About Create Church
Create Church began with a dream to build a space for genuine connection in the heart of San Diego—where people could move from good intentions to meaningful action. Founded by Lead Pastors Jake and Kaelia Vayda, the church launched in October 2024 in San Diego's North Park neighborhood.
The church's mission is simple: to connect people with God and others, so together they can make all things new. In a city known for creativity and culture, Create Church believes the greatest thing to create is community. The congregation is made up of people craving meaningful work, deep relationships, and ways to give back.
Create Church welcomes skeptics, seekers, and everyone in between, maintaining that wherever people are in their faith journey, there is room for them. The church meets every Sunday at 10:00 AM at 6745 Amherst Street in San Diego's North Park neighborhood.
Jake Vayda holds a Master's in Ministry from Point Loma University, and his wife Kaelia earned a Bachelor's in Christian Studies from the same institution. Together, they have served in San Diego for seven years, with Kaelia being a San Diego native.
