I found this wonderful church on YELP, The Well in Poway, and I felt that I should also provide a…read morereview to encourage others who may be looking for a church to visit and consider joining. Before coming out for a visit, I called and spoke with a Co-Pastor, Ruth Ann, and she was so gracious and attentive on the phone, answering all of my questions and listening to what I felt were my own unique needs. I was simply trying to find a warm and welcoming community of believers, so that my relatives could have a chance to experience the transformational power of God in their lives. I know....this is a "big ask," right? But the most amazing thing that could happen took place that day where instead of a sermon, we had the opportunity to hear directly from the church members about how God was indeed working in their lives. It was a very powerful experience for us, especially since this was our first time there. Before, during, and after the service, we felt welcomed and comfortable that we were in the right place. One of my unique requests was to find a church that has members who are both English and Spanish speakers, and I found it here! Indeed, we stayed after service and spoke with Ruth Ann in English, and spoke in Spanish with some church members. What comes across is that the Pastors and the members here are not in church to perform rituals, deliver sermons, nod in agreement with each other, and then go home. Instead, they really are there to serve God and each other with their lives and this comes across in all they do. I know this is based on one visit, but my relatives have continued going to The Well and they are being blessed as a result. I would gladly drive down from Los Angeles again to continue visiting in the future. Thanks to the YELP community for helping me find this place.

Before I list the pros and cons I want to let the reader know that this is not a criticism of…read moreCornerstone but a critique. Criticism is often intended to hurt people, whereas a critique identifies things that are good and bad (in the eyes of the beholder I might add.) It appears that this church is in the building process and their are many opportunities for growth. It is a warm friendly church with much to offer. *** Observations Pastor is a mid west style preacher Seems they have developed organization over organism, so programs and events are driving the church whereas our preference would be an organism that is driving the need for organization Appears to have an attendance of about 300 over three services A well balanced mix of young and old parishners *** Pro's This is a well run church that is obviously conservative and Bible based Seems that from an organizational standpoint they are on their way Evangelical message with an obvious passion for the lost Friendly greeting by very nice people Excellent help with children and information Nice campus in a nice neighborhood The worship band was talented The kids loved their Sunday School *** Con's The point of the pastors sermon was lost on all of us Pastor used lots of verses but he was all over the place and we were not able to keep up with him or discern what he wanted us to get out of it No cell/community life groups, they do however, have some small groups that meet weekly The worship leader sings out of key most of the time The song selection was not inspiring and rather worn out We assume the group could all sing, the only voice you could hear was the worship leader The drums drowned out the rest of the instruments and vocalists, it is a shame the sound was mixed so poorly because the other players were good musicians that could have added much to the impact of the music

I am forever grateful that God led us here. I'm not a church person for the longest time and I've changed. We have changed and it was such a great feeling. The pastors are very humble, care about you, and really their goal is to encourage you to be closer to God. We don't feel like we're being guilty of such things. We're very comfortable here.

We found Great Bible based preaching in easy to understand and spiritually challenging. Pastor Balcombe preaches Sound Biblical Doctrine and is a a true bible believing man of God. The church supports many worthwhile missionaries around the world and definitely have a heart to save those who are looking to learn more about God/Jesus/and Holy spirit. There are many opportunities to join in to get to know the congregation. Bunko, Chili Cook Off, Pot Lucks, Beach outings. Bible studies for men, women and young adults. There is coffee and donuts after church and this is a nice time to meet and fellowship. The youth group led by Pastor Jeff meets 6-9 PM Saturday night for Food, games, Music/worship and a message for the youth. Lots of activities including summer and winter camps. The children's church teaches the bible in an easy to understand way. My son looks forward to going to "Children's Church" especially for the Bible stories, games and art projects. The church has an Easter Egg Hunt, Children singing Christmas songs, Trunk or Treat and other activities for the children. Everyone is welcome. It is safe, scriptural, friendly. Feel free to come and visit. God loves you. We are God's family. *Hear the message on You Tube- Living Way Church-Poway also on the internet.

This used to be a wonderful, welcoming parish. I have been a member for decades. Lately, though,…read moresince the old pastor retired and a new "interim" one has been appointed, things have really changed, and not for the better. For example, a friend who has asthma respectfully requested that incense for the Triduum be done in an appropriate, but "lighter" way, so she could attend. She loves the Triduum, and attending means a great deal to her. The pastor flatly refused. She was heartbroken and practically in tears at his insensitive treatment of her. She has been an active member of this parish practically her whole life. I could easily cite other examples of negative things happening at this parish. The interim pastor should be gone in a few months, but the damage is being done and may not be so easy to reverse. AMDG.

From the moment we walked up, we were warmly greeted, given a quick tour, and introduced to other members. Within the first 30 minutes of that first service, my wife and I looked at each other and said, "This is going to be our home church." I've never once felt judged here--neither for how I look nor for my past. Pastor Jerry and Pastor Tami have impacted our family's life in ways that are hard to put into words. The church also uses the Church Center app, which makes it easy to sign up for small groups and stay connected with upcoming events. Our family highly recommends this church. It has truly become home for us.

They say they live by the Bible. However, do NOT ever question it or quote the scriptures that contradict what they teach. I made that mistake and I was literally escorted out of the service by Pastor Nick and Pastor Gabe and told that I am no longer welcome to attend. Never in my life have I ever been kicked out of a church for asking questions. I mean isn't that the job of the pastors, to teach!? It was utterly ridiculous and embarrassing. What is even more shocking is the lead pastor taught on forgiveness about 2 weeks prior but apparently that doesn't apply to everyone. I do NOT recommend this church.
