This "church" used to be North Park Baptist Church that my family and friends attended for years and years until "Makers" came to share our building for whatever reason happened to their establishment and not only did they never leave they took over and changed everything about our loving beautiful nondenominational church where our amazing pastor Glenn and his beautiful wife Glenda lead us in service. Long story short 95% of our congregation left. Scattered. I would ordinarily give my negative opinions about Makers church but I'm really trying to be the good Christian my Pastor Glenn taught me to be so check it out for yourself. God Bless them and you. read more

I was church hopping for a year or so, I wanted a church with a strong community, messages that were very rooted in scripture, a diverse church, and most importantly I wanted a church that challenged its members to live out their faith and grow in their faith consistently. I'm so glad I began attending makers! read more

My life partner and I figured we try this church, as it seemed open to all humans regardless of differences. So unfortunately this was a bad experience and on Easter of all days smh. This church comes off like it wants diversity but it definitely doesn't celebrate it or welcome it. I'm a blk female (didn't dress feminine enough i guess smh)& my partner is white female so from the time we entered the premises even while leaving the members Stared at us like we were aliens or animals. This includes several "church officials" that were staring but also never even welcomed us. One official avoided us. But what took the cake for us was a male "usher" (he was slim, with a blonde man bun)who Went out of his way to welcome my wife who is White but wouldn't say one word to me while standing next to her and INFRONT of him. Absolutely disturbing &sad! Persue god organically and directly on your own. I've gain so much healing, & love in my heart spending time with god that this didn't even anger me. Even with the many social injustices happening and to have people at church live up to the negativity most people say keeps them away from it. This review is for other black Americans, diverse people & lgbtq as yet again a warning. You deserve to be treated right like everybody else& god loves you unconditionally. read more

When we were looking for a new Church home we knew what we were looking for but we weren't sure if we would find it. The instant we walked into Makers Church we knew we had found our new home. Everyone was genuinely friendly, sincere and no one was afraid to be themselves. The authenticity is really what stood out to us. The worship was heartfelt and honest and the messages each week were relatable. Our son was only six weeks old when we began attending and the Nursery team was just fantastic. We felt comfortable leaving him there knowing he was receiving great care while we were in service. Each and every person we have met that serves in Makers Kids is truly awesome! We have been in Church for quite some time and still leave each and every Sunday having learned something new. Every pastor on staff speaks on Sunday's which keeps things fresh and provides lots of different perspectives. We love our Makers family and we are so thankful to belong to such an incredible community. read more

My family and I absolutely love Makers Church. We moved to San Diego a little over two years ago and visited Makers (Mosaic SD at that time) with family friends. We immediately felt at home. Each week, we encounter God through worship and messages that speak directly to our hearts. With young children, we desire a church that prioritizes ministering to our kiddos. Makers teaches my children about God's love while loving on them every Sunday. Makers is much more than a church. It is my community and my family. read more

A little bit about me: I've "played church" my whole life and didn't get to encounter the true living God until recently. Makers was one of the reasons why. TL;DR Makers turns the stigmas of church on their head. They are a welcoming, kind, cool bunch you won't be disappointed to meet. If you're looking for a church, I don't doubt you'd find a good home here :) 4 reasons I love this church: 1) The Leadership. I have never met such a welcoming staff. Sometimes you step into a church intimidated by the "untouchable" nature of the Pastor. Other times, the Pastors seem to downright stare into your soul (hehe). Pastors Derrick, Marc, and Chalese are not those Pastors. They are regular people like you and me, using their gifts to drop wisdom and show love to their full extent. Their teaching is some of my favorite: I learn something new about the Word; I feel the heart of Jesus; I'm drawn to know and love Him and others more. I love how they use modern text to create comparisons to the Bible, too--specifically Marc. I'm a literature buff myself so I appreciate this! I've talked to these three outside of Sunday gatherings and they are as cool and kind as... well, regular people. And yet so loving. You can tell they really care for you and the whole Makers Family. Pastors Derrick, Marc, and Chalese are humble, intelligent, loving, warm, and so welcoming. 2) The Atmosphere. Speaking of welcoming, this church is shaped to make EVERYONE feel welcome. Christianity should not be about requiring people to check off boxes and "be good people" (we are only saved by grace through faith, not good works!), yet so many churches make Christians feel this way. Makers is not like that. They welcome you and meet you where you are, so you don't have to put up a front. Jesus met the most broken in their paths; He didn't require them to clean up their act first. Makers really walks out the heart of Jesus this way. 3) The Creativity! God was the original Creator and made us all in His image, so I believe we all have the power to create something. Whether that's making art or making an atmosphere more inviting, your gift is unique. Makers' is filled with Creatives overflowing with gifts, from the Worship team which saaangs every Sunday, to the spoken word delivered on stage, to the amazing videographers, to the Creative meet-ups they have, and more! And it's not like a pretentious creativity, moreso a celebration of the gifts given by our Maker. Even if you feel you don't have a gift I'm sure this church will draw something beautiful out of you, because that's who God is :) 4) Community and Community Outreach I know what it's like to attend churches and be hungry for community outreach. After all, Jesus tells us to love our neighbor! Makers leads the way in loving their neighbors. I got to meet people on the streets and shower them with prayers, kindness, and a care package with Makers. They are currently pushing sign-ups to help train refugees in job interviews. Their heart really is to help others. And, with community, Makers is really stepping up their game to make a pocket for everybody. Meetup groups in homes; Baptism day and hangout at the beach; Creative gathering in another home... they really are into solidifying community. read more

I was brand spankin' new to San Diego and didn't know a soul. I knew I wanted to find a church, but being the skeptic, I am, I was hesitant. One Sunday, I mustered up the courage to try out a church in Point Loma and was running late (per usual) and passed a ton of people outside in front of a pink building (makers when it was at PLM). I figured, what the heck. I'm late anyways, might as well pull in here and check this place out. I can't really tell you in a review all the feels I had during that first service at Makers, but I finally felt like I was safe. 9 Months later, Makers is becoming more like family everyday. It's just a bunch of misfits trying to figure life out together - my favorite. If you're looking for a perfect set list and cool lights, Makers is not the place and I'd like to keep it that way. Jesus is not impressed by our level of "perfection" but is drawn to the broken. The more aware we are of our brokenness and the more free we are to talk about it, the more He can work.   Just give it a shot. Come on Sunday! read more

I've been attending Makers for 3 years now and I absolutely love it! It was the first church I tried after moving back to San Diego and I knew I had found my church home. I highly recommend joining a community group when you start attending- I did and got connected with amazing people who supported me and welcomed me. The whole pastoral staff are excellent speakers and bring great messages and the whole church is full of awesome people that I am lucky to call friends! read more

I came to Mosaic after a nearly 5 year break from church in general. I had went to a few different churches and had been praying that wherever I was supposed to end up would be made clear to me. From the moment I stepped in the doors of Mosaic I was greeted with a hug and the place has been home ever since. This is an amazing church to live out your faith in- when you want to get involved there's no shortage of areas to help out at Mosaic. From the "Love our block" initiative Mosaic is doing to reach out to our neighbors on the street to the numerous outreaches, projects, and community groups, Mosaic is an amazing place to be. Derrick, Marc, and Chalese give some inspiring and deep messages, meant to help us really look at our lives, our goals, and help us focus on Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life. This is a great place to belong and a great place to work on refining yourself and your relationship with God. read more

Our family was welcomed and greeted at the door with smiles and hellos! Amazing Worship team!!! Music is awesome! Family friendly Church with great lessons for kids to learn God's word! Welcoming and inviting! Entertaining and practical messages to learn about Jesus and to learn God's WORD!! Makers Church thank you for showing our family GOD'S LOVE AND FOR YOUR KINDNESS! Check it out! I am recommending this Church to all my friends and family!!!! read more

When I started "church shopping" in San Diego, I knew exactly what I was looking for but wasn't sure I would be able to find it. The moment I walked through the doors of Makers Church, I knew I was home. The community oriented/*we do life together no matter what* environment that Makers has truly gives you a sense of belonging and purpose. I am so thankful for this community and the impact it has had on my life and can't wait to watch it continue to grow and flourish. read more

When I first moved to San Diego, I went to a few churches before I came to Makers. This was the first church where I felt at home. Everyone is really nice and welcoming. I love the small family feel. It's a community of genuine caring people. Worship is amazing! read more

This church is very socially liberal, politically far left in its messaging, and tries to be "woke". Good luck being a moderate who can see both sides of a political issue. If that's what you are looking for, then this is your place. read more

Love love love Mosaic! Highly recommended. My husband and I moved to San Diego just a few months ago knowing very few people. I had heard of Mosaic from a friend who moved to LA and attended the Mosaic campus there, and she loved it, so we decided to give the SD campus a try. It was the first church we tried out after moving here and while we were planning on looking into other churches as well, we knew it wasn't necessary for us after our first Sunday there. We were greeted so warmly and met a handful of amazing people our first visit. The message was honest, real and strongly based on scripture. We knew we wanted more! We've been attending church at Mosaic regularly since then, and we have found a wonderful community of people and always come home afterwards feeling inspired and humbled by the message. It is a young-ish group for the most part, 20s and 30-something's and young families, lots of creative types. This is exactly what we were hoping for, and have found a home here! read more

Mosaic is a great community feeling nondenominational church. They have a really diverse group and a modern feel. Everyone is nonjudgmental, welcoming and very personable. Though I have been an occasional member since summer of 2012, I never feel like a stranger or a disappointment. If I still lived in the area, I would be there every Sunday! Relaxed feel, enriching & engaging sermons and a not cliquey community that cares about the individuals of the church and the community. *please note the new church is right on 16th and at a crossroad with a heavy homeless population. read more

For a long time, I would "church shop", critically analyzing which church was "best for me". Then one day a wise man spoke the Truth into my life that church is about the community I choose to commit to and invest in, not what I can "get out" of church. The next day, I decided to COMMIT to Makers, (at the time Mosaic). I still know this is one of my greatest decisions, even two years later! I am so grateful for the biblical Truth, and life application of all three of our pastors: Derrick, Marc and Chalese. I love how all three of our pastors have jobs in very different fields, demonstrating how our LIVING GOD works in their lives at work, in family, and in community. Even my dad who is critical of church and Christianity appreciated this when he visited last year!!!! Even if you are weary of God, Jesus, and church, this is a place for you!!! At the same time, Makers is a community who stands firm on its faith in Jesus Christ and believes in the power of living in relationship with God. I always say, "community is built one person at a time", which is true at Makers! CONTINUE showing up, and you will quickly become a part of our family. I have definitely experienced such a loving community of family who disciple me to Christ at Makers Church! We aren't perfect, but at Makers, we will point you to the God who is!!!!! Come venture with us! read more

My partner and I have been church-shopping for a Christ-centered and Christ-focused church in San Diego. Further, we were searching for a strong Christian community where we can participate and grow together beyond just Sundays. Equally important, we sought after a place where the leadership and church family alike would welcome us as a gay married couple. Makers Church has been such a blessing in all regards. We immediately felt at home, and jumped in with serving and mission trips. Makers, in addition to welcoming us, reached out to us, pressed in and got to know us...they took an interest in understanding our role as Christians in our community. Whether you're new to San Diego, or are desiring community, or hungry for a deeper understanding into the Kingdom of God, I would challenge you to visit Makers and experience your new home. read more

I have been going to Mosaic for a year and a half. It is the first church I have ever called home. I found Mosaic after nearly a three year pause from my spiritual life. I tried numerous churches and struggled to feel at ease, until Mosaic. Mosaic operates with the belief that every person belongs and is welcome; no matter their story or where they come from. It is truly a place for community rooted in Christ. It embodies love in action; everyone is encouraged to get involved. I have been able to meet some of my closest friends through Mosaic. My faith is challenged weekly through relevant sermons and scripture and small group. Major bonus: I have so much respect for the church leaders as it is a bi-vocational church. read more

Makers is the bomb! Great church, incredible community, definitely recommend giving it a go.

I am a marketing consultant for churches around the country, and choose to call Makers home! If you're looking for an authentic group of people doing their best to follow Jesus, this is the place. The worship is great - contemporary, but always moving - the messages challenging and inspiring with a rotation of speaking pastors, and I love that the staff are all bi-vocational or part-time. As with any church, what you get out of it is in huge part due to what you put in - I started serving a few months after attending and joined a community group, and am lucky to have formed deep, genuine friendships over the past year. read more

My Husband and I had spent several months trying out different churches before we went to Mosaic, we were feeling pretty discouraged and I was personally ready to stop looking for a church for a while but that all changed after our first Sunday at Mosaic. It has been an incredible experience for our family since day one and I can honestly say it has changed our lives. We were welcomed so warmly and by so many friendly people that first Sunday, it was overwhelming, but in the best possible way. It was the first time in a long time that we actually felt like people cared that we were there and we couldn't wait to go back! We have been so loved by this community and have already made deep connections in a short amount of time, which is what we were really looking for. We love everything about this church and we feel so lucky to have finally found a place we can call home. read more

I love Makers Church. Very friendly and welcoming folks there. What I like most is that they use all sorts of artistic expression during services. The messages are relevant and engaging. Come out and experience Makers! read more

I absolutely fell in love with Makers Church. I recently graduated from college and moved out to San Diego over a month ago. Makers was the first church I wanted to check out and I am so glad I did. Everyone is very welcoming, friendly, and made me feel comfortable right away! In addition, I got myself plugged into the community groups and already created new friendships! read more

Going to Makers has transformed my life in San Diego. The community is so welcoming, and the staff and volunteers make every service special. Everyone makes an effort to get to know you, even if it's your first week there. I'm challenged and inspired by the pastors and their messages each week. I love my Makers family read more

I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed the worship, teachings and how friendly the church was. I haven't been at their new location yet but will check it out in the next coming weeks. read more

I have been a going to Mosaic for 3 1/2 years now. I can honestly say that it is like a second home - a place to feel welcomed and loved no matter where you are in life. A place to grow an amazing community, and to grow in my relationship with Jesus. We're now about to have our first baby, and I'm thrilled he'll get to be a part of their incredible kids program. One of the things I love most about Mosaic is that they encourage everyone to get involved somehow - through smaller community groups, serving together, or starting a new thing based on your personal talents and passions!! There really is a space for everyone, and anyone can come an hour early to pray with leaders and other volunteers, enjoy coffee and breakfast, then find a place to serve. My life is changed because of this incredible church. read more

I highly recommend Makers Church for anyone who is looking for a church community. Makers Church has been a place for me to find community and explore my faith. I have felt known, loved and supported. After walking into service almost two years ago, I immediately knew I could call this place home. The staff and volunteers work tirelessly to make sure everyone feels welcomed. I will always be able to call this community home. read more

I've been attending Mosaic San Diego for 2 1/2 years now. I can honestly say it has been the most refreshing experience I've had with a church in a really long time. It's truly a place for community that will do life together and to walk with you through many of life's challenges. At Mosaic you're given the opportunity to serve alongside a very talented, creative, and passionate team/staff to spread the gospel of Jesus. In my time here at Mosaic, I've met some incredible people; some that I call my best friends today. I encourage anyone in San Diego looking for a new church, to try Mosaic; and for those that aren't even looking for a church but just curious about the Christian faith is all about, Mosaic welcomes EVERYONE. read more

Mosaic is my church home and has been for five years. It's a place of LOVE, a nondenominational church filled with people who love Jesus and people searching for faith. All are welcome here, no matter where they are in their faith journey. Mosaic is mostly made up of young people in their 20s and 30s, but there's plenty of love for more "mature" folks like me. There are many volunteer opportunities and a spirit of mission in much of what we do. The pastor preaches great sermons! read more

Makers felt like home from the moment I got there. I was immediately greeted by multiple people who were genuinely interested in me and how I was doing. The church is filled with incredible people and it is a great place to build community with others. If you are looking for a place to grow in your faith and build lasting relationships with other followers, Makers is definitely the place to go. read more

My little family and I moved to San Diego at the end of last summer. We tried a few churches but Makers connected with me instantly in a way that no other church has. Makers is welcoming, real, and volunteer-driven. I feel that it embodies the vibe of the best parts of San Diego - laid back, real, and welcoming of everyone. Our two boys, ages 4 and 7 love coming here too. They were sad to leave our old church when we moved, but now they love Makers and really own it as their church, which means so much to me. The kids staff is amazing and made sure my kids were comfortable in their classes. We're thrilled to be part of this church family! read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place! If you're looking for a community, this is a rare gem that accepts and loves everyone. Three years ago I came because I needed some solid people in my life and I've found some of my best friends here. Awesome worship. Great speakers. Fantastic kids ministry. Genuine people. Don't expect perfection- no church can meet all of your needs. Expect a place that will genuinely meet you where you're at and try to find a place for you if you are willing to actively be a part of the community. Local tip: show up early on a Sunday (7:30am) and just help us set up. Its open to anyone who wants to come eat breakfast and help get the space ready for the 9am and 12am services. It's a good way to serve and less intimidating way to get to know people than walking up to a crowd of strangers for my fellow introverts out there. A MUST: join a community group and stick with it! Not only will it shape you as a person to have deeper spiritual talks each week, you'll actually become a part of each other's lives and an integral part of this church. I could go on and on but for the sake of your Yelp search I'll stop at the most important part: give it a shot, you won't regret it. read more
