Making Room for More
sunday parking guide — college area
We have been in awe of how God has been breathing life into the ministry happening in and through College Ave Church. We’ve encountered a really good problem—we’re running out of room!
As we continue to grow, our desire is to be a church that shines as a beacon of hope in San Diego for everyone who wants to know, love, and follow the real Jesus. Beyond parking and logistics, these changes are about creating space for more people to encounter Him.
Thank you for your continued flexibility, faithfulness, and partnership in what God is doing here. We can’t wait to see how He continues to use our church to reach and serve our community!
Below, you’ll find parking information and ways you can help make room for more.
how to get here
SUNDAY TRAFFIC FLOW
If you can, consider riding to church together with other students, friends, or family.
Plan your best route with traffic in mind! We experience the most traffic coming south on College Ave. Help us save the main lot entrance for those who are visiting our church for the first time! Here are some alternative routes:
Driving from the West: take I-8 West > 70th St Exit > 70th to El Cajon Blvd and enter our east lot from El Cajon Blvd.
Driving from the South: take 94 > College Ave Exit > turn right on El Cajon Blvd to enter our east lot entrance.
Driving from the East: take I-8 East > El Cajon Exit all the way to our east lot on El Cajon.
OR
take I-8 East > College Ave exit > turn east on Montezuma, South on 63rd, and right onto El Cajon Blvd to access our East lot entrance.

WHEN you get here
Services are at 8:30, 10:00, and 11:30am
If you typically attend the earlier service times (8:30 or 10:00am), try out the 11:30am service where we conclude the service with Q&A! At our 8:30 and 10:00am service times, here are some alternate venue options:
Worship Center | 8:30 & 10:00am
Contemporary venue with live worship music and livestreamed teaching, located across the courtyard from the Sanctuary. Sofa & high-top seating available—ideal for note-taking!
Bethel Chapel | 8:30 & 10:00am
Traditional-style worship and livestreamed teaching at the south end of campus. The first Sunday of each month, we celebrate communion together.
Fireside | all services
Full service of worship and teaching is livestreamed, great for young families or nursing mothers.
How You can help
Making room for more is about creating space—both practically and personally—for more people to know, love, and follow the real Jesus.
If College Ave is the church you call home, serving is one of the best ways to help make that happen. Whether you're greeting guests, directing parking, serving coffee, leading kids, or working behind the scenes, every role helps create a welcoming Sunday experience!
