Christian Assembly Review

God IS Good!! what a breath of fresh air it was worshipping and praising with the Christian Assembly congregation!...and being thankful for the rich experience!! much needed, Thank You Lord!

Has been my home for 16 years. I love CA... the Holy Spirit is in here too. They re not going to comfort feed you lies. Super powerful prayer team. Love the music and people.

My home since 1996....learn and grow from this church....God bless CA.

The people here shunned me out and refuse to listen to me and further instigated my life to be crappy if you want to know more email me I will tell you the whole story.

Amazing church! So glad we made this home. The pastors are amazing. Everyone I've seen. Been going to Sunday services for 3 years now. Parking is the only reason it's a 4 and not a 5!

Great energy, people, diversity, programs, incredible worship music, great leadership! It s a pretty large church. I ve watched it grow over the past 18 years. Just keeps getting better.

Totally enjoy this community...friendly & diversified...Dynamic worship teams!!

It's a pleasure to be there. It is very uplifting.

First time visiting was great. Very welcoming and our kids loved it.

I've attended CA for more than 4 years now. The moment I was introduced to the church, I felt at home. The people are down to earth, caring, and real. I've participated in their recovery courses and it has made a difference in my life... so much so that now I help facilitate one of them.
The church has a nice mixture of both mature and young attendees. The music is incredible and can draw you in and bring out your emotions, by using their talent and the word of God. The pastors and staff are there for the people and you can feel it in the way they talk to you and in their message. Its clearly about God and helping you build your relationship with him.
Its a breath of fresh air, I highly recommend it.

Please don't forget about video GO TO the ultimate goal

Great worship and service times. They have multiple main services spread out from Saturday to Sunday on two campuses directly across that the street from each that they call 'north' and 'south'. They also have video recordings and online giving available if you miss a service. I like how they are really trying to connect to more people using technology.

Amazing church that is full of wonderful people that are all willing to help you get close with God. I had stopped going to church for many years and now I am happy to find a place I consider a home.

Great new place for worship and fellow ship. I have only been attending for about 3 months an it feels like I have been going for years.

A place where the worship music helps me draw near to the heart of God, and the teaching helps live life here and now. Jesus announced that the Kingdom of God is at hand, I sense that it comes near in this place. You will be welcomed and I pray that you will be blessed.

Great place to call home. Rich in fellowship and programs to support growth in Christ and Community service. For all ages. Daughter loves the 678 jr high program. Music program is like no other. Grateful to have been introduced to this thriving church. Join a small life group to really feel supported, connected and grow.

A ordinary church for unordinary people,love it !!!!! Don't take my word for it just walk in And you'll see what I'm talking about best decision I ever made!!

I am in the 678 youth group. I love being in church with my best friends as we learn about God together. Also the 678 Fall Retreat and Hume San Diego is a great way to make friends and become closer to God.

Loved being there, the warmth and their intentions....we will do life with you...makes sense.

Because it's home. *Arrive 20+ mins early if you want a good seat. .. and up to an hour early if it's Easter.

Made good friends here, kind and caring people. Worship is phenomenal. Praise God.

Amazing . The word, wisdom, the groups, the leaders,and the people are real . lovers of God .

Very nice people, easy parking, very clean, take care of kids

I really enjoy the Sun 600p service. The praise & worship is so touching. The msgs preached are rite from the Bible. I find the people to be very friendly. Love the church.

This church is absolutely outstanding in every way. It is based on the truth of the Bible, the sacred Word of our Creator. Every time I attend a service I always feel so honored to be there.

Love these people! Want a great place to worship? Come here. Can't help but feel God's presence.

Biblically "based" and Christ centered, excellent sermon and great music! Get there early unless you want to park 2 blocks away! They do have a parking lot and free street parking.

CA church is a great and welcoming community to be a part of.

I LOVE this church, although if you are a progressive Christian you may have a couple issues as i'll note later.

When i first walked in about 20 years ago i was overwhelmed by the sense of joy. It felt like a community, the people are real and welcoming, and dress is casual. I have been going ever since, about 20 years, with some gaps here and there. For the first several months i was overwhelmed every week by the pouring of the Spirit, and still am quite often. There is a good cultural mix of real people and it is pretty big so a chance to meet a wide spectrum. There are many opportunities for growth and participation including recovery and other classes, lots of foreign and local missions (i went overseas with them several times), and emphasize smaller "life groups" where you can get to know some people better. The worship team is also AWESOME. It is a flourishing, creative community.

There is also a wide spectrum of political beliefs, so most people should be able to find common ground, and the preaching itself is not "political" as the focus is on Jesus.

But if you are a progressive Christian you may want to take note of a couple things:

--As you know conservative beliefs of some may seem harsh and when Facebook first came out i was rather taken aback, but i consider CA my family and returned to worship God/BEing.

--I knew a lot of people there wouldn't support gay marriage but i was disappointed to find out the church had an official position against it (i'm straight). Later i heard thirdhand that a great drummer on the worship team was asked to stop playing with them when she came out as gay. That almost crushed me. I am horrified that the love of Jesus is not considered big enough for her. So i stopped donating $ but i still feel it's my family.

--Lastly their core beliefs (this is common to most churches i'm afraid, as is opposition to gay marriage) include such points as: the "Bible" is infallible or inerrant.
I don't believe concepts such as "perfect" or "inerrant" are even real. Is there a perfect tree or a perfect rock? What does that even mean? Nothing written by flawed people is flawless, inspired by God or not. People can believe whatever they want in life of course, but my issue is if you don't accept this and other certain points, you are then limited in the leadership positions you can hold. But it takes all kinds of people to reach all kinds of people, right?

Overall I've been conflicted and still sometimes look for a church that supports the LGBTQ community for who they are made by God, but i STILL love this church and consider it my family despite its perceived flaws (as God loves me despite mine!). If you accept their core beliefs and don't expect people to wear suits and ties, you will likely love it here.

Great place for worship and everyone there is into the word of God. I do recommend going here, but what shaved off a star is the parking.

I love Christian assembly, You will always have a special place in my heart.

First time coming today, really good service and great people, definitely returning

Fine to attend if you're straight and don't care that they offer an embarrassing program called "Taking Back Ground". Otherwise, find a Church that will accept you for who you are, not what this cult wants you to be. Taking Back Ground is a mentally dangerous program against same sex attraction. Selective morality and acceptance is what these "Churches" offer. Divorce and remarry 50x (adultery by their own Biblical definition) and you can still do whatever you want ministry wise. These anti-gay programs are opposed by all professional and credible mental health foundations (APA, AMA, WPA, ASCA, ASHA, etc). They're playing with fire, for zero logical reasons, just to fit their Biblical narrative of what they think is Biblical heterosexual living. These programs don't work and are proven harmful. Also, you will not be allowed in any type of Ministry if you are okay with being of another sexual orientation you can't change. Accepting yourself for who you are is the only thing you can do and leave this cult. See hrc dot org for more info on these associations, and avoid these Churches and programs. Too bad I was duped initially by their Music programs and "leaders". All they do is contribute to depressive thoughts, isolation, and confusion. What's right isn't always popular (all these millions of Church beliefs), what's popular isn't always right.

The sermons are convicting and inspiring. The pastors have a sense of humor. The congregation feels warm and welcoming. The worship is awesome. Bigger than I normally like but having friends that already attend there makes it feel smaller.

Truly our home. The pictures I uploaded are from this year's Vacation Bible School, which my 5 year old is loving! Never felt more at home at a church than I do here.

Easter services were wonderful. Highly recommend. Music and worship were great

I miss my church. Love the evening service sunday nights
