What started out as a little church called “Bird Rock” in San Diego, soon became a fascinating cult. Due to being hidden from the world no Major news broadcaster has done a story. Through the course of 40 years of its existence, 3 people took their lives.
Rick Lowe shares his story:
I was born and raised mostly in San Diego, though we moved around quite a bit because my dad served in the military for 22 years. Despite all the moving, we always ended up back in San Diego. After my dad retired, we finally settled there for good, and I went through junior high and high school in SD.
At 19, I had a bit of a panic about what I was going to do with my life and started questioning what the whole “life experience” was all about. Around that time, I joined a non-denominational church—coincidentally the same one Vincent’s dad had just started attending after having a radical life transformation himself.
I didn’t know what to expect when he invited me to a small church meeting, but that night everything began to change for me. My journey really took off when I started asking deeper questions that had been on my mind for a while.
I joined a Bible study called the “Who, What, Where” study. It was fascinating and actually made sense—it addressed the big questions about why we’re here.
That’s also when I met Kim at a Bible study class in San Diego. Fast forward—44 years together, 5 kids, and 2 grandkids later—we ended up getting married in our church community a couple of years after meeting.
Our church had three locations across San Diego, and Kim and I were in different ones at first. But a few times a year, all the groups would come together for events and gatherings as one big community.
One of our pastors had a vision for something beyond just regular Sunday services. He began exploring the idea of forming a Christian community—something that would support families and help us live out God’s principles in everyday life. About a third of our church members joined in.
We were inspired by other Christian communities and, after about a year of praying and considering, it felt like God was leading us in that direction.
We ended up spending 32 years there. We had amazing neighbors and deep friendships, and honestly thought we’d stay there forever. But God had other plans—and here we are today, with a lifetime of memories, lessons, and experiences behind us.
