I've been to TONS of churches and when I visited The Gathering Place, it felt so refreshing and inviting. The Pastors are servant leaders, humble, approachable, and walk the talk. The people are incredibly kind. The children's ministries couldn't have better leaders. I am so fortunate to have stumbled upon this gem! Definitely come visit!

I love GPC church, the people are so friendly, welcoming and down to earth. Pastor John's sermons are anointed and will keep you laughing, crying and hungry for the bible. The worship is so good!! Great place overall. We meet in a school, but the church is just lifechanging.

Moving from Hawaii to beautiful San Diego, I wanted my family to find a church that was not religious, but to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and knowing transparent people, being themselves and not someone they are not. Now that we are moving back to Hawaii after attending the Gather Place Church for over 10-years, we are finding it very difficult to move back to Hawaii leaving our church family. Find out for yourself why we are finding it very difficult to leave this church. Sr. Pastor John Ettore and Assistant Pastor Mark Cowper-Smith are totally used by God advancing your walk and fulfilling God's will for your life!
