This facility is fine for gatherings, meetings, conferences, and so on. The spaciousness and cleanliness are indicative of the careful consideration for patrons and other people who may use this building for various activities. Wi-Fi is available and it worked well, which I and my work mates appreciated greatly. The bathrooms were well stocked and very clean along with strategically placed water fountains as well as exits. It has been a pleasure to work here.

If you truly want to study and understand God's word, Good Hope Baptiste Church is the place to be. The Pastor/teacher, Pastor Ricky Carter break down the bible in a way so you can understand it. Not only the Pastor, but we have preachers and many teachers who can explain whatever the concerns. They have children's church with Pastor Lofton, one of the best teachers on this side of heaven teaching the kids, they love him. Take the time and come visit one Sunday, 8am, Empowerment hour and 9:15am worship service. Hope to see you there.
