Newbreak Church

It’s truly a come as you are church. broken, beaten and torn, this is where you can find a home. I remember my first time there and how nervous i was, but someone took my hands and guide me in the right direction. Come check it out and please stay!

For many years I avoided churches. I can honestly say that it had been more then a decade since I have felt fellowship from a church and wanted to return. If you are looking for a traditional Christian church you’re welcome to attend but you might find that NewBreak is not your cup or tea. However if you’re looking for a church of Christ Followers who truly try to follow and live the preaching then please come on by. No bible thumping here however Pastor Mike or Pastor DJ do preach and provide life lessons from the bible.
They have many self help courses called Life Groups where you will interact with fellow members of the church and leaders to better and enrich your life. I would have signed up for 1 myself but unfortunately schedule does not allow. Everyone from the clergy to the congregation are humble and down to earth. You literally can come in shorts and a tshirt and still be greeted with open arms. Worship is amazing as the congregation is beyond talented and I always find myself singing along which I have almost not done at any church in many many years.
If you’re looking for a home, looking for a place to feel welcomed, looking to find answers and seek fellowship I whole heartedly ask you to attend a service and see if NewBreak could be that for you. Many blessings as you continue in all your journeys.

We tried out Newbreak because it was in our neighborhood, which I thought was pretty cool and rather convenient. I’m a little surprised that bothers people. I do agree that it is a little non traditional, but as the saying goes, you can’t keep trying the same thing and expect different results. I’ve been in church nearly all my life and so far this is the first time I have felt challenged as a Christian to not only pursue a real, authentic relationship with God, but with the community around me, as well as areas that may be lacking community. They have done events at my kids school and I find it really awesome how the kids see Newbreak at THEIR school and how excited they are that THEIR church is out volunteering and serving. My husband was raised catholic, so he does have hard time with the relaxed dress code. Coming from a single parent family that was pretty poor growing up, I feel like taking the stress off the dress code is more encouraging to those may not be able to afford «Sunday best» type clothes. Praising God is about coming as you and letting God meet you right where you are. If you aren’t sure about attending Newbreak, I highly recommend trying out the Newbreak 101 life group to give you a better idea of who the church is and what they’re all about. You won’t be disappointed. We will be sad to leave when we have to move again.

I have been going to this church for many years and I really like it. The pastors and leaders are real people and I don’t feel like I have to be fake. However it makes me sad that there are a couple reviews hear from people who have their own agenda and never have actually attended the church. The church was going to let a charter school that was focused towards helping military use their facilities in Tierrasanta but apparently some neighbors had issues with any extra traffic. I do not understand how this is a negative thing? Nevertheless my kids love the church and I really enjoy how the focus on serving their communities.

Not traditional at all! Not what I’m used to. Very welcoming. First time going and am interested in coming again!

This is hardly a church. Certainly, it is a place of unethical business. I am in disbelief that people who go here, cannot see it for what it really is. It has also, over the years, become the neighborhood nuisance, too focused on growing the business in the large shopping mall they own (yep, there go the taxes that could support the city if a non-​church entity owned it!). The «church’s» lawyers go around bullying local businesses and residents. Currently, the «church» is in a fight against the neighborhood, trying to expand its business further with zero regard for the safety, well being, and opinions of the locals. They are spreading their tentacles all around the area, causing nuisance to the locals by taking over the neighborhood parks and creating dangerous situations with the omnipresent traffic and blocking the area streets. For anyone who has ever read the bible, this place is its abomination!

This is a very non traditional church in the sense of teaching the bible, but their beliefs are traditional. Just to clarify… You can literally go in your shorts and flip flops if you want and no one will look at you like you are crazy. (This is a leap for this Catholic girl… lol) They are affiliated with the Assembly of God church.
We have been there with the Pastor preaching his sermon in person and when the Pastor preaching through a video screen. LOL… Apparently he was at one of the other churches and it was live streamed to the church we were at and also the other churches. The Pastor is very blunt in his sermons… it will not be your typical day at church… lol Don’t get me wrong, he is not offensive, just very open/​blunt.
The church seems to be spread out among the businesses that surround it. The children are split up into different age groups and put in different classes for their teachings. My son loves it. :) My daughter hasn’t gone in yet… she is in the awkward faze of being too old for one, not old enough for the other. So she has stayed with us.
What I do find very comical is that as you enter the parking lot, leading to the church, it is a one way/​one lane, and there is a drive up ATM… lol…

I went for the first time and this is my opinion. I didn’t like that it was too dark inside the church because when I think about God, I think about light and beauty. I also didn’t like that we couldn’t find a seat and had to sit in a corner but I guess that’s because we came a few minutes after the service starts. The main thing was the worship team.. They were all dressed like they were going to the park or like any other day. I don’t like this because I think as the worship team they should dress nicer for God, as a form of love and reverence. I doubt we will go to church in heaven in jeans and tshirt. God likes order, He wants us to be more like Him. I truly say this with good intentions that they should consider this since they are on the altar. Also one guy had a cap on the whole time. It’s just rude to me. We are here to serve the Lord not some fake god who doesn’t exist. I know God looks at the heart but he also cares about how we praise him. When singers go sing to the president they don’t show up in jeans, they put on beautiful dresses and look really put together! If the president who is just a man gets this kind of reverence and respect how much more shouldn’t our God recieve?

I have attended and worked at many churches in my life, and this is the healthiest I ever known (these ranged from small Methodist churches to the Crystal Cathedral). Leadership is an issue of the heart, and the heart of Pastor Mike and the rest of the leadership team is one of humility– Exalting God Only! In over 11 years of seeing this church from the outside and inside, I find that, in spite of the imperfections found in any organization, Newbreak continually seeks to be about Jesus and not about themselves. I highly recommend giving Newbreak a try– it might be life changing!

Newbreak is a great church. Of course everyone is different and no single church can be perfect for everyone, but I’ve been a member at several different churches, and Newbreak is the real deal. Great messages, great people, great music, just all around it’s a great place to spend time with God, finding God, meeting people, etc.

We have been attending Newbreak for 2 ½ years now. I grew up catholic turned episcopalian and we had been thinking about trying out a more non secular type of worship. I have a few friends that attend Newbreak but not at the Tierrasanta campus. My children & I were at the tierrasanta parade one day & happened to park in front of the church. Fate? We were warmly greeted by Oreda who told me a little about the church. We attended as a family the next day for the Sunday service. We LOVED the laid back atmosphere and everyone was so friendly & welcoming. The messages are great & relevant & the music is amazing. We have been back every single Sunday since. I play guitar & my husband teaches Sunday school. We are involved in life groups & have made lifelong friends. I HIGHLY recommend coming here :)

Very welcoming to newcomers! Relevant messages and awesome, modern music.
I was looking for a non-​denominational church yet found Newbreak to be what I was looking for. It is a Christian church that is welcoming for anyone, new to church or deeply familiar. Young or old. Happy or broken. Great church!

Gosh, I wish I could give it somewhere between 2 and 3 stars. First off, it’s your typical non-​denominational christian church meaning good contemporary worship, shorter sermons, and free coffee and donuts. However, after 6 months, we left.
The church did a 4 or 5 week series on tithing, a questionable practice to burden today’s christians with, as new testament only calls us to be a cheerful giver, but regardless, many churches are teaching the 10% thing, so I get it, even if I don’t agree. No, what was abominable was the «money back guarantee» they gave on their «90 day tithing challenge.» (90 days, 10% of gross income entirely to NB).
I give them credit for trying, but also was disappointed to find out that the pastors don’t write their own sermons, rather they have a paid sermon writing team at the head office in Tierrasanta, and all pastors at every one of the 6 or 7 campuses give the same sermon every sunday.
Children’s program was great, and it’s hard to find any fault there.
When I left the church, those who we were friendly with stopped calling us completely. Disappointed. And, since the people ARE the church, not the building according to scripture, this place gets only 2 stars. If you were to wander in on an avg sunday and never get involved, it might be higher.

Interactive service. Relate able content. Warm & welcoming. Love the name tags & the coffee break is great too.
The worship is ordained and clearly led my the Spirit. Ron and the team do a wonderful job. The service flows quite well and Pastor MIke keeps the attendees engaged and interacting with his teaching. The Saturday night service is extremely convenient and feels quite intimate too. They now offer Newbreak Nights which is an extension of the service on Saturday nights. It includes food trucks, family style tables to enjoy community with other attendees and live music. It’s really quite a great idea.

We came across Newbreak (Canyon View originally) back in 2006 on a very bad emotional day for me and thought what the hay let’s give it a try. We fell in love immediately. Everyone took their time out to introduce themselves, get to know our kids, and help us. After 6 months, I found myself in the 2 yr old room working every Sunday for almost 2 years. We had 2 children accept Christ and 2 that were dedicated there. It was our home away from home. After we moved we had not been able to find a church that we all felt comfortable in.
Now that we’re back in the area after almost 3 yrs being gone, we still enjoy coming. With our first day back, we ran into people left and right that we knew and lost contact with. The pastor staff remembered who we were even by name. It just confirmed that Newbreak is our home, it was truly like we hadn’t left at all.
The children’s ministry is beyond fabulous still. Always inventive, outgoing, and full of love. The sermons are on target, conveyed with today’s themes, and very easy to grasp. The life groups are amazing. My only wish is that one day they’ll open a location down in Chula Vista so that we can have life groups down here as it’s not feasible for us to drive to Tierrasanta 2 times a weeks.
If you are considering visiting Newbreak, don’t hmm & aww over it; just do it. You will NOT be disappointed.

We are a military family, and this has been our home church for about 18 months. Both my husband and I knew the second we heard Pastor Mike speak that this was the place for us. We have four children ages preschool to high school. Our kids beg us to stay for multiple services beause they have so much fun, and look forward to the mid-​week programs offered. I can’t say enough good things about the junior high and high school youth groups– our whole family has grown SO much being a part of this wonderful church, and we have made life-​long friendships here.

Awesome church. Down to earth, casual, and friendly.

This church is so down to earth and real. The people and pastors really care about you and show it as they live their lives and show God’s love through their words and actions.
The worship experience is AWESOME and the coffee breaks during services are pretty cool! They have great kids programs and small groups for any topic you could ever want! The community outreach is outstanding!
If you are searching for a church come try out one of the (currently 5) campuses whichever is closest to you… see if it feels like ‘home’ to you!

The pastor, Mike Quinn, likes to say that what’s more important than going to church is actually being the church. If you’re looking for a place where you can be real and actually live life with other people who want to do the same, then this church is for you.
When you visit, be sure to stop by the visitor’s table so that you can get connected with a Life Group, get info on the many events and ministries going on, and get a free gift (I’m not sure what it is, they change it up every once in a while). A good place to start is a group called Newbreak 101; it’s a group designed to welcome you into the church and get you connected with other groups and ministries. Check it out!

You can’t get more genuine than this church!
One Church, many locations: «Come as you are. We are a casual, flip-​flop wearing crowd that likes to have fun and laugh in church. No matter what your church background is, we would love for you to come check us out for our weekend experience and you’ll find a warm greeting, a fun, safe place for your children and a relevant and life-​changing message.»
