Have been trying every new church we can in North trying to find a new home and so far our first experience was great. Ran behind a little late but still stopped by the cafe for a pick me up and staff was insanely kind and loving, Leigh was so welcoming and the baristas were absolutely accommodating and friendly to say the least. They gave us a goodie bag with a book, coupon for free coffee, and a pen. Super sweet. The building itself is stunning, i love the atmosphere, and architecture. Service was great, even coming in a bit late and missing praise and worship, the sermon was actually something I could take home with me. I would love to hear more from the younger Pastors personally i took a whole lot home from the service and would love to hear more especially from Pastor Kila. Kids: I have been searching for new home for my toddler and we've tried a couple other churches in the area with childcare but my son genuinely enjoyed this place a lot more than the others. I loved that they actually had a plan for the kids, and my son is sensitive to singing and cries and Thank the lord they didn't sing for his age group! He actually spoke to the teachers and they let us know how he did, behaved and what they did during service. Lots of chaperones and he had lots of fun. We will be back. :) read more

First time attending. Was excited to hear the message and connect with like minded individuals. Instead, was instructed that if we don't tithe 10% REGARDLESS of what is happening in our lives, we are cursed. Give it to the church, because "God doesn't make the Red Cross." Meanwhile, the pastor is bragging about how many cars his family had. Another parishioner told me the pastor drives a Bugatti. A third told me the pastor just sold a multi-million dollar home. Lovely to hear the congregation is apparently funding his lavish lifestyle. I came for the message. What I heard was "give us all your money or you're a POS." False prophets abound. read more

I'm so incredibly disheartened to make this review. My family and I have been coming to ELC for years, but after last night's "Christmas at the Cathedral" I will not be back. A service that is supposed to be about the birth of Jesus and giving our lives and fears over to him became a political statement. Condemning democrats and those who do not follow the current conservative administration. But somehow in the same breath "the government won't control this church" There were many children in attendance, an event for friends and family to celebrate Jesus became about political views. I don't want to go to a church that believes in telling me and others how they should vote and what to believe. Stick to preaching about the word of the God! read more

Went looking for a good Friday service for my family. I was beyond surprised by everything here. The people are genuine. There's no shortage of help and kindness and direction. I came in with my two under two and a lady (Coco) stayed with me and my children the whole time, helping me with them making it so much easier for me to enjoy the beautiful dance and service. Afterwards, I had the pleasure to be introduced to the pastors. It may be a big church but they definitely are personable! We've gone to the Easter egg hunt the following day, and the kids had a blast!! Having gone back to a Sunday morning service, it was amazing. My babies LOVE the kids ministry and my 2 year old is looking forward to going back! read more

Felt VERY ill at ease with my visit to this church. The pastor lauded himself profusely throughout the morning, from his business accomplishments and wealth to his family: his wife is an associate pastor, and his son is also a pastor. There is even a GOLDEN image of him shown on the huge screens at the front as the crowd welcomes him to the stage. Of even greater concern was his son's introduction in the bulletin handed out that gives a short paragraph about each of the pastors. The schpeel he wrote to introduce himself was this: "It is my greatest pleasure in life to help make my parent's dreams come true". REALLY??? Not to make the name of Jesus Christ known? Not to bring glory to God, first and foremost? Huge concerns with the levels of dysfunction that are evident in the leadership of this church! read more

Beautiful church and people. Was welcomed with open arms. They do encourage us to tithe and serve in the church and community. Pastor didn't start this church until he was 40 and had already personally grown his own wealth. His daughter leads the worship team; his wife, son, and other daughter are all pastors. These Pastors speak truth and are not afraid to offend someone. They stand firm in the teachings of the Bible and wanting to lead and teach us how to lead our families. If you want a strong church, this is your home! I grew up in church and have learned so much more here then I ever did previously. Visit and grow with us! read more

My poor son came to this church after divorce. He was welcomed with open arms, was going every Sunday along with his daughter that he brought to the children's ministry. He also joined the Men's Group. He received an email regarding his "tithing." He then explained the financial difficulties of not only the divorce, but being self employed and other issues. He was told to keep coming and it wasn't a big deal. I visited this church and enjoyed Pastor Keith's sermon. My granddaughter loved her group. I told my son he needed to keep coming back. Everyone was so friendly, positive, and made us feel like we belonged. Unfortunately, my son received another email about giving money. He replied that he was told not to worry about it. I guess it was a BIG DEAL since they made him feel less than a Christian for not giving. He stopped going and participating in the Men's Group. NOT A SINGLE PERSON REACHED OUT TO HIM!! He thought these people were "friends" and "fellow worshipers." The only thing they worship is the all mighty dollar. I believe there are a few Psalms and Scriptures in the Bible regarding greed. Very, very sad. read more

Best church in the Dallas TX area. The leaders live what they preach. Great place to meet others. Recommend joining a serving team and the men's or women's small group. read more

Beautiful building, lobby and concert-like sanctuary... with smoke machines during worship! All of which conventional for a typical megachurch! But then came the announcements from a female pastor, an associate pastor and a standing ovation for pastor Keith when he took the stage strolling and primping like a rock star, resplendent in a three quarter length leather coat, black jeans turtle neck and boots! Ok let's hear his message... wow, the prosperity gospel preached, ala Joel Osteen but without the suit! So Texas is covered North and South with Christian lite! He mentioned how much the building cost (38 million) honored others in the congregation who attained millionaire status, and had the congregation recite bullet points on how to generate this prosperity... and will give a "Word" on December 31st on how to create wealth in 2025! The Holy Spirit showed up - not in the building but in my gut... that it was time to leave - well before the "sermon" was over! A blessing indeed! I was just visiting from So Cal and was led here for Sunday services... Big mistake but glad the Lord showed me a real Wolf and false prophet in person! I'm sorry for how misguided and deceived the congregation rolled along with these antics... but the Bible has warned us many times of these events and those within the Church who will deceive! Run don't walk from this place. And if you're from out of town, find another church to attend- so many solid ones I'm sure! Let this review be a warning! I attended so you don't have to read more

Reading previous comments makes me wonder ... out the abundance of the heart , the mouth speaks . Some people have deep insecurities about finances as it clear that is what they choose to focus on. I don't know, I've been going to ELC for years now and never has pastor Keith called me to say , "pay up, you're due on your tithes!" I mean, I wish he would call me, that would be an honor. Jesus wants us to be in a place that teaches us the word of God with truth and dignity, and some topics might be hard to listen to, but that's life. We have to learn about finances and politics and giving and being good stewards of what God has given us. It's up to us to do what we know is right, let everyone else deal with their own righteousness, it's between them and God, not you. I love ELC, it's changed ours lives and we will be forever grateful to the Kraft family, every single of them brings something so unique and special that we all get to reap from. I invite you to join me for a Sunday service, come with me! Message me directly and you can my guest. read more

Been going to this church for almost 7 years and I absolutely love it. I am a teenager and I serve in the kids almost every Sunday. I also attend youth every Wednesday night and I love the friends I've made and how much my connection with God has improved. I highly recommend youth for teenagers 6th grade-12th grade. It the best! The worship and lessons at the church are great and U wouldn't want to go anywhere else. read more

We've been going here for almost 20 years. Deeply biblical based, practical application, it will challenge you to grow every day. The teaching is so solid, because it comes straight from the Bible. So many places talk about things that just aren't in the Bible because they feel good. You will find followable excellence here. We've raised our kids here, and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made! read more

3 years ago God brought our family to this church. Since being here the Bible has come to life for all of us. Transformation in every area has happened. I've become an emotionally intelligent person where I was led by emotion before. I knew some of the Bible but I hadn't let God transform me from the inside out through it. Don't listen to the haters who watched one YouTube video and got offended by the truth. The truth is everything goes back to biblical truth in this place. The truth is if you know you have a calling to lead, this is your church. If you're someone looking to just enjoy a church service and not allow God to transform, I wouldn't waste your time coming. But if you want to be used by God to influence culture, this is your home so stop wasting time. read more

Too loud. Can't hear the spirit if you have to wear ear plugs. Preacher sure is proud of this business he is running. I know there are people there seeking Jesus Christ and I hope they keep looking. The salesman at this church is giving the people what they want. read more

Terrible. The pastor used the "P" word this past Sunday at the pulpit. Watch it on YouTube if it's hard to believe. He could have used the word "sissies" instead. What a disgrace- no respect for the pulpit. I gasp thinking children might have heard this derogatory remark. I visited years ago. It's all about hype- not about truly getting to know God and his Word. The church is nice and the worship music sounds good, so it's easy to be fooled. Beware. Stay away. read more

The epitome of a Prosperity Gospel church. They accepted a $900k PPP loan in 2021, the same year their pastor Keith Craft purchased a $2.5M home in Celina. read more

If you're a man check out their men's ministry on Saturday mornings. Worth The Hype, if you're prepared to pay your price

I learn something every week I watch online. I always get a few things I can use in my daily life no matter which pastor is speaking! I have a severely autistic son, and 3 more children at home so attending in person with my autistic son can be very difficult. We have went in person a few times also and it's a beautiful place! The entire family definitely puts all they have to make this place as God centered as possible! We are so blessed to be able to watch from home also! read more

Run, don't walk away from this place. It started off as a prosperity-focused church. They mask it by saying that accumulating tons of wealth is just "opening up heaven over your life". They'll literally call you on the phone if they think you're not tithing enough. Pastor brags all of the time about how he gave the first million to build the place. Any time they do anything for the community, they want it to be on the news. It feels like a business, not a church. Nothing seems genuine there; there's a selfish motive behind everything. Pastor likes to call himself your father. Things went from bad to worse when the church services turned into a Trump rally. Seriously, don't waste your time in this toxic place. I'd give it zero stars if I could. read more

money focused. More like life coaching. not gospel focused. Prosperity gospel centered church. If you are looking for a deep dive into theology dont go here. I do not recommend. read more

Me and my Family had been going for over 8 years and stopped when it got too political. We have enough going on this world and in the news to also hear it at church. We all have different political points of view and didn't like that the Pastor was convincing his followers to believe only in HIS views. We should all be able to respect and tolerate our differences - especially Not cool when he said our government was run by a bunch of pu.... huge let down ;( Sad to stop going because Pastor Keith really did inspire me and my family. read more

We have been going to Elevate Life Church for 11 years now. This is not your typical church. It is a church that is not afraid of being real on the grand stage. Our pastors have given us Men vision. Pastor has strengthen the men in this church to be Leaders, not followers. To also have excellence in who we are as men and women and how we act when we walk in church or out in the world to the best of our abilities. I believe the Pastors have passion to make the world a better place by elevating everyones thinking, so that we can elevate our lives. He teaches us us that we are Servants of The almighty God. Stewarts. Thank you Elevate Life Church read more

This church preaches prosperity gospel and they manipulate the gospel. His sermon was hyper focused on money and wealth. I highly suggest looking for a different church, one that stays true to the Gospel teachings. read more

As I read the comments below I am shocked that people will talk about the way our pastor dresses at a men's warrior conference or about the things that he says. I've been going to this church for five years. I am blown away by the people that I've met. They are like family. Our pastor is so passionate. I've learned so much from him and this church. I recommend that you don't believe anything that you read and try it for yourself and you'll see what I mean. I cannot imagine my life without this church or the people in it. I have chose to not believe what I read on social media or on reviews were five or six people might've gotten together to post a bad review because one person got upset. I have chose to try things out for myself and believe what I see rather than what I hear with gossip. I chose to go to this church and I love it!! The word, the people and the music are unbelievable. Follow your heart and give it a try. I promise you won't regret it. read more

I don't attend Elevate Life Church, but came for SHE Time in January. I absolutely loved it. From finding parking with the help of the parking attendants to check-in in the lobby and finding my seat in the sanctuary, everything was user friendly. The church is beautiful, as you can see from the street. SHE time was incredible. It was evident the entire event was well planned out as well as carefully thought through and prayed over. I registered for the next SHE Time before I left the sanctuary, AND I registered my husband for the next Men's event, the Warrior Breakfast. I wish we lived closer to Elevate Life Church so we could attend, or at least participate in the numerous ministries they offer. I'm really grateful Elevate Life offers Christ-centered events that are open to the community, my family and I will definitely be enjoying future events here. read more

Attended She Time and it was an awesome event. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The praise and worship was awesome. The message was bible- based and applicable to not life today. Any woman looking for inspiration and motivation should attend She Time. read more

I've visited churches all over this country and have been here by invitation several times. I have never seen the collection plate so highly stressed as in this "church", there also does not appear to be accountability to the members about where this money is spent - My prayer is for the congregation to receive discernment and locate a new loving church community. read more

Amazing church and the leadership of ELC, they are transparent and real. 100% of our church is biblically based and family oriented. if you don't like to hear about tithing or talk on money was too long, well maybe this church it isn't for you. Come see the food lines on the 3rd Saturday, we feed thousands out of our tithing, not to mention the missions ELC funds, the trucks that roll out when disasters happens! It's amazing some of the reviews I see on here, people want to bash the church or leaders when they don't know the truth!!! We love our church, we give to God what's is expected of all Christ folllowers! I'm in Pastor Keith's Masterminds, HE always brings God into our leadership classes! Our Men's group is a model that all church's should follow and that's because of Pastor Keith's leadership! After growing up in church through my teen years and then being agnostic for 10 years, I'm home where God placed me. Come join us! read more

Unfortunately I have to agree with Infor mation and James Bond in their comments about the teachings on the prosperity gospel and James Bond, I'm So sorry for what you went through while on staff even more so after leaving. It's sad that it's these churches that are attracting & growing like wildfires as people are being misled, having their ears Tickled. Personally I believe Kieth Kraft is a false teacher and I'll even go as far as to say he appears quite Narcissistic how sad and frightening! The music ministry there is beautiful, however as much as I love and appreciate music so much there has to be good sound biblical leaders and teaching. read more

We enjoyed their marriage class every Wednesday night. Pastors Buddy & Vicky are really anointed to do what they do.

I've been learning more over the past 3 months. Elevate Life owns several of the Craft family's personal vehicles, including a Ranger Rover that costs over $100k. The Craft's own two homes in Florida. The first cost around $650k and the second was closer to $800k. I recently watched a sermon from February where Pastor Keith stated that he currently lives off of just 50% of his income. Maybe the church is giving him too much? read more

This is not a church that teaches from the Bible or of Jesus Christ. Serpent tongues represent their "cross" stickers for cars, people touch you as you enter (lots of people), money is a hot topic, the Bible talks about false profits. If you walk in, feel good, then go home and do some homework on what you "learned". Most churches are non profit. This one lost it's non profit stays years ago which means all the money goes right into the craft family pockets. They live, dress and drive the best of the best. Because of donors who pay and pay and pay. It's as close to a cult as you can get. They're smooth talkers, convincing and manipulative. If your reason to go to church is to learn the Bible and to accept Jesus as your savior, you will NEVER hear that at "Elevate Life". Elevate what life, where? Not heaven. read more

It's sad to see how a non denomination church focuses more on vanity and the fake gospel of prosperity than the real meaning of faith. The pastor & his wife seem to care more about money than true salvation. Whatever happened to helping the poor and others in need? The only thing being helped is the bank accounts of the Crafty (crafty indeed) family. Nice building though. Mark 10:25. read more

The Crafts believe that the blessings of God are for everyone and every believer. They believe that God wants you to be a success in what God has gifted you and talented you to do. From the Word of God, the Crafts will teach you how to experience God's best in every area of life. This is a wonderful church pastored by a family that is the real deal. read more

Love this church! It's not just a church, it's a way of life. For the negative review that I saw. Are you really a Christian to have judge others that you do NOT know. Let alone post it online. I can understand if you didn't like the church because of the lessons and values that they preached. Ask yourself is that what Christ taught you. I can tell you that this church praise and elevate our thinking to be positive. And preach to not judge others by their appearance! read more

Amazing place of worship! They offer many activiies for you and your family to get connected. There is something for everyone at every level of your life. Elevate Life is a non-denominational church founded in January of 2000 in Frisco, Texas with a focus on leadership. Elevate Life is more than just a place to go on the weekend to receive transformational teaching, but it is a place where people are loved, by God and others, and where people can develop beneficial lifelong relationships with people that seek to be great for God. Love is demonstrated by the example of our many wonderful servant-leaders, and the quality relationships they develop. read more

I visited church here with mama one Sunday over in Frisco...West Narnia as I'd like to call it! Yeah, I'm over in Coppell so for me it is a bit of a hike. But first off...the church itself is absolutely gorgeous! What beautiful architecture. I will also say that Pastor Keith Craft is a dynamic leader and preacher, and his entire family is involved in the ministry which is so awesome to see. This is definitely a great place to bring your family and there are a ton of different ministries here to check out, especially for the youth and younger generation. I'd say if you live in the area come give it a try! read more

Elevate Life is a great church. This post is a review saying i enjoy the chuch, but also a quesiton. I've been told that Elevate Life is a franchise; where the idea, plan, development, marketing, material, and long term growth has been predetermined... Just like any business franchise. I understand the controvery that this question may bring to some. In any event, when you have employees, land, accounting, and overhead you are offically a business. The overall idea is religion, God & Jesus. The message is wonderful & positive.. I just feel like its fair to know if this material is unique, local, not copied, not predetermined by a business or group outside the church. Does Pastor Keith independantly determine all the material used on a weekly bases. I have a friend that has been to "Life" chuch in Tulsa, OK who claimes the exact same material has been used in Life chuch - which led me to ask all these questions. Please let me know in a clear, non-bias, non emotional point of view. Thank you! read more

Everything is great about this church. Keith Craft is so uplifting and speaks right to my heart. The music and performances feel like you are at the harvest crusade. My kids love the Sunday school and never complain about going to church. The events the have keep you involved in the community and world wide. If we ever miss a Sunday and that's rare we watch it on the Internet. Great family church. read more
