What visitors say
Hi everyone, I found the true meaning of humanity in the warm and loving community of Foothills United Methodist Church. Every single member radiates kindness, compassion, and a genuine spirit of hospitality. The moment I walk through the doors, I feel surrounded by peace, love, and positive energy. What makes this church truly special is that their words are lived out in their actions. Their faith is not only preached but practiced with open hearts and helping hands. As a foreigner, I came in as a stranger and yet, I was welcomed as family. Today, I feel that this community is not just a church; it is home. Pastor Leigh, thank you for your unwavering support and gentle care. And dear Susan, director of the Good Shepherd Ministry, thank you for guiding me to this beautiful place. You have given me more than just a church , you’ve given me belonging, love, and hope. With all my heart, thank you. Neda❤️ Very lovely setting. I was passing out flyers for a new nonprofit dance studio, Blossom&Bloom in La Mesa. I briefly spoke with personnel at the child care and the pastor of the church. I mentioned to him that the campus looked beautiful and ready for learners. Anyone looking for childcare would be smart to check out Foothills United Methodist and its childcare programs. Foothills United Methodist Church is an absolutely beautiful venue for a wedding! As a photographer and videographer, I really appreciated their friendly attitude and no restrictions. The warm, inviting atmosphere helped create a memorable day for everyone involved. If you’re looking for a picturesque and welcoming place for your wedding, I highly recommend Foothills United Methodist Church! I loved Foothills when I attended there. At the time Rev. John Farley was Pastor. I found the congregation to be welcoming and most were friendly. It was a “higher scale” with more than average having college degrees and in a higher economic group. That said, the sermons were down to Earth and enjoyable and to the point. I attended two years before joining because one of the Associate Pastors said, God was “Awesome”. Coming from my Baptist upbringing it didn’t seem that was the “right way”, to refer to God. So I attended, watched and listened. At Christmas they hosted a reenactment of Christ’s birth, outside for the community to watch. They featured live animals in the manger, where children could pet them after the play. I met several women, when I volunteered, as they did, to be shepherds on the hill, tending our wooden cutout flock. It was a rewarding experience and we repeated it a few times. On Maudlin Thursday, (the night before Good Friday) many of us gathered for a Seder Meal. I found it interesting and educational. It’s a church for families and singles alike. I think it’s important to attend a church that has a history and “fellow churches”, you can go from city to city and still find a Methodist Church. You can count on a Pastor who has graduated from a Seminary College and knows what he’s talking and teaching about. That he Believes in God, Jesus Christ as His Son, who God sent to forgive our sins and be our Savior. I moved to AZ to care for my Granddaughter, so my daughter could go to Nursing School. The “start up” churches here, are pretty much everywhere these days, and can’t compare to a UMC, Baptist, or Congregation Church. I took a nine month Bible course at Foothills and learned so much more about the Lord’s Book. If you’re in the neighborhood and live on Mt Helix, El Cajon, La Mesa or Rancho San Diego, I would highly recommend giving Foothills a try. It’s been twenty years or more since I’ve been able to attend there. I would bet though, there’s still a Welcoming Source there, who would love to greet you any Sunday. I have been attending at the church for 2 years. Great teaching from pastoral staff and really great music both from contemporary and traditional services. Congregation is not huge, so you won't feel lost in a huge crowd. There is a school here for wee ones. Kind, open and inviting people.
