About Us

The South congregation of SDCF worships every week on a historic campus in Chula Vista. At the street corner you’ll find a one hundred-year old chapel. The church bell in the steeple invites the neighborhood to prayer and worship. Our current sanctuary, recently remodeled, conveys an updated classic look. A megachurch we are not. It’s truly a place to be known, not lost.


Our congregation has Filipino-American roots, but we desire to reach the diverse people in our surrounding communities. We have a number of active and retired service members, but those of other professions and backgrounds feel equally at home. We have all age groups represented in the South.

Congregational Pastor

My hope for our South congregation is that we would know we are loved, transformed, and sent by God through the faithful teaching of God’s word. I pray this reality would impact how we live out our lives among the surrounding communities and cities, and it would draw those on the outside, regardless of background and culture, to a saving relationship with Jesus. 

 

My hope is that we would help all generations and all kinds of people find their true refuge in Christ alone.
