About
Our Pastor
Robert Herber
Robert’s life changed at Baylor University when he encountered a college student whose everyday life reflected the love of Jesus. Discovering that he could know and follow Jesus personally began an adventure that would shape his life, family, and calling.
After studying Religion and Ancient Greek at Baylor, Robert attended Antioch Training School, where he met his wife, Stefanie, while serving on an extended mission trip to Turkey. He later pastored in Waco, Texas, for nearly a decade before Robert, Stefanie, and a small team moved to San Diego in 2007 to plant All Peoples Church.
What began as a handful of people meeting in a home has, by God’s grace, become a vibrant multi-ethnic, multi-generational church committed to helping people follow Jesus in everyday life. Through transformed lives, community outreach, church planting, and missions, Jesus has continued to multiply that simple beginning into a growing family of churches making disciples around the world.
Where We Are
Imagine a community where people from many different backgrounds and cultures are together with one heart and one mind, enjoying the favor of God. That is who we are and who we are becoming at All Peoples Church.
We are a vibrant and hope-filled community of 55 nations and 5 generations on mission for Jesus together. Located at 8262 Allison Ave in the heart of La Mesa, our purpose is transforming lives to bless San Diego, planting churches to transform nations.
Where We Come From
All Peoples Church is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-generational community in San Diego, founded in 2008. We strive to unite people from diverse backgrounds to seek God’s favor and expand His kingdom globally through church planting. In 2022, our parent organization, the Antioch Movement of Churches, officially birthed and blessed All Peoples Church to be its own distinct church-planting movement.
We believe God is leading us to empower leaders worldwide to bless their cities and transform nations. Jesus offers an abundant, world-changing life—one filled with grace and truth, even in the face of struggles. At All Peoples Church, our mission is to exalt Jesus and guide people toward the meaningful life He’s calling them to live.
Where We’re Going
We are currently gathering for worship at 8262 Allison Ave in La Mesa, but we won't be there forever! In 2018, we started our new building plan called The Light Project. The Light Project is a spiritual journey that our church undertook to become a light to the city, the nations, and generations. The project involves the construction of a worship facility on our church-owned 6-acre property at the intersection of Highway 8 and College Avenue.
After years of public engagement and processing of our development application, The Light Project was denied on a split vote by the San Diego City Council. Our Church leadership believes the decision to deny was inappropriate and discriminatory against us as a religious institution.
As a result of this inappropriate denial, which the church believed was in violation of federal law, the church decided to challenge the denial in Federal Court. In a similar case, Our Lady of Peace Academy in San Diego received a favorable judgment after taking legal action for religious discrimination in a land use decision with the City of San Diego.
On March 11, 2025, the City Council voted to reconsider their denial of the Light Project and, subsequently, settled the matter outside of court by approving The Light Project. Church leadership is excited about the future in our new facility and gives all the glory to God! We are also grateful to the City Council for their decision, and we are proceeding with the appropriate next steps to build our future home. Our hearts are full and we remain committed as ever to being a blessing to the neighborhood and to San Diego as a whole in the coming years.
