Re-launced church formerly Faith Baptist Church…read more I have attended Apostles since the launch back in January. The community there has become a second family to me! The Pastor, Daniel, is gifted in preaching but also very intentional in making you feel welcome! There isn't SO many people that you get lost in the hustle of Sundays. They have monthly events to get you plugged in and meeting people quickly! If you are looking for a new place to worship, COME CHECK IT OUT!

This is a wonderful little church with wonderful heart-felt worship, a congregation of all ages…read moreyoung and old, sweet children programs, wonderful teen program with wonderful teen leaders, and often-times even lunch for ALL afterwards. The community is rather remarkable as they are welcoming to new visitors AND kind to one another regularly. My family thoroughly enjoyed our visits here and we have many of our close friends who call this church home.

My husband and I left a church here in Santa Barbara over a year ago searching for a church who…read moreadheres to God's word..God brought us to Shoreline..So grateful to God that we found this church..

My family moved to Santa Barbara one year ago. We had a wonderful and supportive church in…read moreGuatemala. We were referred to Shoreline Community Church by my wife's cousin. We actually had a dispute as to if I should reveiw the church. My only statement is - Christ would weep in embarrassment and rebuke in truth and needed corrections. We will not be returning after our three visits and the sermons ( my wife agreed ) were rudimentary. Clearly education and seminary credentials were lacking. It was not the warmest or very welcoming and there was something that our children did not like. We had a family meeting and we decided to end my contract at the school early and we are starting a ministry in our country. We pray for Shoreline Community Church, the pastor and Santa Barabra, California. It is a beautiful place.

This place is seriously incredible! It's gorgeous and offers expansive views of Santa Barbara down…read morebelow. Great event space with both indoor and outdoor options for people to hang out. Huge parking lot with access right next to the church. The event space offers a lot of natural light with windows and doors that open up to a patio space. The patio also has a fireplace, which would be nice for a cold Santa Barbara evening. The buildings make for beautiful back drops in photos. It honestly feels like you're in Greece with the beautiful white architecture.

Beautiful church with gorgeous views. I'm not a parishioner but have attended a few services here…read moreand a couple of weddings. Community here is small and close-knit (like our parish in San Luis Obispo), unlike other huge churches I've visited in LA. This location is still big enough though to offer extras like Greek/Sunday school and Greek dance classes (and even forms competitive troops for FDF). Nice church! If I was a Santa Barbara-ite I would definitely be calling this place home. :)

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.

I spot checked a number of facts and they got all correct, including some events often mis-reported…read morein standard texts. Although intended for Catholic Schools, these texts would work well in any American school. For better or worse (and definitely better for accuracy), Catholics (Copernicus, Vivaldi, etc.) are included in the narrative, with an even-handed approach, and with proper emphasis on inflluential events. I particularly appreciate the cross-discipline coverage - melding politics, art, military, science, religious traditions, etc. These are usually glossed over or mis-covered in text from the large publishers.
