I was parked in the church parking lot to text and take a phone call when I was approached by a man in a white SUV. The man didn’t identify himself and asked me if I needed any help. I replied “no, thank you”! Then the man rudely said “you need to go”! I replied, Im just using my phone and I'm not bothering anyone. There were no “no trespassing signs anywhere on the property that I noticed”. He then said, “you realize this is private property and if I call the police they will explain that to you”! I then replied, “isn’t this a church”?”Isn’t a church supposed to be a sanctuary for all”? He replied, “ this is a church but you can’t be here”! I replied, “this doesn’t sound like a very friendly Church”! I proceeded to drive away… It’s really no wonder why church attendance is declining over the years…this guy representing this church came off as rude and combative. I would look for love when looking for a church. The church is the Body of Christ, and that being said IMO the people that occupy this building may or may not be part of that Body. This church may only allow certain peoples to attend and visit, who knows.

The best worship experience I've ever had led by Bishop Maynard and doctor Mary T Maynard and staff. If you're looking to be filled by the spirit of the Lord and meet loving people and hear excellent scriptural information and experience healings and learn and grow in the love of God, this is the place for you!

The people were very friendly and welcoming. Bishop Maynard is the pastor, and he preached a very powerful message straight from the Bible. I enjoyed the service at this church.
