UPPERROOM Dallas

Maritza Theunissen★★★★★6 months ago

We have traveled all the way from South Africa to visit Upperroom in Dallas and the EOY conference... The worship was amazing and I would say the translator that was in the service translating the words preached was so huggable I just wanted to give him a hug 🫂 I even felt the tears streaming down my face while he was talking and translating. We'll done for him. I was greatful to see that there was police in the street infront of the church supporting the church. I hope they will consistently support the church. The Coffee Shop people were friendly though making great coffee and gave a smile here and there. We hoped there will be more people welcoming us and chatting to us but there were so many people there. Junior were very welcoming and greeted us and welcoming us at the EOY conference. Thank you Junior for your kindness as we traveled very far to visit Upperroom and we felt greatful that someone noticed us. Thank you for your bright smile and kindness towards us. I hope this space of Upperroom stays 'sacred'. I would suggest that they create more prayer rooms for EOY. The small prayer room felt as if the Holy Spirit was there and the worship was powerful. We already miss the prayer sessions 😢 Thank you also Camille Riggs for your kindness towards us and the book. Your friendliness and warmness towards us was greatly appreciated. Your book so far is amazing. Thank you for the beautiful art you created. Also the other people creating art at Upperroom - it was greatly appreciated and I even bought two copies. We hope to visit again in the future. We already miss Upperroom and hope to visit soon again. Much love xxxxxxx

Beautiful campus, very welcoming community. My spouse and I were looking locally for our new home church and this place came up because of the sense of community and younger crowd. The experience was overall great, but this is a Pentecostal church which was not made clear online. If a more energetic church experience is what you’re looking for, this place is worth giving a try.

Thank you for a beautiful time meeting in His presence here. We visited from Canada and came to Texas primarily with this in mind. We attended 3 times and just felt the lovely nearness of God. I know they are moving and we hope one day we'll make it to the new location. As a worship leader, (and my husband a pastor) coming here was a breathe of fresh air and it set a renewed fire under us. We love spontaneous worship. It was amazing to sit and bask in His presence and receive and not be the ones up front!

After living in DFW for nearly 50 years there are only 2 churches I trust. Upperroom is one of those churches. They know how to worship. They know how to make room for Holy Spirit during worship. They are a church that prays. If you want to encounter God go to Upperroom. The teaching I could take or leave but the worship is in spirit and in truth.

🙌🏻🔥🙌🏻UR is a hidden gem, nestled in the heart of Dallas' industrial district, renowned for its powerful prayer services. 🙏 Arriving early is key to securing a seat, but the wait is a blessing in disguise, offering ample time to connect with a diverse community from around the world. The church is currently expanding, which will soon eliminate the wait times. The atmosphere is saturated with God's presence, ensuring every attendee leaves touched by the Holy Spirit, the worship, and the preached Word. ❤️ One standout feature of UR is its profound appreciation for the arts, using it as a form of worship that resonates deeply with its diverse congregation. Whether you're a local or just passing through, UR is more than a place of worship; it's a spiritual home worth finding. Services are held all week long. This location is kid-friendly. 🏠

I have attended two services and I have enjoyed the worship and the sound teaching. I want to say something concerning the moment of worship. During worship, it seemed like many people, including staff (who were wearing name tags), did not respect the presence of God because they were talking, using their phones, and it was overall so distracting. I know that there is freedom in the presence of the Lord yet there should be a reference to God’s presence. I really hope leadership addresses this. Second, when I came for service at 5 pm, people were saving chairs for friends who ended up showing an hour late. Please have ushers giving seat so that there won't be disorder and a stumbling block. Overall I enjoyed it and was transformed by the message

Amazing atmosphere with the presence of Holy Spirit. Great place to learn the word of God. I have been to the original upper room on the 2nd floor of an animal clinic and was able to celebrate the first day of the 2nd location and now God has shown his Glory with the newest and 3rd location.

This was my first time visiting. The space itself was nice, and I appreciated that there were people of all ages there. The coffee shop area was a great touch as well. That said, as a first-time visitor, I didn’t feel very welcomed. When the small cups of wine were being passed out, I tried to get the attention of a couple of volunteers but was overlooked. Later, when we were encouraged to acknowledge the people around us, it felt like most attendees already knew each other, and I was left feeling invisible. Overall, it seems like a good place, but I think there could be more intention around welcoming newcomers so they feel included from the start.

Beautiful worship and sound teaching. The leaders are far more focused on their global impact than loving their own church. Been here a long time. Staff and pastors quickly avoid eye contact, don't smile back. Anyone can tell when another person is avoiding interaction. This is common here. Hospitality is the church's weak point. Some staff members are pretty rude. Introduced myself many times. On the fourth time, "How do I know you again?" Pastors and teachers zealously encourage the church to "Serve, commit, and sew your life in good soil." Yet, they set an example of avoiding their own people. Worshippers and staff beeline to their saved seat on the front row. Lots of initiative here: TURN network to minister to other pastors. Making worship moments to reach the nations. Following the call of the Lord to reach the world through the online ministry. Traveling to preach and worship in other churches. Yet their own members and visitors? Oh. Too busy and too important for them.

The atmosphere was beautiful, and I truly enjoyed the worship during the prayer room set. The presence of God was evident, and the worship itself was powerful. My only concern is that this was my first time visiting. As an ordained minister, I have been to many churches. I’ve seen a lot and experienced a lot over the years. One thing I’ve learned is how important it is for people, especially newcomers, to feel welcomed when they walk through the doors of a church. Personally, I felt as though people were very to themselves and somewhat cliquish. I smiled at several people who would not even look at me. Even members of the worship team passed by without introducing themselves or acknowledging me. I understand everyone’s experience can be different, and I have nothing against Upperroom at all. I genuinely enjoyed the worship and the atmosphere during the prayer set. However, I believe it is important for every church team and congregation to be intentional about welcoming new people, especially those who may come in carrying pain, loneliness, or even walking in straight from the streets looking for hope. It can become easy to only speak to those we already know and remain around those we are comfortable with, but first impressions matter deeply. Again, I appreciate the worship and what God is doing there. I simply wanted to share honestly that I did not feel welcomed or like I belonged during my visit, and I believe that is something worth being mindful of moving forward.
