My husband and I are new to this area and were looking for a church. We liked all aspects of the church service except for the praise music. The music was way too loud for us. The reason why we kept going back is because we wanted to find a way to be a part of the service without compromising our ears. The first time we attended, a volunteer graciously offered to get us ear plugs which was very nice of her but we didn't feel we should need ear plugs to attend service. Next week, we decided to try the common area that's outside the auditorium but the sound on the all the televisions were distorted. We then got the idea to step outside the building and sit at a picnic table and that worked. However, we didn't feel that was a long-term solution, especially in inclement weather. At this point, we decided to continue our search for another church. read more

I'm thankful for places that provide entertainment and social settings in which families can enjoy a safe atmosphere. I attended Browns Bridge for the purpose of finding more than entertainment and safety. I watched as a talented group of young people enjoyed playing a couple of reasonably good, but not spiritually uplifting or even spiritually oriented songs. I watched and listened carefully, as a minister from an affiliated church spoke on screen amid comfy slogans and decorated with rainbows. But he wasn't there. No minister was there to pray or even speak live. He was at one of his other churches in another part of the city. He mentioned the Father and the Son a couple of times, as he instructed the congregation on accepting the diversity and politics of others. While I agree that God wants us to love one another, and to understand political or other differences, I also know that Jesus was sent to instruct. Jesus wanted his followers to show by both teaching and example, God's plan for our world. More particularly, how that world is influenced by our individual lives. We are clearly instructed in God's word, on many issues. God's word does not mention diversity of humanity, or many of the issues that Christians face today. After thousand's of years of human and political change, God's word has presented the standards first established in the 10 Commandments, and fulled by the Grace as a result of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection. On screen the minister missed an opportunity in his message to instruct the congregation on Christian values while acknowledging that we are to love one another. Rather than instruct on God's word and how it applys to todays social situations, the congregation was told to accept things as they are. The message was entirely oriented around fund raising. The funds raised were to be distributed to socially active liberal organizations. One of those organizations is currently being investigated for having raised tens of millions that were apparently proven to be fraudulently used to enrich the organization's founders and to support such actions as rioting in the streets. Rather than just post a review that denounces this church, I wrote a thesis on what this church appears to value. If you want a place to socialize, and get a feeling of just belonging to a group of well intended and decent people, you'll love it here. If you are seeking a Christian church with traditional values, you may want to consider visiting other places. But monetarily supporting rainbows and "mostly peaceful" riots burning down cities is not my thing. If you want a place to worship God, and to share or be instructed in His word, you may want to visit other churches. read more

Browns Bridge Church - Churches Near Me - Cumming, Georgia

See all

Regardless of who you are, as long as you believe there is a God, you are welcomed here. Isn't that what every Christian should believe? What every church should strive for? This church is all inclusive. All loving. All about WWJD. If others choose to denounce its pastor or its practices; it is indicative of their individual limitations in accepting and loving all and not a reflection of this church's purpose or the intent of God. read more

Just another fast food McChurch that waters down the Bible to bring in big numbers. Andy Stanley talked but didn't teach the Bible at all. Sort of rambled really. Works oriented and only wants your money. Parking is a nightmare. Avoid read more

The church is a church for those who are unchurched, who have lost their faith, and those devoted to the philosophy of Leading people to a growing relationship with God. The Children's Ministries are so good that children don't want to leave. I think those two say it all! read more

Love,love,love Brown's Bridge! All bible driven and doesn't e an ask for an offering. Andy is a teacher like no other.

Proud to be a part of this church. Love to be able to serve God in InsideOut as a small group leader. Love how the teen program keeps them coming back to church. Nothing more powerful then watching the next generation worshipping Jesus. read more

I love the staff, the music, Andy Stanley and all of the messages/series. I have been a part of the community for years. I usually watch the podcasts but I have gone to Browns Bridge recently. I was ecstatic to see/hear Dave Ramsey and his daughter as guest speakers. Every time I step foot into church, I get emotional in a POSITIVE way. I feel so awesome each time I go!!! read more

A place that serves not only preaches God word but definitely take notice of the kids' needs and what it takes to keep them interested long term. They serve the community often and know that love is a verb. A great family-oriented, low-key, casual church to call home. Recommend. Try them for yourself! I believe it's a place that everyone can feel comfortable. read more

I have been going here for over 4 years. One thing I love most is the environment with the kids. Being a volunteer in Upstreet has allowed me to see what my 4 kids experience while I was in the main service. I am very impressed with how the curriculum really connects with kids while not straying away from the BIBLE. My relationship with JESUS has grown so much. The podcast Andy does on leader ship has helped me with my business. Only complaint I have is that it rained today when we were leaving. LOL read more

For Transit, which is for the middle school grades, I don't like how they serve donuts and soda every Sunday morning to them. (Our child immensely enjoys Transit and we'll continue to go to BBCC because of that.) Also, I don't understand why it's necessary to play the music so loud that your chest vibrates, especially at FFA Camps in Covington, GA. Is BBCC trying to create diabetic, deaf kids? Oy vey. read more

I just want to say that I grew up in the student programs my whole life and the second I entered the high school Inside Out program it was one of the worst experiences of my life. The amount of judgement that was expressed through the leaders was so beyond horrendous. My group began with about 40ish girls and probably by senior year had 8. There was a group of friends in the group that were so exclusive and the leaders only interacted with them. It was so difficult to handle events with this group due to their exclusivity. I dropped out my junior year and this has impacted my view on church so much. It increased my anxiety so much that I will probably never join another small group again because of this experience. Also want to add, the teachings at Browns Bridge are so surface level and very repetitive. After attending my new church, I just realized how much more they dove into the Bible unlike Browns Bridge. read more
