About Us - San Diego Church Reviews

December 19th, 2004

San Diego Church Review & Guide is made up of several individuals who believe it is extremely important for non-christians, new believers and mature believers to find a church that is centered on the Bible. Amongst the reviewers we have several pastors, the editor of San Diego Christianity DMOZ, people with Masters in Theology and more.

If you would like to join us and write reviews, please feel free to apply, email: San Diego Churches. There are two criteria to accepting reviews:

(1) You can’t write a review of your home church.
(2) Further, San Diego Churches is not unbiased. Frankly, no one is unbiased. We all have a particular viewpoint in which we decide to value things by. So all applicants will be asked a few questions to help understand these biases. A few biases in which we evaluate churches by.

a) Does the Church believe scripture is true?
b) How do they interpret Scripture?
c) Does the church have a heart of mission both locally, culturally and worldwide?
d) Does the church desire to glorify God and worship Him, rather than people?
e) Does the church have a community that lives out an active involvement and desire to disciple/hold people accountable and grow them?

These areas are the areas in which we value churches. Some people may not agree with these. We would encourage you to add your comments under the churches in which you disagree. We also would encourage you to start your own website to review churches based on the standards you see fit. We recognize some people may be upset with reviews of particular churches. Our desire is not to make people upset but to pursue God and hopefully, the Pastors of these churches will prayerfully consider any areas that are evaluated as settling for less than the Glory of God.

    I just found your website, and I have to say thank you! I grew up in San Diego, and have attended a number of churches in the area. I grew extremely dissatisfied with the lack of “meaty” churches–places where a mature young Christian could go to be fed and challenged, instead of going to pep rallies and rock concerts–and I would have LOVED to find this website about 10 years ago. I have never heard anyone challenge some of the mega-churches I attended until now–and it’s refreshing.
    I no longer live there, but I’ve forwarded to friends and family in the area.

    I do recommend Canyon Community Church in Chula Vista–would be worth a review. It is a small, artistic community, doctrinally sound associated with CMA churches.

    Looking forward to a national review of churches, New York City personally.

    If your group spent half as much time sharing the gospel with lost people and ministering to the body of Christ, as you do typing church critiques, there would be more fruit born to the glory of God.

    The tenor of your comments are judgmental, negative and narrow. But hey, it’s a free country. Why don’t you start your own church instead of taking pot shots at ones that are doing their best?

    I won’t be recommending your site to anyone.

    I have just experienced this web site and I find it to be a BIG joke. The churches that you highly recommended displayed, (as I read the churches doctrinal beliefs and practices), no real commitment to God. Some of these “Highly Recommended” churches drink, smoke, and live life according to the flesh. So, that tells me that the critics on this web site have no real insight of who God is. God is Holy, what makes you think that you can live any kind of way and make it in to Heaven? This reminds me of the scripture that states,(Matthew 7:13-14)…wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:….narrow is the way, which leadeth to life, and few there be that findeth.” There will be MANY that “say” they love the Lord, but when they stand before HIM, HE shall say depart from me ye workers of iniquity. So my suggestion to those that critique these churches, may need to return to a few of those churches that were rated “poor” and take a second look and listen for once…You might learn the true meaning of salvation. You all are in my prayers!!!
