Questions

When and where can I visit?

Sunday services are at 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM at 1675 Seven Oakes Road, Escondido, CA 92026. Expect contemporary worship, fellowship and Bible teaching. The Connection Point on the patio and volunteers with orange name badges can help you get oriented. There is not currently a midweek worship service.

What should I wear or bring?

Casual clothing is welcome, from jeans and T-shirts to shorts and flip-flops. Bring your Bible if you have one; ushers provide loaners, and the church can give a Bible to someone who needs one. The pastor teaches from the New King James Version. Guest Wi-Fi is available for Bible apps.

How do I find children's classes?

Start at the Connection Point. Volunteers will escort your family to the appropriate classrooms and explain check-in. Children's ministry includes music, crafts, games and Bible teaching. Teachers and assistants receive background checks and training, and each classroom has at least two adults. Ask the church about age groups and arrangements for the service you plan to attend.

How can I connect beyond Sunday?
