It makes me sad that any Christian would use the internet to harm another church, especially the enemies favorite platform; Yelp. WRC is not a perfect church, but if you find one please let me know. The bible says you can always tell a good church by the fruit. They are changing lives and they have fruit. I don't attend because I live in Washington State but my family and I make a trip out there several times a year to sit in the atmosphere of the Holy Spirit and it is thick as a cloud at WRC, but you have to want it, and you have to not have a critical spirit. Its easy to find something wrong with any leader. I encourage anyone in KC or visiting that wants to feed and get filled up to spend the day at International house of prayer, and then spend Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night and or Sunday at WRC. You will come home filled. If you come have a good attitude and be a giver and God will bless you. read more

They said from the pulpit many , many times that if you didn't give financially when you could not to expect help when you needed it. We believed them and thought they had our back as much as we had theirs. When we needed help not only did we not receive it people in church leadership told others in the church we were trying to scam money from the church. I still have it in text from someone who is still a member saying that Bobbie King said we never should have moved our handicapped children to Missouri because we had better resources where we lived prior. This was not true. At our prior home we had to drive more than an hour each way for health care because we lived in a remote area of the country. We moved there because it was our last hope. read more

Absolutely love this church! The power of the Holy Spirit is so present in this place. The amazing pastors there care so much. We've been going to this church for 4+ years and continue to grow in our relationships with God, our finances, our marriage, every area, on such a deep, marvelous level! read more

A friend and I visited this church on a recommendation, and pretty early on, we both independently felt a check in our spirits that something was not right. Many of the things the pastor said, like "You can be the way, the truth, and the life!", "The most desperate person in this room is the one that is going to be filled, but I don't see anyone who is desperate!", and "In order to be used by God, you have to care more than anyone else in this room!" were not biblical and very much promoted comparison and competition. Probably what topped it was his repeating that the reason Jesus saved the world wasn't because He was God, but instead because He was a zealous man and if we are zealous enough and care more than anyone else, we can change the world like Jesus. Needless to say, we couldn't get out of there fast enough. read more

I honestly can't say enough good about this place, the people and the pastors. I no longer live in Kansas City, but if I did this would've remained my church home forever! I first started going to World Revival when I attended their school of ministry years ago and then decided to stay after I graduated. After over 15 years of membership I can say this: if you are in trouble and you know in your heart that the root is your relationship with God, you can get real help here. If you want more of God in your life and want to connect with other likeminded people you will absolutely find it. If you're looking for real spiritual "meat" you will get it. I am thankful for every service I got to attend - God did so many amazing things in my life and I am still seeing the fruit today! read more

It's unfortunate that people have so many opinions when it comes to church. I used to. I grew up in the Nazarene church and my father has been a pastor since before I was born. Growing up a Pastor's Kid you get to see the good, the bad, and the ugly of a church. Since then I've come to the conclusion that three things really matter when looking at a church: First, and foremost, is this a group of people in pursuit of God and who He says He is instead of what is convenient for their own world view, etc.? Second, is this is a church that wants to create a house of worship (music, tithe, the Word, etc.) that God would actually come and attend? Third, is this a church that strives to do this as a community rather than individuals? If all three are met then everything else like missions work, community service, etc. will be met as an overflow and outpouring of what God is doing in the people of that congregation. This is that kind of church! Not a place full of perfect human beings who don't make mistakes but of people willing to give up truly everything to make God king in every part of their lives. Come give it at least 3-4 services before you make up your mind. It's something powerfully different and therefore needs some time to take it all in. I'm glad my family came and I hope you'll join us too! read more

This church has and had potential. It's full of MLM/ AmWAY people who wait a few weeks, act like your friend and then try to recruit you. If you don't join AmWAY you get bumped for any sort of leadership or volunteer roles outside of parking guard. Seriously. If you don't want to be part of a pyramid scheme, there's a lot of really good churches in KC. It's full of them. :) read more

I watched this church on Daystar and thought it was a one-of-a-kind community of believers. Once i moved to Kansas City and joined the church, the truth came out. I wanted to serve in a volunteer position, but was told that the senior pastor had to approve all volunteers. That was ok. Several years later I was suddenly pulled from my volunteer position and put into another department I had no passion for. I was told the senior pastor decides who serves where, creates the volunteer schedules, and you have no say in it.  I tried to make the best of it, but the new position took a physical toll on me because it kept me walking around all night. I appealed to leadership to put me elsewhere but i was told that the problems were MY fault for not being dedicated enough to the 'cause'' and to the pastor. Is christianity supposed to be about pastors wielding absolute control over peoples lives? Stay away from WRC, there are plenty of other good churches out there! Also, this is the second time I've posted my truthful review on this church but they deleted it. They seem to love repressing free expression read more

We really love this church. My wife and I and our 3 grown children all love it here. Great place for teens and children too. I'm thankful that my first grandchild gets to be touched by the ministry here. Pastor Steve has a world-class ministry with such insightful preaching, and a great team of pastors. The church has had two seasons of significant revival and it shows. read more

This church has helped to save my life! My marriage has been saved, my children are better behaved, my finances are getting better, my attitude has changed, etc. I am a new person. I've been in church my whole life and never experienced the presence of God like I have at this place. The pastors and congragation are redefining what church is. They are not only preaching the real word of God in context from the Bible, but they are putting it in to action. You have to go check this out. They have services Thur, Fri, and Sat at 7:00 and Sunday at 10. Not to mention they are seen all around the world on Daystar TV every Friday night. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 read more

This church has absolutely changed my life, and the pastors have laid their lives down for every single person that walks into this place. The insights and unwavering devotion to God are undeniable, and the people I've met will be life long friends. I am so thankful for this church, and my children absolutely love it. read more

If you choose to go to this church and give them your hart, your time, and your money , If you choose to obey the leadership and follow their instructions ,If their ways cause pain ,hardship ,financial hardship ,or other does NOT mean they will be responsible for helping repair the damage that they helped to create ,even if they help others in the church or even other ministries . it has been years since my family left and we are still recovering .when we moved their my son had only one mental health issue ,now he has 4 .As for the good reviews on this site ,had my family not been abandoned the way we were I never would had believed they would be capable of such . My hart still loves them anyway and is still in deep pain but my head says they are not safe .This is my view based on my families experience .You are welcome to your own read more

This place is a cult and stay far away from it! The leaders prey on guilable people and so they do it to con people into giving to there cause while they go live in a big house and drive high end cars while there congregation suffers! Run far away read more

This place is a cult, nothing more and nothing less. I have seen this place rip apart families and leave people financially destitute. If you watch the documentary on Jim Jones and the People's Temple there are many very scary similarities. It is a dangerous place that feeds off of and uses people who are in low places in life and need help. They are tricked into joining and then used and exploited until they have nothing left to give. Additionally, they promote child abuse. Check this out from a former member: "If your 2 year old can not stand in the same spot with their hands in the air for 3 to 4 hours of worshiping God then beat them until they learn to submit. This was actually in the "Revival Handbook" until it was turned over to Childrens Protective Services. I saw this first hand in the ladies bathroom where the little demons were brought to be beaten before going back to "worship". I personally reported 2 parents to child services." Anyone who supports this place knowing what they do and promote is a sick and twisted individual. And probably also very poor and tired because Steve will take all their money and force them to volunteer 40 hours a week. read more

Best Church in the world! Actually, has the tangible Presence and Power of God EVERY service. Miracles, sincere people, great leaders, awesome worship! You can't find better anywhere!! Saved my life!! read more

I went there for a little over a year towards the end of my senior year in college. I had a friend group from outside of the church that I attended there with. I enjoyed it at first, the intentionality of the people, their way of getting "into" my life, but things shifted both in me and the people around me when I wasn't "selling out", moving to live with other members, and attending the school of ministry. I was told by a Care Pastor that I should leave my roommates and it was taught that leaving your family and friends is a sacrifice that should be made to pursue God. Yikes! When I did leave (which took months of mental prep and planning) a close friend at the church stole me in the middle of a meal and isolated me in a car to talk about me leaving. It felt threatening and inappropriate. It confused me that someone close wouldn't support something that was not good for me or empathize in some way. I am still decompressing the mental and spiritual anguish the World Revival Church created for me 8 years later. I hope you don't step foot into their doors. 8 years is too long for anyone to work through the trauma that WRC can create. read more

Love God. Love people. This is a place that not only doesn't hinder that command but promote it. What an amazing experience to look around you and see people that love God worshipping WITH you. All walks of life, all different callings TOGETHER as the body functioning as one. People that aren't perfect but are absolutely in love with the Savior and are willing to live out sacrifice as true and proper worship. What a treasure. read more

I attended this church for over a decade and left shortly after the Daystar revival. We were taught countless times from the pulpit, in small groups and in private meetings with the pastors that when someone leaves the church to attend another ministry, we should break off all contact with them because there was no longer anything in common between us. If you like shunning and tearing down people who love God but don't attend the same church as you, this might be the church you were looking for. read more

Seemed ok walking in. Was greeted at the door and everyone seemed friendly. The music was ok. When the pastor came up he seemed to spend a large portion of his time bashing people who had left this church and other churches in general. There were maybe 300 people at the service. I later saw the pastor leave in a Lexus that I know to be worth around $60K. How does a pastor of a church that small drive a car that expensive? Also, a lot of the media equipment was super high quality as well for how small the congregation was. Something shady seems up. read more

Great church! Good bible preaching, moves of the Holy Spirit, wonderful worship, HAPPY PEOPLE, and pastors who really care. Most of all, GOD CENTERED. If I miss, I feel like I've missed out- something new happens each time. I can honestly say that my life has been made better by World Revival Church, the people and the pastors. read more

I attended this church for 15 years, from child hood to early adulthood. This place did nothing when my grandmother went to them about my mother beating me on multiple occasions and was told forgiveness was always the answer by the leadership there. My grandmother "volunteered" (worked 8 hour days 5 days a week for free) and they never even offered to pay for things for her like groceries, even when they knew she was struggling. We were taught to never question what Steve or Kathy Gray said and if you did something they didn't like you would be reprimanded, publicly or privately. If you didn't worship a certain way, fall down when you got prayer (because they were pushing you to) you were told you weren't spiritual enough. Missing services meant you weren't committed to "the cause." When I say "the cause" I mean reaching the Jewish community and going to Jerusalem with the pastors, which they have been talking about for more than the years I went there and yet they are not at all involved in the Jewish community here in our city. Well, that's atleast what we were told "the cause" was, even though I'm sure it was just filling their pockets and bank accounts with money, since this was the topic of most services. This place is ran by a narcissistic manipulator who only wants your money and will use whatever scare tatics he can on people to keep up appearances even after they no longer attend this cult. I cannot even tell you how many people told me i would never amount to anything or have anything after leaving this place. I have several friends who have experienced threats from this man after leaving this place and voicing their concerns to other loved ones at this place. This place needs to be called what it is and that is a cult. If you want to be emotionally and/or sprituall healthy this is NOT the place for you read more
