    I attended the Gaither Vocal Band concert at this church. Great facility. A great church for concerts. Sound quality was good. They do offer comfy seating at the back of the church. It does require climbing stairs. Lots of parking and handicap parking available.

    We love Genoa Baptist Church! Its a wonderful place to worship, and from our first time there, we felt welcomed. Pastor Frank is hilarious and at the same time, extremely knowledgeable. We've also attended a number of events like the "Trunk or Treat" for kids, and they're always well staffed with kind and caring people. If you're looking for a new church, give them a try!

    If you're a believer & want a church to feed you spiritually, then Genoa Church in Westerville is it! If you want to hear the "full truth of God" then Genoa Church is it! If you want to hear a "beautiful" choir + singers in front whom sing to our Lord God in full joy & worship, then Genoa Church is it! If you want to go to a church & just listen to "what your itching ears want to hear," then this isn't for you....UNLESS you're hungry for the truth of God's Word! There's no wallowing of words to please, there's just the "true Word of God" from the Holy Bible!" I have never been to a church that was filled & taught with such amazing, pure love as this one is! So, if you would want to experience this showing of love, listen to the whole truth of God being taught & leave knowing your cup was filled, then give this church a visit! My husband & I drive from Marion to go to this church because it delivers "truth!" Pastor Frank said, "a church alive is worth the drive" & trust me when I say..it is! There's not a person who attends whom won't greet you with sincere friendliness! We have been going for a little over a month & by the time the next Sunday is here are excited to go again! Come listen to Pastor Frank, Pastor Scott or Pastor Joe. Pastor Frank is senior pastor & I've not met such a sincere, kind & loving pastor but we have heard Pastor Scott & Pastor Joe as well & that loving shoe fits them all! They are sincerely concerned for your "Salvation!" Sincere people, sincere love & most of all sincere truth taught of our Lord Jesus Christ!! They have 2 services...9am & 11am so it can fit anyone's schedule.....if you're hungry for the Word that is! God bless all!

    Always enjoy and relate to the message Pastor Frank shares. Everyone is very welcoming and the choir is amazing. I feel like this is the first church I've attended that actually preaches the gospel of Jesus Christ!

  • Binu Varughese7 months ago

    A church that teaches the truth as is without diluting it but always teaching in love. Pastor Frank and the team of pastors are rooted in the Bible and they make the sermons interesting and hilarious. The worship team needs a special mention, the worship is straight from the heart and no gimmicks. We love being part of this church ♥️

    A great church with Pastor Frank being one of the most down to earth big hearted human beings that I have ever met. He came to the rescue with his crew of angels to help my family in one of the worst time all families face, the death of a loved one. I’ll b forever great full to u all.😊 …

    We started coming during Covid and fell in love with Pastor Franks Bible teaching ( without sugar coating) and the music and friendly folks. The youth pastor is amazing and we have watched our grandkids grow in Christ, weekly. It’s amazing to see their new Zeel for Christ, and never wanting to miss.

    Ps I just looked it up from Lyft from me to Greyhound bus station it's $152 no wonder they can't help me This church just told me they was going give me an Uber then they asked me for all my info why so they can get paid for pretending they helped me out when they didn't all they have to do is enter my address where I'm at then the address to the Greyhound bus station at then it gives them the price on the app so they lied to me they got my information from me just to tell me they wasn't going to help me out

  • Chad South8 months ago

    Its my church! Great people and the Bible is taught. If you want solid biblical teaching then this is the place for you!

  • Mike Jenner9 months ago

    This is a very Holy Spirit filled church. Pastor Frank preaches from the heart and it is very evident that he loves Jesus and people.

  • AD DIY2 years ago

    I went to this church for 2 weeks and on the 2nd week, Pastor Frank told a congregation of 600 or so that he hates gay/trans people. I know it is Southern Baptist, but come on man. What a way to make an impression. You can't love Jesus and hate gay people at the same time. It doesn't work that way. Respectfully, I don't think you are going to end up in Heaven, you might make it to purgatory, but it'll be a long time until God let's you through those pearly gates.

    Never liked going to Church...but 5 years ago I found this Church, and it became home and everyone there became my family. Pastor Frank preaches in a way that will keep you interested and laughing at his funny stories. Paster Joe, he is amazing and such a great teacher and friend. I'm so happy God brought me to.this church!

  • Phil Blair9 years ago

    Great place to worship! Great teaching and seems like lots of things to do. Cons- traffic difficult to get in and out. Blocked off rows so they tend to force u to,sit up front. I can never understand why churches do this. For me it's a half an hour away, and I can't see how I can be involved they way I want to be. Overall for my first time I would say this is a good church, Bible teaching church and teaches the word of God.

  • Healing Counseling (Healing Wings Counseling)8 years ago

    We are so blessed to serve and to be a part of this church for the last several years. We know all the pastors and the all have hearts to serve the people and most of all serve the Lord. It is a church that is welcoming and one that looks to always open their arms to new people and old friends. I am very grateful everyday we are a part of this church.

    Lovely church! All of the pastors are very friendly and very nice. Pastor Frank is hilarious and the youth pastor Matt is awesome as well. The church is great and will help you expand your growth with God!

  • Bonnie Shaner9 years ago

    After listening to a handful of podcast sermons, I had the pleasure of visiting Genoa a couple of weeks ago. As a first-time guest, I felt warmly welcomed in the church (friendly servants at coffee station, worship leader & wife greeted me in passing before service), and have been strongly impacted by the bible based sermons. I am involved with the worship at my home church in Pittsburgh, and was inspired by the commitment of the choir (which is huge!) and heart-felt worship. It felt like a place you want to return to, and I will be sure to continue to follow online! Keep shining Genoa!
