Passion For Christ

Pastors to Prisoners is a 501c3 non-profit organization providing ongoing financial support and discipleship to ordained or licensed Christian ministers. We call them Yard Pastors, because each one serves God in one prison yard, which by themselves can contain up to 1000 inmates. These ministers hear God’s call to work with the incarcerated as full-time volunteers under the direction of prison chaplains in prison facilities. Our ultimate goal for inmates is spiritual freedom in prison, success in society and entry into Christ’s Kingdom. To get involved or more information go to https://www.pastorstoprisoners.org/

In today’s culture, the true character of Jesus is often misunderstood—reduced to sound bites or shaped by extremes. But the Jesus revealed in the Bible is far more beautiful, powerful, and transformational than the versions the world tends to portray. At College Avenue Baptist Church, we are committed to helping you truly know Him, deeply love Him, and faithfully follow Him. For more information, visit  https://www.collegeave.church

At Calvary Vista, everything begins and ends with Jesus.

The Calvary Vista Church exists to help you know Jesus and make Him known, clearly, simply, and faithfully. Led by Pastor Jason Duff, each message centers on biblical teaching that points to Simply Jesus, All for Jesus, All about Jesus, and All through Jesus.

Calvary Vista desire is to bring glory to Jesus in the way we live, think, and engage our culture. Whether you’re new to faith, returning to church, or seeking deeper understanding, Calvary Vista creates an environment where Jesus is front and center, and where His grace shapes everyday life. 

You’ll hear Scripture taught clearly, questions addressed honestly, and truth shared with conviction and love, so you can grow in faith that’s grounded, thoughtful, and real.

Special Feature: Make It Make Sense – Apologetics Conference

There’s a growing hunger for real answers in a confusing world. In connection with Calvary Vista’s Make It Make Sense Apologetics Conference, this conference explores why belief in the God of the Bible is reasonable, trustworthy, and life-changing, helping attendees think critically and biblically amid today’s mixed messages.

Because when faith is centered on Jesus, everything else starts to make sense.

In a landscape often fragmented by division, what does it truly look like to build a "together" church? In this episode, we sit down with Jake McDonnell, Lead Pastor of Coastlands Community Church in San Diego.

Jake joins us to share the remarkable story of Coastlands—a community built not on preference, but on the profound unity of the Kingdom of God. From his perspective as a credentialed educator and a seasoned urban missionary of over 10 years, Jake discusses the intentionality behind merging congregations and creating a space where diversity isn't just a buzzword, but a lived reality.

We dive into:

• The "Coastlands" Vision: Why Psalm 97:1 serves as the heartbeat for their community.

• Radical Love: Exploring Romans 5:8 and the power of God’s love for us "while we were still sinners."

• A Church for Everyone: How Coastlands serves San Diego through unique ministries like their Saturday Cantonese Bible Study and the city’s oldest Celebrate Recovery program.

• The Urban Mission: Jake's journey from Ferguson, MO, to planting roots and fostering unity in the heart of San Diego.

Whether you’re a ministry leader or someone looking for hope in community, Jake’s insights on "Bible-believing and community-serving" faith will leave you inspired to see the many coastlands rejoice.
