I love trying out new places.. but churches for some reason.. not so much and this is my reason…read more I'm going to say my honest opinion towards this church. So last Sunday, April 24, 2016, I usually go to church with my sister, Angela S and her husband, Ray S. But that Sunday I couldn't... and so.... I wanted to try out the church right around the corner where I live. I entered the church and the scenery really reminded me of the double doors to Titanic (the movie). I heard talking coming from another set of double doors and talking coming from downstairs (stairs going down on the right side). I saw a bowl of candy and immediately I heard in my spirit say to me "don't take candy from strangers" which was weird because aren't church people the one and the same as you as a believer? So that really made me question about this place. It was like stepping into a time machine when I pulled open the doors. There weren't many people at this church. So I came a bit early and Benjamin (leading Bible Study) was talking about the history of the Bible, I think. There was a projection screen and pictures on it. I wasn't really paying attention. I noticed that there weren't any instruments anywhere. I kept thinking "where do they play their instruments for the worship service?" SUNDAYS 9 AM - Bible Study 10 AM - Worship 6 PM - Worship TUESDAY (04/26) 10:30 AM - Ladies Bible Study WEDNESDAY (04/27) 7:30 PM - Bible Study It would have been helpful if there was a pamphlet about the history of this church but there were none. Worship started at 10 AM and I saw that people were coming in. Not a whole lot like you see in the mega churches. Everyone seemed to know everyone which was a good thing, I guess. So friendly and nice. I was sitting on the pews that read on the side of it "visitors". I sat at the waaaaaaaay back. I met with several people who seemed to be regulars at this church. Very nice people.. but my spirit felt uneasy and uncomfortable. Not suppose to feel that way, especially in the house of God. Something about this place really made me want to run out of that place and I didn't know why? I met Pastor Kerry (hopefully that's how you spell it) and his wife, Melody. I felt like these people weren't normal. I felt like they were faking everything. But I shouldn't make assumptions because these people are also Children of God. I asked the Holy Spirit if this was normal and I felt in my spirit that something about this place gave me the creeps! After service, I met with Laura. She's a regular at this church. She told me a small testimony about her life and how she came to the US when she was fourteen years old. I spoke to her about my experiences with demons and she told me her experiences as well. I was glad to know that there were some people who aren't embarrassed or afraid to talk about these things. We started to talk about visions and dreams. She believes that all dreams come from demons and she made it sound like we don't get visions and dreams from the Lord. But I kept trying to tell her that the Father loves to share wonderful things with his children. But she continued to cut me off.. saying it's not and stuff. So I just thought I'd pray for her. I met with Melody. I was originally suppose to talk to her right after service but I wanted to speak with Laura. I guess her spiritual level isn't high enough to reach Father. Everyone is at a different spiritual level with the Father, I believe. Melody asked me if I wanted to meet with her to Bible study just the two of us. I was like sure.. but then, later, she texted me and asked me if it was alright if she brought along her husband and other people.. not comfortable with that so I declined. I know you (as a believer) should meet with other Christians.. but something about these people just make me go ------- "AHHHHHH!!!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE???" ***Note: During worship, there are no instruments and they have this really old hymn book with a lot of sleepy songs in it. I really felt like I was living in the past! Benjamin seemed to be the lead person who begins to sing the hymns and leads Bible Study... just weirded me out, I guess, because I'm used to people praising and worshiping God by raising our hands up in the air and singing up beat worship songs! Also, I asked if there was any way I could just come to the church and serve.. and they gave me the weirdest impression ever! What's wrong with serving at a church with so few people in it? They should've said "OF COURSE" but nope.. none of that.. just like a "no" kind of look. Not friendly at all type of attitude. So yea.. not coming to this church. Also, they talk about things that I already know.. how come they're not talking about how we are living in the end times? They do talk about repentance which is always a plus... but other than that. No, no, no! Not the church for me.

I moved…read moreaway in 2023 and remained a member of the church since watching Sunday services on live streams recordings when I could because of working at night. I recently became a widow, my husband of 25 years recently passed away last month (August 2026) unexpectedly from a heart attack and needed some help. 12 stone church turned me down for any help and their reasons that was given is I'm not in their system. I cannot begin to express how heart broken and betrayed I feel by this church I fell in love, on top of grieving the loss of my husband. I thought church and worshipping Jesus was to honor and celebrate him in both time of happiness and times of despair and need, not to be turned away.

They have people to assist if you don't know where to go into the sanctuary for service. The sanctuary is huge like a stadium. You could sit up close near the platform, in the middle, on the sides or a the top away. I like to come early so I can select my seating. They do have ushers who will direct you to a seat according to the size of your family or by yourself. They are also friendly and helpful too. The praise and worship is great. Songs originated by their ministry team can be song or songs by popular Christian artists song, but the songs will be rooted in the Word(Bible). I love that pastors or ministers preach the word from the Bible. They have it on the screens for you to follow or you use the You Version Bible app to follow along, which is the best! Communion is given out on first Sunday, but if led to give on another Sunday they will do so. This church is not a religious church, but about a relationship with Jesus. It is non-denominational. It has a very diverse population of members and the core beliefs are posted on the walls of the sanctuary. If you are looking for a place to worship and grow, check out Victory Norcross!

Would this be my church if I lived in Atlanta? No. Are they awful? No. But are they what I'm looking for? No. As a Quaker, I don't feel qualified or interested in critiquing the quality of worship here. It changes and depends on what kind of work I'm willing to do as an active participant. But the experience before and after the service...well, that's fair game. Every time I've visited, the greeters have either crowded the door with stiff and ultimately cold-feeling greetings or they have ignored me. (Volunteer team, though.) Similarly, no one has approached me after the service to strike up a conversation unless they also wanted to talk to my girlfriend. Despite wearing a visitor's badge, I have often stood with my little mug of tea, staring into the sea of conversations happening around me. It would be awfully nice if someone, you know, talked to the guest. I only wonder what it feels like for someone who is also introverted to visit this space by themselves. The worship space is beautiful, and the layout of the meetinghouse makes a lot of sense. There's a children's wing back to the side, and the main meeting room overlooks these really beautiful plantings. Sometimes, MARTA does make the building rumble. That's not great. But the building is pretty great. I just wish...well, I wish they were friendly and didn't make me work so hard to visit. I'll keep coming back, but it's not because I love AFM. It's because I love being a Quaker and find deep richness in Quaker worship. Otherwise, I'd be at the UU church. Accessibility notes: doors open out. During Sunday service hours, doors are attended. Sanctuary doors open out. No Braille signage. No amplification of voices during or after worship. Hard floors throughout most of the building with carpet in the library and sanctuary.

Fine place for a memorial service, except for when MARTA rumbles the building.read more
