We meet at 10 am Sundays at Lexus Center in Escondido
Welcome
If you are visiting for the first time we would love to get to know you. Please fill out this CONTACT CARD and be sure to add any prayer needs.
We are a Spirit-filled, non-denominational Christian church that loves to celebrate God, minister His love to one another, and believe His promises for victorious living. Most of all, we’d like to meet you, answer your questions, and introduce you to the Gathering Place Church.
What you will quickly discover is that we are a community of believers who are committed to three things:
- experiencing the goodness and greatness of God;
- building genuine Christian friendships; and
- making a difference in our community and world.
What to Expect
Visiting a church for the first time can be an intimidating experience. We’ve all been there. So, we’d like to ask you to do one very important thing: relax. We are a non-denominational church where everyone is welcome.

Details, Details
If you are wondering what to wear, just dress casually. We’re not formal around here. Besides, it’s not a fashion show; we’re here to worship God.

What About the Youth? What Do They Do?
If you have teens they are going to love our youth ministry! We are a great team who is passionate about drawing teens to Jesus, teaching them to follow Him, helping them to connect with other teens, and raising them up as the next generation of kingdom leaders! Check out the youth page.
What is a Weekend Service Like?
To start, we have awesome, contemporary, Spirit-filled worship that brings you into the presence of God. We are blessed to have a lot of very talented musicians at GPC. Often there is a time of just waiting on God, allowing the Holy Spirit to touch our hearts. You will almost always hear a testimony or two of the great things God has done in people’s lives from the previous week. These keep us in touch with the goodness and greatness of God! If you would like prayer, there is the time during the service set aside for this purpose, usually at the end of worship or after the message. We like to believe in God for the impossible. We have seen God do some amazing things. Multi-media is often used to promote upcoming events or to help powerfully communicate the message for the day. You’ll also receive powerful teaching that will be immediately applicable to your life. We break into discussion groups following this message where you can get to know some people. Afterward, we invite you to hang out to talk, or pray with one another.
