My family and I attended the English service at 11.15 am; there is also a Spanish-language service at 9 am. Parking for this church is very limited. We parked right outside the front of the church and found ourselves blocked in when we wanted to leave afterwards.
The church itself is a small warehouse (typical of Calvary Chapel churches), and holds about 70 people. There were about 30 or so people there when we attended, and a mix of middle-aged and younger people, with children too. Children left during the service, and our son went too. He enjoyed his time at Sunday School. We gather he played lots of games with Bible themes.
The music was entirely contemporary worship songs, led by a small band. The sermon was given by the pastor, Gabriel De Alba, and was VERY good. The pastor evidently knows his Bible very well, and gave a very well-rounded sermon with relevant background, a good message and good application.
I think the thing that put me off this church was just its condition... the decrepit warehouse look, with bare fluorescent lights and breeze-block walls didn't lend to a very comfortable feel. People weren't particularly welcoming - no-one came up to us and introduced themselves, although someone did very kindly lend us their Bible (no Bibles were provided).
