clear your sidewalks, they are unsafe. your parking lot is ploughed. this is unacceptable. just like 2025.

The sidewalk at the intersection of Weber and Ottawa remains uncleared, while the church’s parking lot and back entrance have been thoroughly plowed. As the responsible party for this section of the sidewalk, you must clear it immediately to ensure pedestrian safety. The current four-foot compacted snowbank, positioned right at the roadside, is extremely hazardous—even for able-bodied individuals. It has now been over two weeks since the snow fell, and with winter conditions persisting, these snowbanks will not simply melt away. This is a serious safety issue. Please address it without further delay to prevent accidents and ensure accessibility for all.

I love the new pastor! The preaching is very informative. I learned a lot here. This is predominantly African American church but they don't treat other races any different. It I very easy to feel comfortable here. I do hope to see more diversity under this new management. This praise and worship is very lively. Please be advised that there is a random woman who randomly screams. So don't be too alarmed, as I was. You get used to it. Hopefully that will not always be the case. Nevertheless, no church is perfect. I am not sure if they still label themselves as Pentecostal. They have the charismatic feel but I believe that the doctrine is shifting closer to a non denominational or Baptist. Overall, it's worth visiting.

This Church is a great Christian Church. The Pastor and his Wife are Beautiful people. The people of the Church are are very nice as well. They love GOD and they love people. If you truly want to get close to GOD/JESUS then attend this Church. They really know how to have a relationship with our Mighty and Beautiful GOD.

Church of fun, not of God. This new church seems to have abandoned its previous values and biblical doctrines and now teaches open heresy and sin which it would have previously condemned. Did not feel the spirit, despite the kind people there. Very sad at this destruction of a once good Pentecostal church and the great souls there that now seems more interested in keeping up with the times. Not honest with their transformation and name change either. But kind people and best intentioned nonetheless.

Just not for me. Never attended a church where the pastors were called "First Lady". Felt bizarre. Two stars for the welcoming people, but lots of pressure and focus on the pastor and his wife felt odd to me. Maybe I'm unaware of their affiliation, but gave me cultish vibes.

Super friendly place to go. Love the way the pastor preaches the word. He speaks truth and he is down to earth. He does not pretend that he is perfect. The praise and worship is fantastic and they do a lot in the community.

I did not expect my first service to this Church, which I was told was evangelical and a part of thr Holiness Movement to be a sermon against Pentecosalism. To top it off, a baby was baptised with oil similar to Catholics. I found this very odd as most protestants do not baptize babies, and most baptisms are performed by full wafer immersion - most certainly by any charismatic movement. Although the Pastor seems to be well educated and biblically educated, the church itself was very bizarre is that it does not seem to base it's practises on any particular denomination or doctrine - and is not affiliated with any other church denomination or authority, but rather the interpretations of the Pastor and the community. I give this rating as a Christian Church, not as their conduct or behaviour. The ushers and congregation were more than welcoming and friendly, and I will pray for them all. Likewise, the Pastor is clearly an educated man who's intentions I'm sure are for the Lord. However, I did also feel that as a Christian Church (of whichever branch or thought(s) they are), it missed it's potential of being a gathering of believers doing the work of the Lord through the Holy Spirit, and unfortunately felt far too focused and caught up on polishing it's earthly image and processing it's own doctrine as opposed to God's unaltered. This was my impression. However, it was nonetheless interesting to see such a large congregation and a talented musical band. Despite my disagreements, my prayers are with the Pastor and the community.
