Grace Church San Diego

From the moment my wife and I walked in. We knew this was going to be our church. We are blessed to be apart of a church with such a God given vision. We like many, we’re looking for a church that we can come in and receive the word of God. A place where we can serve and connect with people of all walks of like. I’m happy to call grace my church. My wife and I just recently had our daughter but we know that in Gods time, we will be getting more involved. We know we are called by God and called to serve him. Thank you pastor Tim Scott and the team for serving our city. We stand in agreement with Gods vision for grace. I encourage those that are looking for a church. Come and check it out! A place where you don’t have to feel guilty of ashamed. A place where you feel loved and encouraged to do everything you are called by God!

Grace church has meaningful and powerful worship, a clear and moving visions for growth, and a community approach to following the Lord. They’re very open to all people, no judgment, just worshiping God and using the Bible as the inspired word of God and final authority. I recommend giving them a try if you haven’t been to church, are looking for a new church, or just want to see how others follow God.

Rarely will you find a church with a pastor and members this caring. I started attending this church about 2 months ago just to see what it was about. They don’t care how you are dressed or what kind of darkness your past holds, they welcome you.
I’ve started getting involved with Project Reach, the section of this church that does mission trips, food distribution, etc. I immediately had people hugging me, giving me their numbers, and just trying to help me in general.
I was recently heartbroken whenever I started attending and people prayed with me, offered to come hang out with me, etc. It is seriously overwhelming how much love I’ve been given since I started coming here.
It’s a relatively small church that’s still growing but the people are not judgmental and the pastor is super friendly and welcoming. I feel that all people of all backgrounds, races, etc are welcome here. If you’re new to the area or just looking for a good church, I would definitely recommend checking this place out!
The only downside can be parking. They have a small parking lot and a shuttle system but other than that it is street parking. They are planning to open a new location in East County though, so like I said, definitely a growing church. One more thing, if you’re interested in mission trips, they will be having an informational meeting December 6^th, 2015 after all services. I’m very interested in doing a mission trip so I will be there! They go to Mexico, Thailand, and Haiti. They may go to other countries as well but those are the ones I am aware of.
Hope this review helps!
P.S…the messages are always great too with a bit of humor thrown in!

I have been calling Grace home for about 4 months now and I couldn’t be happier. It has the old church feel inside of an amazing building. I had been looking for a home church after recently moving to San Diego and after one service at Grace I contacted them immediately about serving with them because I just felt I had to be a part of what is going on. They are very welcoming and accepting, I really think that everyone could fit in here!

I moved to San Diego two months ago and while looking for a church on Unilocal,I found Grace. I have been coming since and I really like it. What I like most is that the messages are very insightful and down to earth. One of my favorite message was about Christians loving others instead of being judgmental.
Also, Pastor Tim is very approachable and genuine! :)

The best thing about Grace Church is the sense of community. Grace has managed to operate like a small neighborhood church in spite of the fact that Sunday attendance is well over a thousand for the four services. The staff is the most accessible I’ve found in a church this size. It’s quite easy to involved, also — there are many ‘connect groups’ and various ministries to jump into.
And if you’re looking to make a difference in the community, Project Reach is for you. Scott Laughlin, one of the pastors at Grace and the director of PR, is a true gem, and Grace is very blessed to have him. Check out PR on Facebook.

ahhhhhhhhhmazing worship, fellowship and messages from pastor Tim Scott. Been here for 10 awesome years and it just keeps getting better!

The pastor hurt my feelings
Ive never been to church before (this was my first) until my friend asked me to go with her.
I really could not believe the things the rev was saying. This made me feel very nervous.
I was new trying to find something when I came. I feel like S***

I went to the 11 a.m. service it was pretty cool… in the beginning, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it but the pastor is a very talented speaker, he’s definitely in the right line of work, he’s great in front of people the church is progressive, progressive looking they basically packed it, every seat was full, they even have couches and some coffee tables throughout the church so you can put your coffee on it, but I do have to say, I wish they had some more parking… but most importantly… I wish they had seating so when you come out of the church service you can sit down and meet other people that go to the church… have an area to sit and have coffee and some healthy snacks… and get to know the people in the church, because, without that how can you really get close to the people at church if there’s no place to sit and relax, and talk afterwards.

I came into Grace little over a year ago, God was leading to grow, to search a church that I would, and I thank Jesus I have found where I belong, love being a part of a loving people in Christ, thank you Pastors.

It took me 10 years to find a San Diego church that felt like «home». As a newly married couple, we were looking for a youthful congregation and messages that help us navigate our current lives and finding Grace and pastor Tim did just that. With any great find, it has continued to grow since we’ve been attending, but it is obvious that the volunteers and pastoral staff have been intentional in continuing to keep the small community feel that my husband and I love so much by just adding additional services, but not taking away from the small church feel. Not only do they love and support the congregation, but they are so passionate about supporting the community through weekly grocery help for families in need (Project Outreach) and many other missions. My husband and I couldn’t be more happy with Grace and encourage everyone to just try it once– you won’t be disappointed.

Immediately upon walking through the door, you’re family. It doesn’t matter what your background or story is, everyone happily greets you with a smile and a warm hug. Pastor time keeps the sermon interesting with stories and jokes which allows everyone to relate to the Bible’s lessons.

Amazing! That about sums up Grace Church.
I have been going here since 2006. This church has gone through many changes, but God is good all the time! The word always stays true, and Pastor Tim backs up everything he says with the Bible. I take meticulous notes and criticize maybe too much sometimes, but everything I have looked up has been right on and exactly in line with scripture.
I think God every Sunday for an amazing pastor that has stuck with his congregation through thick and thin while somehow, miraculously, been able to constantly keep everyone engaged as well as keeping up with the cultural times.
Is very clear to see that God moves through the words of our pastors here, and hearts are continually touched every service as people are saved and believers are fed.
If you’re looking for a church that that feels like a family, that is a family, and you want to be connected, this is the place for you.

An organization that truly is a safe place for all walks of life. The staff is well trained and compassionate.
Dr. Tim Scott is a phenomenal speaker who shares deep messages that relate to both new and mature Christians.

BEST church in all of SaN Diego :)
Pastor Tim & the staff make YOU feel at home instantly! !

Very good church. Moved into the area during the summer, been attending ever since. Music is upbeat, I rarely recognize any of the songs.
The 6 pm service is my favorite. set up like a coffee shop. its very chill and awesome.

The last time I was able to find such a well spoken pastor with examples that relate to everyday life in all forms of the scripture was my childhood pastor growing up. When my childhood pastor passed away I was on the hunt for a new church, and it took several years but I found a new home at Grace Church.
Pastor Tim Scott is an incredible speaker and knows how to capture the attention of the audience. He can relate the material very well. Everyone else is so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. So happy with the decision I made to join Grace Church.

I’ve gone to church for a LOT of yrs, and served in many of them. To be able to walk into a place and feel like you ‘fit’ right off the bat is WAY unusual! BUT… it’s happened here for me.
Great messages. Great music. Great fellowship. There seems to be something for everyone and if you’re looking for a place to get plugged in or just a place to listen and learn, I’m thinking this may well be the place for you.
It has been for me… Like coming ‘home’.

Super down to earth, friendly, solid people run Grace. The staff and service teams are lately volunteers and members of the church. It feels like a family :) a wonderful community church with activities and connect groups for everyone, from young professionals to people in recovery.
The first time I came to Grace, I was struck by how humble and authentically warm Pastor Tim is. It’s a church that my fiancé and I have called home for 2 years. The church is growing and it now has four services on Sundays to accommodate the congregation. It’s truly a church for all walks of life, and it has a friendly and compassionate feel.

Nice, really nice.
I have just moved to San Diego and my senior pastor back home (Hawaii) referred me to a big church on my neighborhood. I attended and left disappointed and frustrated with how shallow the message was… I couldn’t understand why all the fuss about it. Then I prayed and prayed and God sent me to the Grace, and now, we are taking real church, not a show or a rock concert, but a real church.
Its small, which I like it. Eventually people will know my name and Ill know their names! Just today three people came to me to introduce themselves, I love that! Last Sunday, on my first visit, I got a gift bag for being a «first time visitor» that had a dvd, small devotion booklets and even candy! How adorable is that?! And within three days of me filling up the connection slip, I had two staff people and the pastor contacting me to follow up. I felt like they really cared for me interest in joining the family!
Today I got to meet the pastor and even took advantage of the shuttle bus they have to relief the parking area. I am so excited to get involved because I feel I will meet great people there. The message is powerful and meaningful and the atmosphere is super cozy.
I am so HAPPY God has sent me there and I will spread the word to everyone who loves Jesus to come check them out!
