History and Purpose

Mission Trails Church is just beginning, and we are looking forward to continue finding ways to serve our communities.

• Mission Trails Church is a Christ-centered church whose main sponsor church is Pathways Community Church in Santee.
•  John Worcester and his wife Diane moved to Allied Gardens in 2008 to plant Mission Trails Church.
• Soon after, Joey White and his wife Lisa joined the church planting team and planted Stonelake Church (now 7 San Diego) in Lakeside.
• In January 2010, Kyle Walters became the pastor of Mission Trails Church.  Kyle is married to Carly and they have three kids.
• In October 2010, Mission Trails Church East was launched in the San Carlos neighborhood of San Diego.  Mission Trails Church West (Allied Gardens) and Mission Trails Church East (San Carlos) are a part of one church with two congregations.
• Since our focus as a church is to focus on impacting our neighborhood with the love of Christ, we are eager to see what neighborhood in San Diego County God will lead us to plant our next church site.

Purpose

The purpose of Mission Trails Church is follow the Vintage Jesus.

We use the term Vintage Jesus to emphasize our apprenticeship to original, authentic Jesus Christ of history and the Bible.  We seek to know, follow, love, and serve Jesus Christ.   Jesus loves us completely, transforms us from the inside out, and has a unique purpose for our lives.  For us it is not about religion, but about a relationship with the living person of Jesus Christ.
