Finally Found Home at Hope City…read more I walked into Hope City Church at a time when I was searching, feeling lost, and needing something more in my life--and I can honestly say, I've found exactly what I was looking for. From the moment I arrived, there was a genuine sense of welcome, purpose, and community. Pastor Eric Rountree and Pastor Jennifer Rountree are true pillars--not just within the church, but in the broader community as well. Their leadership is authentic, compassionate, and grounded, and it shows in everything they do. Hope City isn't just a place you attend--it's a place where you belong. If you're searching for a church home, this is where you'll feel seen, supported, and spiritually renewed. Highly recommend.

I came to Hope City about 7 months ago. I had been through a very difficult couple of years. I was…read moreso nervous to walk into a church again after several years of being out of fellowship. What I found at Hope City is a gathering of people who genuinely care. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. It's truly a "come as you are" environment. The worship is dynamic and helps me to lay aside the things of the previous week and focus on the Lord. But the best thing of all is that sitting under and applying Pastor Eric's teaching has changed my life. Every week I am encouraged, corrected and empowered to live my life as Christ would without feeling judged or condemned. I'm so grateful to have found this church. If you're looking for a church home I highly recommend Hope City.

They were also Rude to Me like they are all Super Holy and Perfect trying to Tell Me I'm not Good Enough to become a Leader there unless I Kiss Their Butts like Everything they Do is Super Awesome and You have to Say Pastor Miles McPherson is the Best Pastor Ever and He is Not. It's like a Cult there where You have to Praise Them and Everything They Do like it's the Best Thing on this Planet Earth. All Thumbs Down

We found Kaleo church and decided to check it out. I am always nervous when checking out a new church, but we were welcomed right away! There was no time to feel awkward as everyone was so warm and inviting - something that is hard to find in your larger churches. I didn't realize how much I had missed actually being noticed and not feeling like "just another face in the crowd." Besides feeling extremely welcomed, I also very much appreciated the praise and worship and sermon-style. The message was deep and thoughtful. I left feeling filled and blessed. We will definitely be back for future "date nights."

I am biased - I attend Kaleo Church and have for over two years. We are a church of people who…read morerealize our great need for Jesus; we aren't perfect and often times fail each other, but the grace we receive through our precious Savior Jesus Christ, is BIGGER than our failures and reminds us that grace abounds and covers a multitude of sins. Daily we repent and thank our heavenly Father for ushering us into His presence by the blood of Christ so we can commune with a holy God who loves us perfectly and deeply. Our pastor, Tim Cain, brings the gospel every week! This is not a church where there is a pushing aside or sugar coating of truth - God has gifted Pastor Tim with great passion to share the gospel to ALL walks of life at no expense. It is a costly call, but worth it to him. We are blessed to have been given a pastor who desires to shepherd his flock well and care for us first spiritually. The people at Kaleo have big hearts for the El Cajon community and the homeless. We don't dress very fancy, the homeless join us for Saturday service and at our Missional Communities, and you will often see beards and tattoos. There is a big college-age community as well. We have a group of people with hearts for the SDCC students. A lot of the students and graduates attend our church. It's awesome the dynamic God has allowed our church to have. God has graciously allowed us to realize the truth of being all part of one body (without preference), with the Christ as our head through the diversity He has brought into this congregation. Kaleo church is more than a name and a building. It is a community of people who adore Jesus, who are learning to surrender their lives wholly to live according to His ways, and who delight in sharing the Good News with anyone who wants to listen...even those who may not.

We stopped by the welcome booth, where a friendly couple gave us a brief overview of the church and answered our questions with a smile. They even gave us coupons for free coffee! After the service, we enjoyed a delicious coffee (worth over $5) at the on-site cafe right next to the church.

Find or confirm your faith at Grace Church…read more Parking is tough, but there is a small lot for 1st and 2nd time visitors. If you can't find street parking, or if you don't mind a little walk, you are welcome to park at Our Lady of Peace Church up the street (North of the church). Come one, come all. Although we are all looking for a house of worship, we may not all be looking for the same place. I stopped in to Grace, and what I found was a welcoming bunch, a fairly diverse and youthful bunch, and a serving group of individuals looking to worship. Sunday services as of 2024 are 8:30am-9:30am, 9:30am-10:30am, and 11:30am-12:30pm. Service goes approximately as follows: 5 minutes of announcements 10 minutes of worship songs 35 minutes of word and prayer 10 minutes of worship songs Thanks be to God

After this past year, which was all about politics I do not want to hear it in church or rehash 'the past four years'....

I initially thought Awaken Church was the most amazing place. I started off at Balboa, joining the…read moreworship team. I was initially drawn in by the music, but after doing some digging into the contemporary Christian music they cover, I was appalled to learn that those churches basically practice witchcraft... Bethel, Jesus Culture, Elevation and Hillsong with their grave soaking and sexual improprieties. After almost 2 years, several experiences just didn't add up with Biblical truth - eg female pastors, deliverance ministry and the emphasis on money. I've also experienced on more than one occasion, being shoved to the ground Benny Hinn style. This feels more like Christian show business. There's also a severe lack of reverence. Women dress appallingly, including some of the pastors. It's like they've forgotten God is holy! I've ended up at a Calvary Chapel Church and the difference is incredible. The pastor isn't part of an elite team. The worship isn't strobe lights and a big band that deafens you. He reads the Bible line by line every Sunday. Something Awaken fails to do. They instead cherry pick lines and create motivational messages like Joel Osteen. They're obsessed with power and money... and they're severely lacking a spirit of humility. I've hung out with people who one minute they're worshiping God and the next minute they're cursing. They focus much more on spiritual gifts (speaking in tongues and prophesying is huge) instead of the fruits of the Spirt. Coming out of the New Age this was a massive red flag. Because it felt a lot like manifesting. Having dug deeper into the Word of Faith movement and the New Apostolic Reformation, it became clear that Awaken falls under that category and though they say they're focused on Jesus, they're really focused on wealth and taking "territory for the kingdom." In fact, I've never been to a church until Awaken where they don't feed the poor. They treat Jesus like a genie, focusing on how he can enrich their lives, instead of focusing on how they can submit to His will and live as He did. The King of the Universe never even owned a home and slept on the ground for most of his ministry but Awaken's core message is to give generously to the Church so you can experience treasures on earth. The final strike was hearing from a friend that Pastor Jurgen was teaching how to channel the Holy Spirit through your hands. Which sounds exactly like reiki. In the words of John MacArthur, churches like these are serving another Jesus and another Spirit. If you want a real Bible believing church, this isn't it. It's show business.

Many times I heard Skylines Pastors in their sermons say you can't hide anything from God! But I later discovered that the Wesleyan Disapline includes the use of Non Disclosure Statements. Are Non Disclosures even biblical? Don't Non Disclosures suppress the truth, hide misconduct and contradict Christian theology? I often heard What Would Jesus Do on Skylines campus! Well, would Jesus use Non Disclosure Statements? I have tried to talk to members of Skylines current staff and Wesleyan Headquarters regarding NDAs and I felt like I just got the run around and I don't think they handled things properly!
