I live in Louisiana and I tune in and watch on my phone all the time. I also call in and get daily prayer on the prayer line that you can listen to every morning. The bishop and his family are doing a fantastic job allowing God to use them! …

I was invited by a friend. Arrived there and the parking lot attendants directed me to the first time visitors parking, which was in front. Walked in and the greeters were very welcoming and friendly. Directed to the desk and the greeter behind the counter gave me a bag of items from the church. The church is large and roomy. The Praise and Worship was awesome! The Pastor preached a good Word. I really enjoyed myself and plan to go back!

My favorite place ever! Praise and worship is always on point actually the entire service and Bishop Davis is amazing. His teachings are so easy to follow and he breaks the word down to where a 5 year old can understand. Great atmosphere and although some may consider this a mega church you will feel at home.

I really LOVE this church!!! A guy that I used to work with by the name Robert Hemingway (Hollywood) invited me to this church and I kept putting it off. Then one Sunday I decided to go and I LOVED what I saw, heard, and felt!! The experience was like none other!! The spirit of God is truly in this place!! I have been to a lot of churches and this is the best church that I have been to in my life (hands down)!! I only got to experience it for a little while because I relocated to Laurens, SC. and I was so mad at myself for not attending sooner. Every chance I get I go back to visit I was just there for Easter and the service was phenomenal!!!

Awesome church to receive true teachings & to grow. The age groups are distributed pretty evenly; not more of one over the other...as well as for the ratio of men & women. There is a ministry for just about everyone to serve on.
