VERY rude and unprofessional in every way. Does not work well with anyone. Will change their mind for no reason and blame you

Felt like family the first time back after almost 2 years. The Pastor is amazing and I was able to set up a meeting really quick versus not getting a response back. Highly recommend for those needing a church home.

Since the first day I walked through the door of this church, I knew I was home. This church has a vibrant spirit you seldom find. Pastor Mike preaches the Word with power. Bro. John Bell is a terrific and caring Minister of Music. The choir is very good. The people are friendly and caring. Best church in Van Zandt County!

A great place to honor God with your presence. The choir is fantastic and the preaching is biblical. Sunday school is a great place to get in the word of God. You and your family will find a loving and nurturing congregation. Come join us!

Attended a teachers luncheon, the church members that hosted the event were extremely friendly. A lot of thought went into the table decorations, and the food was tasty. Thank you for starting out our new year in style and friendship.

From the moment we walked in, I felt a genuine warmth from people there. The Holy Spirit inhabits the praise of this family of God. I feel uplifted during Bible study & the worship service, which carries me through my work week. Bro. Mike is truly God's shepherd. Moving our membership to FBC Canton was God's direction & the best decision we ever made.

What an amazing, praying, caring part of the body of Christ! Truth is where words and deeds match...you can find truth here. We are all sinners saved by grace, not saying anyone is perfect but I am saying the p ER OP please who attend here try to put Christ first.

Outstanding church with a Pastor who has the correct vision to make the property bigger to have more room to spread the good word. Don’t listen to all the negativity Nancy’s of Canton, this church is the place to visit.
