free because of a program they have at Awaken. The man even gave his life to Jesus and told me this afterwards. He's not drinking anymore. Thanks Pastor Mark! The recovery program is probably THE BEST because it's getting to a root cause of sooo many issues based on relationships that formed us at a young age. We learn to heal all issues revolving around Love Addiction, Codependency, Drug, and Alcohol Addiction among other issues. I just don't recall Pastor Becky or Jon ever going on about nice things...in fact they haven't talked about their home which they went through sooooo much to acquire. I go to women's prayer every Tuesday as well and they set aside time to pray for the nation since it's really a game changing principle to not only pray powerfully without fear or shame but come boldly before Our Father in Heaven because he wants to Yes & Amen our Words!! The Lead Pastor Jergen always says, "We will eat the fruit of our words!" So why not declare with beautiful, life giving words. Also, to add that they are a fashionable bunch but I actually now don't spend money on clothes!!! I have gotten away from a serious addiction to shopping. I think you have to attend a church for a good while to get a fair assessment and then share your testimony in a good Yelp Review!!! :) One more thing though...just that the church has really changed my whole life. Why? Because I think humans tend to be offended and I needed to understand the perspective that I had. I needed to forgive others ... And then myself. I couldn't continue to hear others in a healthy way if I was not healthy myself. I really think getting around people who are super loving and supportive in Connect groups changed that for me. Along with the vision I needed for buying my dream car and other things that are not as important as my transformation internally but indicative of the heart change because I look to God for answers when I need it since I am not married and well, he's there for me! Never ever fails!

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.

We have found it to be a beautiful and filled not with strangers but rather friends we had not yet met! The Sunday service is in English and is an hour long from 10:30-11:30. The Mandarin service occurs at the same time and is located in the fellowship hall. At least once a month we all come together after the Sunday services for lunch which costs $4.00. There are many other Sunday lunches offered such as Chinese New Years, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Summer Retreat, Thanksgiving & Christmas. The beautiful services are available on YouTube. We have found the Wednesday prayer meeting on Zoom to be a dedicated group of people who believe in the power of prayer, and faithfully pray for many who have serious challenges to their health. Our church supports many missionaries to places such as Baja, Africa, Japan And ministry projects to the Middle East.Periodically we have these missionaries come and share their progress. We also pray for and support Samaritans' Purse with outreach to our country as well as world wide ministry to people in need. Our pastors are engaging and bring practical ways we can bring our Christian belief in loving our neighbors and colleagues in life. This church also has Sunday school and nursery programs as well as a Panda Preschool Program. Once a month there is an optional Panda Chapel service for 30 minutes to bring Bible stories and songs to toddlers! If you are looking for a church that encourages you to love God and your neighbors, to read the Bible with joy and pray daily with faith that God truly hears and directs our path in this life, consider joining us in 2025!
