Grace Bible Church

«Biblically Sound Church» is what I would call this church. A place where you will get equipped as a saint in Christ quickly, and in a welcoming environment.
This is not my home church because I live in Pacific Beach, but I listen to many podcasts and have visited and met members of the congregation, as well as the Pastor and his wife.
This church is serious about helping people grow in their understanding of what it truly means to be in Christ, how to grow into the image of Him, and life application. This is a place for healing, learning, and growing because Christ is clearly the center stage.
I highly recommend this church to EVERYONE. I wish there were more churches modelled after it so more people could experience what God had intended when he had «church» in mind.

From the Grace Bible website: «we are an independent Christian church locally governed by a plurality of elders who are equal in authority and mutually accountable. We are a founding member of F.I.R.E., a unifying network for independent reformed (and reforming) baptistic churches to experience mutual edification, fellowship, cooperation and prayerful support in ministries and missions.» Some other GBC characteristics:
Evangelical.
Believes the Bible is inerrant and sufficient.
Reformed view of salvation.
Practice believer’s baptism.
Believe Christ is coming again.
Non-​Pentecostal.
I have never set foot in this Church. It is too far for my old car to drive to.
But I do listen to the pod casts of their sermons and LOVE to watch the Cox Cable community channel which broadcasts the «Grace Bible Hour.» These are awesome Bible-​drenched talks on certain topics that delve deep into the meanings of various scriptures and then speak exponentially about them. I like the GBC Pastor-​Jim Newheiser because of his wholesomeness and good, clean authoritative yet friendly manner.
He is now lecturing listeners on not just using the TV or computer to address your spiritual needs but to come out to be in the company of God’s people. Since I already have a great evangelical Church I belong to, I use the Grace Bible Hour as a weekday adjunct. I would say to any North County people that are interested-​go check out Grace Bible Church. They have Sunday Services and Sunday School at 9:00 a.m., 10:45 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The Pastor seems cool and they really push Biblical learning-​which is what it really is all about! Apostolic is the way-​to-​go!
