Keep. A significant conservative megachurch, with a series of prominent pastors, and considerable amounts of coverage in reliable sources[1] [2]. Among other things, it's received national attention for the expensive, star-crossed construction of its church building[3][4] and for the leading role it took in organizing support for California Proposition 8 in 2008. I've added a few sources; quite a bit more appears to be out there, although a lot of it is behind pay walls.--Arxiloxos (talk) 15:44, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It looks like a lot of information has been added after the deletion proposal was put up, but it seems that it is prominent both with the ministers it has and the prominence it takes on social issues, particularly proposition 8. JASpencer (talk) 21:06, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is one of the largest churches in San Diego County (although that may not have been clear when the article was nominated), and it and its pastor are often in the national news. I added several references to the article. --MelanieN (talk) 04:35, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article stated at the time of nomination that this was a megachurch with weekend attendance of 2500. A megachurch has more than 2000 in weekend attendance. General Wikipedia opinion is that all megachurches are wp:notable, and this has been proven once again here. Unscintillating (talk) 02:40, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
