Cops always tell you to stay in your car.
Except if you’re black, then somehow staying put is suspicious. Go figure.

Nothing but a money grabbing pit. Stay away from this hole. Spending millions on a facelift to a building which nothing was wrong with. Run... Hide your wallet... Think about the people that millions could have helped

I love this church!!! It is a large church. Yiu have to take your time, and find the place you plug in, once you do, you will feel Gods calling and purpose that He has for you. Pastor jet is an amazing pastor, the music is wonderful and spirit lifting. The childrens activities are beyond what you can imagine. They work hard raising our future generations up. The prime timers keep our elderly with events all the time. The youth group has few activities, but do meet only on sunday night. Its a wonderful church.

Imagine this - You're in your 30's and decided to move back to MS after being away for a decade. Wanting to attend a church that is around 25 minutes away instead of 45 minutes or more (moved to a different location in MS, so i would end up driving a further distance than the churches that I attended when I was a kid). Walked in wearing a red dress (had to purchase new clothes since I gained weight) and am put towards the center, where the podium is located. During the time, you decide to use your cell phone to look up the Bible verses that the pastor mentions so you can read multiple verses and you will remember it better. (And since I enjoy making sure that a pastor kept with the concept and doesn't try to take the Bible out of context. I've seen pastors do that.)
He notices someone who looks to be in their 20's, at one point asks that everyone look at him, and then during the altar call mentions that some people might need to be delivered from social media. The last time I was "called" out was by another pastor who said that I should get married and it would give me courage. I honestly think this pastor should pray more - in his daily life and while on stage - the Holy Spirit would have revealed I was following along with the Bible. Will I be attending another main service? Nope. I'll be attending a church that has a regular prayer meeting.

P. S. At the other churches where a pastor has done this, and nothing changes, the churches shrink because of the lack of prayer and relying on God.

Pastor Scott and Sydney were absolutely amazing! We had a small ceremony and it was perfect, they made the day extremely special for us and we are so thankful to them and the church. Thank you so much!

Great worship service. Very modern, contemporary music. Great praise experience. The worship leader's (D. O.) posture was always one of humility in that his presence on stage was commonly in the background. We were impressed with his lack of desire to be front-and-center.

Unfortunately, connection with staff is almost nonexistent with newcomers. There seems to be an intentional wall between churhgoers and church employees. Multiple attempts to establish a relationship with ministerial staff went unrequited.

Further, even the most humbly submitted request for a change in some process was rejected with discourteous pride.

In summary, it's a great show but they're missing the point of ministry.

Great church with a wonderful staff!

This is a nice church. It's a big church with a ton of options for every schedule. They have multiple seating options. There is a little cafe on site. It's a big church that doesn't have the big church feel. My family ended finding a better fit at Pinelake but I would highly recommend giving this church a try.
