Best of SD 2007: Best Upscale Neighborhood in Which to Find Jesus

By moving The Rock Church to Point Loma, Pastor and ex-Charger Miles McPherson knowingly (or not) made an offensive move: He put Jesus back in the hands of the rich man.

The Rock was previously located on the SDSU campus, but now San Diegans can find Jesus in the epicenter of luxurious living. Before the sermon, worm your way to the front so as to not miss McPherson's body movements and hand gestures—call it interpretative preaching.

The prayer wall, where people write their requests on the block walls of the sanctuary, is both humbling and frightening. You think you know your neighbors? Make sure Nosy Nina isn't looking while you scrawl away your sins.
