Welcome! I'm Pastor Doug, the Senior Pastor here at Faith Community Church by the Sea. We're glad you stopped by to visit our web site, and would love to have you stop in and be our guest on a Sunday morning for our 9:30am worship service and Café time at the Encinitas Community Center here in Encinitas, CA.

We opened our doors in Del Mar, CA in November of 1996 as a church plant of Emmanuel Faith Community Church in Escondido, CA. We recently purchased property in Encinitas, CA for our future development, and are currently working with the city of Encinitas to obtain our Conditional Use permit so that we can begin meeting on the property and better serve the wonderful people of Encinitas and the surrounding communities.

Our church mission is very simple:

Calling people into a growing relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through Devotion to God, God's people, and our World.

Our worship service is a blend of contemporary and traditional music with clear relevant teaching, and a good dose of time to casually sit and snack around our caf� tables, catching up on life and what we are learning together about God. So, if you enjoy a contemporary worship environment, want a better understanding of God's truths, are searching for a place where your children will look forward to coming back to again and again, and desire to develop close caring relationships, then come and be our guest on Sunday morning and join your journey of faith with ours.
