The Church at Rancho Bernardo has grown exponentially since it first opened in 1990. Founded in a living room by two Christian couples, it soon expanded to a school, and now operates out of an expansive building on Bernardo Plaza Court, where the church is home to more than 2,000 members. The ministry focuses on improving the lives and spirituality of church members. Church leaders say, "Our desire is that The Church at Rancho Bernardo be an environment that offers friendship and encouragement, as well as personal and spiritual growth."
