I've had such a great experience at Sunrise Community Church in Santee. From the moment you walk…read morein, people are welcoming, real, and genuinely care about helping you feel like you belong. The teaching is Bible based and easy to understand, whether you've been around church your whole life or you're just starting to explore your faith. What really stood out to me is how practical the messages are you can actually apply them to your everyday life. If you're younger or looking for community, the youth program is a huge highlight. It's not just something to do it's a place where you can build real friendships, have honest conversations, and grow in your faith without feeling judged. There are always events, small groups, and ways to get involved, which makes it easy to meet people and not feel like just another face in the crowd. If you're looking for a church in the East County San Diego area where you can find community, grow spiritually, and actually enjoy going each week, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.

Wow! I know this will be such a random story but I just wanted to share. So, this isn't the usual…read morechurch that I go to. I was in Santee over the weekend and I thought I'd catch Saturday Vigil mass here. I just randomly googled the closest Catholic Church to where I was and came across Guardian Angels. Long story short: I was born and raised in Northern California and grew up in one of the Catholic Churches up there. When I came here on Saturday, I had to take a double-take because the priest looked familiar! He happened to be the priest from my home parish who baptized me when I was a baby! He said he was a visiting priest at Guardian Angels. What a coincidence! I of course had to say hi to him after mass and I even had a picture of him on my phone from my baptism years ago that I saved and I showed it to him. I was such a treat and blessing to see him after all these years! Aside from that, this was a lovely parish. The homily was wonderful. The music ministry did a great job as well. I left with a huge smile on my face that evening! Praise God for the sweet blessings in life! Mass Times: Monday - Friday : 8:00AM Rosary after Saturday : 5:00PM Sunday : 8:30, 10:30, 5:00PM First Friday : 8:00AM only

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.
