I came from Canada in 2000 and was looking for a place to get to know other believers and grow together. I was very happy to meet Pastor John Ettore at an inter church leadership conference and get to know him and his wife. They are truly genuine people with a strong call of God on their life and a love for people. Gathering Place Church is God's presence centered, Holy Spirit led, worshipful, strong teaching and great weekly groups that are family. I recommend this church to anyone in San Diego area. We even have friends from Canada and Arizona that call GPC their home. Our mission there is Loving Jesus - Loving people - Serving our World.
