My family and I came to this church yesterday for their Easter Service. I really appreciated them…read morehaving a service on Saturday because you could come to church and not worry about the large group of people that normally goes to the Sunday Easter service. My sisters are members here, and they love it. The atmosphere is very casual which is something I enjoy. Most of the attendants were wearing jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers. We were greeted by the ushers at the outer and inner doors. The ushers made sure to tell me they had a Children's church and that my kids were welcomed there. It was the first time we had been to this church, so I declined and had them sit with me. We found seats in the middle, and the rest of my family joined us 5 minutes after. The service began with the Young Adults Choir and they sang two songs. The words were posted on two huge TV screens that flank the alter. Afterwards, the Mimes took the stage. Now, when I was younger and went to church (infrequently...) we didn't have such things. I LOVED it. It was dramatic, filled with emotion, and sincere. I actually cried towards the end of it. The pastor, Kerwin B. Lee, began to tell us of several of the services they offer at Berean. There was legal counsel, and a host of prayer services. Each service focused on a subject, like childcare workers, childhood obesity, day cares, etc. The Young Adult Choir took the stage again and sung a couple of songs. By this time, everyone was feeling the goodness that comes with a good service. The pastor returned and began his sermon. He began almost every point by mentioning a member's name (Now Nancy, what Jesus meant was...). I thought that was neat. He even made a couple of rap references. That just tickled me. He kept the sermon short, which was awesome. After the sermon, you are invited to give your offering and/or tithes, and he invites those who haven't already to join his church. After this, he dismisses the congregation. All in all, it lasted about an hour and a half. I enjoyed my visit at Berean, and am considering at least going to church on the regular. The fact that they offer so many services(SAT/ACT prep, Food Pantry, Before/After school care) speaks to their reach in the community. If you're looking for a church home, consider Berean.

The Church has many functions, some of which include loving one another, encouraging one another, working together, worshiping together, and so on. Eastridge is one church among so so many around the world that is actively doing its part to be the Church that Christ intended. Eastridge isn't perfect, as I suspect you would quickly realize no church ever is, the goal isn't really perfection though is it? It's to join other believers in the pursuit of an amazing God who is full of love and grace. Should you need a local body to seek the Father with, Eastridge is a great option.

Once I found Relevant Church I instantly fell in love. This was the first church I've gone to that I felt comfortable to sit right up front, actually go around and meet people, to truly start getting involved, and actual gain knowledge I could understand and apply to my life. Carl is an amazing Pastor. The children's environment was what I truly was concerned about. I wanted a place for my girls to learn and find a way in which they could learn about our faith in there environment. Being an adult now learning of my faith I feared not having the knowledge to teach them myself and that is where Relevant stepped in. They love it! The members of the church are all so great. I've also joined a small group and it is an amazing group of people helping me walk in my faith and helps me to dig deeper. I also love the ladies night out, or "The Gathering" to have one night out for just ladies to worship together with no care for those few hours. This is definitely my church home!

I feel like I should share our experience, since ALL seven of the reviews for Relevant are not…read morerecommended. This was our church home for four years. Husband and I came from two very different church backgrounds and had a hard time finding something that suited both of us. What struck us about Relevant was the authenticity of the members. It didn't seem clique-y (though, it can be a little now, which is unfortunate), and we found the messages to be truly applicable in our daily lives. Carl is a gifted speaker who can deliver heart-jolting messages in 30 minutes' time. He claims he was once terrified of public speaking, but you'd never know it. The children's environment is nothing short of amazing. My son attended service on the RKids hall from the time he was two months old, and he's three now. The ladies in all of his classrooms loved on him, and he loved them back. He was excited for church every Sunday, and he wasn't even big enough to go on the massive playground! The new building is beautiful, and the teams put in HOURS of effort to create a place where everyone feels welcome. It broke our hearts to have to move away, and we hope to find something similar near our new home.

While listening to the sermon, males will bang on the metal poles and shout out to where your hearing and attention will break. This happened to me with my relatives as we listened to the senior pastor or others speak. You won't be taught how to be like Christ. False prophecy was given to me here which involved me working with two other regular loyals. The love nor the power of God are here! I remember a pregnant worship leader getting upset because the small group there was not singing with feeling to her liking. The same confessed to some regulars still use pornography, maybe that was the same day. I dismissed red flags such as Alexis saying, "how can Jesus only be your Lord and Savior," and "we feed people unlike that church (saint philips ame on the corner) that doesn't do anything for anyone." (Verbage based on my memory.) My attendance was about 6 months and I went here for my ailing relative, whose illness was ignored by the pastors to deliver! Who else can give salvation and the blessings associated with it? To those seeking deliverance and the power of God, seek Christ Who is the unchanging Word of God (john 1:1) plus there are both books of living and deceased individuals who raised the dead like Smith Wigglesworth and John G. Lake and Curry Blake; you can learn from them as well Christ and His disciples. I advise and forewarn that you must be diligent and CONSISTENT. May God's vengeance and judgement be released on the false prophets and ministers that deceive spiritually-challenged folks. Read Hosea 4 and Ezekiel 33-36. I KNOW THAT THE 5-STAR REVIEWS ARE A RESPONSE TO THE TRUTHFUL NEGATIVE REVIEWS FROM ONLY ONE GROUP THAT IS OFTEN EXPLOITED IN THE "CHURCH." WHY NOT THOSE OF THE CLASS THAT MATTERS IN THE USA LEAVE REVIEWS, INCLUDING THE PASTORS? STOP MULING FOR THEM. YOU CANNOT HIDE THE TRUTH AND EVERYONE IS NOT ASLEEP! THIS IS A PHARISEE ASSEMBLY! CHRIST SPOKE MUCH ABOUT THE RELIGIOUS GROUPS THAT DID NOT KNOW OR RECEIVE GOD BUT DID CARNAL SHOWMANSHIP AND RESISTED GOD AND MADE THEMSELVES IMPORTANT. Christ never required an attendance requirement before he helped heal or restore someone: HOWEVER, "pastor" haynes believes one's attendance, lifestyle and offerings matter MOST before he'll intercede. That is dangerous but Glory to God, the punishment of such wolves and on their children is beyond painful. You didn't hurt us more than you hurt yourself.

Greetings to the reader, this will be an updated review since I have shared a review discussing…read moredisappointment in the past from this same ministry. I don't recommend attending this church in Atlanta and suggest other churches who in the area that respect personal boundaries, keep their word and actually want to help those in need like jesus said to. This recent review will discuss how Pastor alexis hayes never respected me or my mother who attended his church despite being members who donated in the past. In my old review I discussed how invasive the members were to me from touching me and not respecting personal space (I have experienced more than once being touched where I felt uncomfortable and one of the female members stroked my chin randomly) to pastor hayes' father knocking my scarf from my head from one of my last visits at the church and never apologized. Hayes daughter also was upset that I left this review on the church's Facebook page and was temporarily blocked until I made a review on Google warning others what happened. The reason for this new review is that this year my mother, who began experiencing health issues and was requesting prayer and help with her car was never given a call back. I uploaded a screenshot of my email trying to contact PHD Ministries via email since Hayes claimed in a phone call my mother never called him for her health but mostly prayers for me and my siblings. When my mother became hospitalized on August 1-2 I and my sister began asking for prayers to help our family on our cellphones we share with our mother. I only called/texted since I didn't know who else to call and I remember his daughter claims they prayed over her daughter after she was in a accident. He never contacted until I expressed frustration he didn't keep promises on helping members or people who sought out deliverance. He lied on the phone that I didn't have money to get help installing my security cameras and that my mother never called for. Hayes never mentioned I needed money but to show him my cameras and he'd call me back. He also stated in messages that my mother didn't show up for church often as if that matters when she contacted him for help and prayer when she didn't know who to turn to. You don't reject help because some members don't attend regularly. I immensely hate that my mother and I once supported this church when the red flags were there from the beginning how he lied on helping me when I wanted assistance installing cameras to my mother's home. He claimed I never owned a DVR but if he remembered I shown him my cameras with the DVR in the box. Please don't attend this church unless you're okay with what I have shared.
