Community Bible Church

I have been at CBC for around 2 years. Came to this body drained and tired with my fiancé thinking that there was no hope to find a biblical church that teaches Doctrine. We were involved in a few young adult ministries, but always wanted to grow deeper in scripture, Truth. After the first service we called to schedule an appointment to become a member because we knew we found something. This body’s roots grow deep and are close to the true vine that sustains us. The Spirit brings to life the well oiled machine in Titus 2. With humility and grace, the Word of God is presented and proclaimed in the lives. I have a family here and serving in ministry alongside these workers is such a blessing. The body may not be the biggest, but we are a family that invests in one another. Praise God for the elders, who have shown me what it looks like to love and disciple by pointing us to the Good Shepherd.

Pastor Scott teaches the bible word for word. There is no ambiguity here. My family has been going here for almost 3 years, and from the first lesson, we knew we were where God wanted us. Elders and staff are approachable. Danny Hackett, the youth leader is very involved with the teens and parents. If you thirst for truth this is the place to find it. Women’s and Men’s ministries are active and there are many bible studies to choose from. This church is incredibly blessed.

Pastor Scott does a fantastic job teaching verse by verse through the bible. I have been coming to the Church since 2001 and the teaching has never been more accurate. It is not an ear tickling type of teaching, but the TRUTH. I have had the pleasure of serving with Scott for 5 years now and I have learned a lot. Also, we I would to point out that the Church is now ECFA certified, here is the link so you can see what that means.
If you want to hear the TRUTH, please come by. Thank you and God Bless.
Daniel Hackett
Youth Director CBC San Diego

Pastor Scott does a great job teaching from the Bible. The worship music and congregation singing at the beginning of the services is always glorifying to God and a beautiful experience. Awana is on Tuesday nights to teach kids from pre-​K thru high school the Bible as well as to have fun with their team games. People there are terrific and it’s great to have a local church like this.

Pastor Scott teaches word by word. He thoroughly explains every verse not just the ones that make you feel good. I can say the same for Danny Hackett the youth pastor. The Saturday night service works well for our schedule. The leadership at CBC is approachable and cares about accountability. We consider membership a privilege.

This place was run by a thief who stole $ 3 million from the gullible sheep who went there.

This review is based on 3 consecutive visits mid march 2012 through good friday 2012.
Sermon: Based on what I have read and heard — Rock solid. Sound Doctrine. Engaging. Made us come back 3 times. ⁴⁄₅
Worship: Contemporary songs, don’t recall singing a single hymn (I prefer a blend of contemporary and hymns), The great thing is that all can sing to the songs and the music. 3.5÷5
Sunday School for Kids: Based on what my kids said, the early service SS was not interesting, and the later service sunday school was ok, but not challenging enough. Its ok for kids who dont have much exposure to the bible at home I guess, but if my elementary aged kids get bored with the lessons then I have a problem. ³⁄₅
Felowship & Friendliness: Non existent. No one to greet you when you enter (even on the good friday service!), no one to guide you to where you need o go, not sure what the deacons and elders and pastors do here, but this church sure isn’t geared towards welcoming new folks. There are other churches we have visited in the area that scored a ⁵⁄₅. CBC gets a ⁰⁄₅
As such, we have decided to look elsewhere. if you are looing for sound doctrine, good worship and little else, this is the church for you.
Some advice for CBC. You need to have a dedicated team of folks who actively seek out new comers and not just greet them, but introduce them to others in their demographic group, get them settled down, follow up with them etc. We have been actively church hunting for the past couple months — There is a church in 4s where we fellowshiped with folks for an hour after our very first visit, there’s another church in Scripps ranch where we met every pastor and at least a dozen other church members on our 1^st visit, and on our 2^nd visit, the entire pastoral staff knew our names! the church was just a tad smaller than CBC.

My kids love this church and they enjoy their activities on all services that they have attended. For this, it gives us extra motivation not to miss services every Sunday.

A great place to call home!
Come and visit, you won’t be sorry.
