Shadow Mountain Community Church — Attraction in El Cajon

Dropped in for a visit on Sunday morning (7-24-22). Parking facilities were great. I elated from my vehicle and a lovely-long haired brunette escorted me to the sanctuary. Quickly I found a seat without another person in the entire row. Out of nowhere a gentleman comes up to me and says, "you're in my seat." Immediately, I apologized and headed down the row. I was ready to sit when he commented "don't seat there either, it's for my wife who sings in the choir." Rats, I thought, all of these invisible people suddenly showing up for their own seats. Alas, though I found a spot free of intervention. The service & singing were dry. At the end, a fine looking-suited gentleman prayed for us & we filed out the doors. I briskly moved towards the only men's room. It was packed and in poor condition. Think of this, thousands coming out of the worship center & only 1 men's lavatory. Folks, build more bathrooms - 10 should do it - 5 for women & 5 for men. Next, I tried to purchase a breakfast burrito advertised at $6.50. However, the cashier charged me $7.71, I kindly mentioned there must an error. Another lady popped up and said the sign was wrong and the higher price was right. Wouldn't it be great if for once the higher price was wrong & the lower one was right? We all know that never happens in rigid capitalism. I exercised a tad bit of consumer sovereignty and left. As I looked back, it seemed like there is not much of a sense of holiness here. Rather it was mostly beige stucco poured into the air. Homeward bound, held...

Super disappointed in this church! After receiving a letter during the pandemic I will never recommend or go here again! The letter was basically communicating how he is "reluctantly" complying with the governor's instructions to remain closed. I like to come from a place of love. Fear, judgement and hate are the opposite of God's word and the love He wishes to spread. The letter read and I quote "of course, in California we have to deal with a very liberal governor and the left wing 9th circuit court". This is NOT a statement meant to bring people together. But a statement meant to separate the two parties. I am neither democrat, nor republican, but I am Christian and I do know the word of God. He absolutely does not wish for us to separate, divide, or create hate. That is what the devil does. Dr. David Jeremiah should be promoting love, understanding, compassion and togetherness. Proverbs 10:12 "Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs." 1 Peter 4:8 "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." 1 John 4:7 "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God." 1 Corinthians 13:13 "So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love." I hope pastor David Jeremiah reconsiders his words and instead encourages the two parties to love one another and work...

We have no food and drove to shadow mountain using the last little bit of gas we had to get commodities from their box distribution in Friday 4/26/24.. we arrived told them we have never been here before and was promptly told that they could not help us ...they stop distributing food at 1 it was 12:40 ....I looked around at the mountain of food and boxes that were stock piled and unclaimed and asked if we could wait until 1 and if there was any unclaimed food if we could possibly have some...we were promptly told no..... .I explained we again that have no food and pleaded for help...my plea was responded with "we help thousands of registered families and spend 400k every year to help them and our registration is full and locked" and then he told us to seek help somewhere else as he turned us away.............I am so disappointed in this mega church and their lack of compassion for our family...how is this doing God's work? WWJD? Surely not turn away those in need!! It appears the Shephard has...
