Let me start by saying that I grew up in a Pentecostal ministry where they taught speaking in…read moretongues as an additional gift you receive from God that is separate from your salvation. The gift of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues was well explained and was not glossed over or thrown in your face. I attended the last 2 nights of the Jesus Tent revival hosted by this church. The first night was great, a lot of water baptisms, great worship music, testimonies and teaching and an opportunity to move forward to receive whatever was needed in your life - repentance, deliverance, healing... We went again last night and it started off the same. After a short testimony and message by a young man, they brought an older gentleman to the platform. He told us his name but never identified what position he held at the church. He went right into telling everyone to move forward then stated we all need the Holy Spirit and needed to speak in tongues. I have been saved for 45 years and filled with the Spirit and when I looked around the tent, I saw many people who came in off the street, maybe first time "church" attendees and some who probably never heard of speaking in tongues. This man gave no direction at all, never explained what it meant to receive the gift of the Spirit. Just told everyone to lift up their hands and start praising God and He will fill you with the Spirit and you will speak in tongues. Many of the church members gathered by the guests and started to encourage them to say certain praises and really reach out to God. So many people looked confused and had no idea what they were doing. The church I came out of ended up doing this same thing to our congregation. So many people were destroyed because they never received the gift of tongues and felt ashamed or embarrassed by this. I also spoke to many others who "faked it" because they wanted to fit in and never received the gift either. There is nowhere in the bible that states you must have the gift of tongues to be saved or enter heaven, yet churches like this place so much emphasis on this that it outweighs all the other gifts that God has promised believers. If you're going to "force" this on attendees, at least have the courtesy to explain what the purpose of tongues are and let them know that it is an additional gift that God offers and is not required to be a Christian. I had 2 church members praying with me and when there was a pause in this segment, I explained to them that I was saved, filled with the Holy Spirit and this felt out of order. My daughter and I left their shaking our heads and hope that people did not leave their more confused than when they came in. You wonder why church attendance is down in this country, actions like this drive people away.

Our 9-year-old enjoys the children's classes, and our 17-year-old looks forward to the youth services. The people are welcoming, the preaching is Bible-based, and we've truly felt at home here. We're thankful to have found this local church and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a church family in the Massillon area.

They have given in every way to the local community. The services have modern worship and excellent teaching and preaching. They have worked hard to have a world class children's program and the services have state of the art audio and visuals. I have not seen a focus on money at Cathedral of Life at all in the time I have attended. The only time I have seen any coaxing to give was when it was to give to another church or family that was in need.

Not sure how to rate a church but this has been where i have gone all my life so i may seem biased…read more This place has very friendly and welcoming people and a nice sized coffee shop that you can visit before the service where you can get some dough nuts and coffee free wi-fi and friendly fellowship. Next to the coffee shop is a gym which is available to rent along with the coffee shop and hosts friendly basketball games open to men over 30 on Thurs nights and for those younger on Tue. As far as the sanctuary goes the interior is amazing with a high sealing with beautiful woodwork and a huge stage perfect for bands and weddings. They also have plenty of seating though it can fill up quick. Definitely give it a try.

NOW CALLED: Crosspoint Alliance Church! Pretty sure they switched the name about 10 years ago…read more I have been attending Crosspoint since 2014, and I have loved every minute of it! You will never find more genuine, Christ-centered people. I've sat under the teaching of two pastors in my years here, and I have grown so much as a follower of Christ and a fellow member of the body of Christ! I have helped out with 5 Day Club (aka Vacation Bible School) in the summers and see God work in mighty ways through it. I have also see them WONDERFUL work the church is doing through their ESL (English as a Second Language) program! The work in teaching refugees and loving on them has been incredible to watch! If you are in need of a church body to become a part of, or if you're just in town for a Sunday, we would love to have you :)

He called to see if we could have quick peek inside .. we were 30 minutes away. The lady that answered the phone was very kind and informative. My husband is more into history and details. I'm more visual ..love playing with my camera. I believe the lady who let us in was named Mary. She pointed things out to us .. especially my husband .. as I gazed around. She explained the shine to the saint and that it contained a bit of her bone. She even showed it to us. We are protestant but if I lived in the area I would attend a service just to hear the organ. The cathedral is very old .. I think 1870 when they began construction. Its impressive..huge.. high ceilings and stained glass windows. Pipe organs. The shrine inside the cath5 is for St. Dymphna is the patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders.  Although many have never heard of St. Dymphna, she is becoming increasingly popular during these days of worry, fear and anxiety. Then, too, there are few people in the world who are not at some time or another troubled with their nerves. Apparently epilepsy was considered a condition of the nerves or mental and was included. Behind the cathedral is a small cemetery some of the stones were from the late 1800 and early 1900s.
