Foothills Christian Church

There are so many ways and groups in order to get involved and there are constant programs reaching out to members and new attendees. The child’s program exceeds all of my expectations. There are HUGE classrooms and a children’s area in which all development is encouraged. There are places for climbing, using fine and gross motor skills and age appropriate challenges. There is a specified location for middle school and high school and those are great areas. There are several volunteers on the weekends and each are clear as to what needs to be done, filled out and how to check out your child at the end.
The preschool program provides snacks for weekly preschool students and the parents just provide a lunch. There is nap time, crafts, weekly themes, various sensory tables and experienced teachers. The director constantly knows what is going on, what the teachers are teaching and ensure that each child’s needs are met. The price is very reasonable.
The pre-​school aged kids have a summer program and the same applies. There are classes daily for 3 – 5 year olds. The director is a well experienced individual, Tiffany, who knows how to effectively run a child care community and engage everyone so they feel involved and stay involved. Payments are once a month summer/​school year and it makes it entirely easier to remember vs having to pay every week especially with the reasonable rates.
The walls are colorful, the bathrooms are constantly clean, the teachers are experienced, the arts and crafts are strongly encouraged and each child has a place for their belongings and their own cubby. There are several community child care centers which don’t have this or say they do and don’t. There are places for each child to have a sense of belonging. The bathrooms are not shared bathrooms like some facilities so this place encourages privacy and self respect with a teacher/​parent close by should the child need help.
There are two teachers per class and it is assured that each student and child gets effectively cared for. Everybody knows what is going on when, where and what is happening. There is effective communication in what the child needs to have and the daily schedules which are abided by. There are no TV’s so the children are challenged in play, group activities, riding bikes, and individual activities with books, puzzles, or imagination.
The volunteers on the weekends for services are just as informed and informing when parents have a question. Questions are answered promptly and nobody says «I don’t know» they say let me find out for you, we are going to ask so and so. The safety of the child is significantly ensured by multiple adults in the room and a number assigned to the child and parent so if the child needs something during service the parent can see the number on the screen and quietly attend to the needs of the child. Playground release forms are required and each staff member is diligently effective in making sure you get this information as well as other various things that are happening.
There are many groups during the week at various times for mothers, fathers, couples, college students and people of all ages. This church ensures that there are ways to stay informed and involved. This church has a large audience however with the constant support of groups, programs and the get involved card there are quickly ways to get to know people. You wont get «lost» in the crowd.
The sermons are personable, the pastor includes personal experiences, encouragement and support to the audience. Everything is very reasonable, personable, and this is a very encouraging environment for personal growth of all ages.

If you are looking for a church body seeking to worship God and honor Him, this is it. We were introduced to Foothills via our kids and drawn in by the amazing youth program. There is a humility and sincerity that resonates.

This is my church for now! I love what this church is doing in Cuba, Guatemala & Youth Adventure. I am part of a church that has reached out to more than half a million souls! It’s amazing how God is working thru this church to bring lost souls to salvation. The pastors, volunteers and the people here are very friendly, and very warm folks.

I honestly don’t even understand why this church is such an anomaly. It is hard not to believe they’re God fearing and honoring by the way the Lord has completely blessed their ministry. It has been an incredible blessing to be apart of the family that is Foothills. If you don’t feel like you know why you exist or have a home, you’re welcome here!

There is something seriously special about this church. The pastors, the worship, the community. There are so many ways to get involved. This church’s passion for youth is unmatched in San Diego.

Spirit lead. Bible based. Very involved in the community. What more would you be looking for?

Foothills has been my home church since I was in jr. High. They truly care about the youth all the way from little kids to college age and have a lot of different programs and groups to go to.
Though it is a large church they offer a lot of ways to get involved and get to know people in smaller group settings. If you are looking for a church to go to I would recommend giving Foothills a try!

This Church has been an amazing place, from the worship band to the pastors Mark and Dave. Absolutely love this church. Does so much for kids in the county. Everyone is so great and loving. Amazing place to meet new amazing people and learn Gods word!

I love Foothills Christian Church! They are totally devoted to our community. They offer numerous programs for children through Youth Venture and have a real desire to be a blessing to those less fortunate in East County. Kevin Miller is my favorite. He is a tireless volunteer and has personally touched my life during incredibly difficult times by praying for me and my family. I would recommend this church to anyone.

This church is amazing! Such changes they have made for our youth and family! Love it

Great Church Great Place to meet God Where you are at and have support from people who really care

Foothills Christian Church is a church filled with people who are passionate about their relationship with God. Dave and Mark Hoffman are the pastors of the church. Their messages (sermons) are woven with a combination of bible scriptures and personal, sometimes raw, anecdotes. Both men speak from the heart and they are serious about their calling and the church’s responsibilities to the congregation. The services are also filled with music and «the band» is well practiced performing mostly modern Christian music. Overall, the services are energetic and moving. Foothills has a large, tight community with a large number of groups that include many youth oriented programs. Newcomers and visitors are always welcome and I would highly recommend this church to anyone looking to build on their relationship with God.

Great church and great support! Worship is way better than when we showed up 2 years ago, but the main focus of God and support is there!!! I am a fan.

Awesome church, I love it. Feels like a family even though its a bigger church. I like that they have 3 services. Saturday night 630 – 8, and Sunday morning 9 – 10:30and 10:45 — 12:15
