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.

Non Orthodox Visitors: All are welcome to enter the church but only members can take communion. Dress code is strictly observed- long modest dress, covered hair and shoulders. Expect long intervals standing barefoot. Nothing is in English. Experience: I typically don't go to Ethiopian Orthodox Churches primarily because- lack of introductory material and indifference to visitors! On this occasion I came at the behest of my grandmother- for "Aster-eyo Mariam", a venerated holiday in the EO Church. Driving up to the gate, I was flagged by an attendant who directed me to drop off my grandmother at the church entrance and ushered me to a prime parking spot. This never happens! I took my shoes off & was given a plastic bag by another church attendant. Another connection! What followed; liturgy, teaching and congregation culture was like every other EO church in the U.S...EXCLUSIVE. Space: The interior is breathtaking. The walls plastered by iconography maintain the integrity of the traditions of the Ethiopian Orthodox church. Most of the churches I have been to in the U.S. haven't fostered artwork like Mariam. Strangely, Instead of pews there are individual cushioned seats- the green seats clashed with the floors red rug. Space could fit around 300 easily. I wont be returning of my own volition. Had there been resources for visitors then perhaps. For now I will stick to forays at Greek churches.
