Elsinore First Assembly - Lake Elsinore, California

I attended a vow renewal ceremony at Elsinore First Assembly Church, and I was extremely disappointed by the experience—specifically due to the pastor. His message was shockingly close-minded, rigid, and completely lacking the compassion and openness that Christ’s teachings represent.

Rather than embracing the diverse ways people build strong, loving relationships, he insisted that everything be done strictly his way, dismissing any differing views or life experiences. It felt more like an attempt to control than a celebration of faith or love. In my opinion, his approach is not reflective of Jesus’ teachings, which are rooted in love, grace, and understanding.

It’s deeply concerning that someone with such a narrow perspective is in a position of spiritual leadership. I left feeling uncomfortable, disappointed, and frankly disturbed by the tone and content of what was preached. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this church to anyone seeking genuine spiritual growth or community.

I will not be returning.

Pastor Fred and Kathy Rodriguez are great spiritual leaders we need more leaders like them in all churches I know pastor Fred's time of being a lead pastor is going to change soon and he will be missed. In all the 20 plus years that I have known him and heard his sermons they were all ways what I needed to hear so spiritual lifting whether I'm at church or on you version. I do hope for his succer and I know that it's only another transition in life he mite be a evangelist and spread the word of God around different places.

The Elsinore first assembly church seems good.

This is my first visit to this church.

Unfortunately; they have a guest speaker from India.

And all through out his testimony, he keeps mentioning that he does not have ALOT of money.

He mentioned that his child’s birth process caused birth defects, because of delay by
The Dr ‘due to money.’

I would think that he would volunteer more to help others where he had that issue - to help others give birth when they don’t have money - in the old days of America, it only took one other person to help give birth.

My family visited here for a Christmas pageant and a few other times during the year. The people here are very genuine and the message is not watered down with political or social rhetoric du jour. There are places to get involved for every age group. If you are looking for a new church home were just a place to catch your breath from the storm, this is a nice place to do that. You will leave encouraged and reminded that God loves you and has a great plan for your life.

EFA is one of the most inviting, warm, and "at home" church families you will ever experience. The community here is incredible with multiple opportunities to get plugged in, and many different ministries to serve and be a part of. You can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit here, and it's quite incredible. Don't miss out on these services!!
