We’re a real, imperfect family chasing after Jesus together right here in Imperial Beach. Come as you are, grab a cup of coffee, and let’s take the next step of faith side by side.

New Here?
What to Expect
Walking into a new church can feel intimidating. Here’s exactly what your first Sunday will be like.
1
A Warm Welcome
A friendly face will meet you at the door, help you find your way, and point you to coffee. No pressure, no spotlight — we're just glad you came.
2
Uplifting Worship
Expect heartfelt contemporary worship, honest prayer, and a practical message from the Bible you can actually use this week. Plan on about 75 minutes.
3
Care for Your Kids
Our safe, fully-staffed kids' ministry runs during the Sunday service, so your little ones are loved and learning while you worship.
Who We Are
Our DNA
These five priorities are what we believe God is calling us to be and become as His church here in Imperial Beach. They’re on the walls as you walk in — and they’re the heartbeat of everything we do.
P
People
The church isn't the building — it's the people. Loving people into a growing relationship with Jesus is our first priority.
P
Presence
Like Moses, our cry is “if Your Presence doesn't go with us, we don't want to go.” We long for God to be felt the moment you walk in.
P
Power
The same power Jesus promised the early church is for every believer today — power from the Holy Spirit to live the life God calls us to.
P
Purpose
That power has a purpose. God has a plan for every follower, and we help you discover and live out who He's calling you to be.
P
Passion
We don't follow Jesus out of fear or obligation. We love Him, serve Him, and love people with everything we've got.
Our Faith
What We Believe
We’re a Spirit-filled church proud to be part of the Assemblies of God. Here’s the heart of it.
The Bible
The Scriptures are the inspired Word of God — our guide for faith, life, and everything in between.
One God
One true God revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — who knows you and loves you personally.
Salvation in Jesus
Jesus lived, died, and rose again so that anyone who trusts Him can be forgiven and born again.
The Spirit's Power
The Holy Spirit fills, empowers, and gifts every believer to live for God and love others well.
