Masjid is good to accommodate quite a few people but very poor parking facility. I wish they used…read moremoney wisely to build some sensible parking deck for in and out traffic flow. When you expect to have so many people attend Jumma prayer you should think it intelligently. People who have been assigned to control the traffic on parking deck does not use their common sense to control the traffic flow. People who took time OFF to attend Juma prayer does not have luxury to stuck in the traffic for long time just because there is no system put in place to make easy in and out from parking deck. Hopefully someone from the management will read this post and do something about it, I hope.

The men's section was quite full but women's side was about half full so it was comfortable.

I will definitely be back, inshallah.

Sri Seshu Puranam is the founder priest of the temple. Had a great experience visiting this place. The place is always filled with activities and home like temple. Ample free parking in front of the temple. The idol of Hanumanji is so serene and divine. The temple is beautiful in a nice neighborhood. The temple door was open and as I entered I saw Hanumanji's idol and I felt so blessed. There is a flower shop next to the temple, so you can buy pooja related items from there (cash only). There is also a Indian vegetarian restaurant named Amma Kitchen in the same plaza. Tuesdays and Saturdays are very important for this temple and are busy days where 100's of devotees visit. Tuesday Bhajan and Mahaprasadam distribution are highlighting events. Would recommend all to visit Tuesday around 6:30 PM, enjoy attending Abhishekam, Arati, Bhajan and Mahaprasadam. I would definitely go back for any of their special events and occasions or if I am in the area.

I was in town for a visit and was very grateful to find a church close by. This church is very…read morefamily focused, worship was dynamic/creative, and the sermon was Biblically sound with a balance of challenge and encouragement. I will say, it's not first-time focused. I was alone, and didn't have anyone greet me or come ask me my name. I came early and even hung around at the end to see if there were any circles of people my age or just women or people in general to talk to, and no one made eye contact or tried to find out who I was so I felt pretty bummed. But also it was just a first visit so I guess I can't make a full judgement unless I were to give it a few chances. But overall, it's worth checking out.

I had been looking for a new church in the area, and decided to visit based on the recommendation…read moreof a couple of friends. The good - a couple of super friendly parking attendants who gave directions, etc. Another good is the pastor did teach very much from scripture, John 5: 23-29. He gave a lot of Greek language understanding, which I appreciated. The needs of improvement. Once I got into the auditorium, it was well less than half full when music started. That is perhaps a peeve of mine. As a member, you know when it starts - be ready, be prepared. I'm a pretty outgoing guy, but no one spoke to me once in the building - No One. I sat down behind some folks, aside of others - No One spoke at all. My cologne isnt so bad as to cause no one to sit close or even speak. It was Palm Sunday, Jesus' Triumphal Entry of Christ to Jerusalem. The first song had absolutely NO "umph" or excitement to kick off a worship service - none, and it didn't get much better from there. I'd say less than half the worshipers were singing at all. We have an amazing savior to praise - to relish in worship. Not the case on my visit here. The pastor, though sticking with the text - John 5 - and giving the Greek words - gave almost no illustrations, stories or application. I'm happy about your recent trip to the holy land, but please tell me how it helps here in N Atl. Perhaps as a former pastor, having gone to conferences all over the country, I'm a tough critic. As i continue my search i doubt i will be back. I am looking for exciting spirit filled worship, contagious Christianity. I'm longing to find solid biblical teaching, but with application also sincerely, Scott

There is something very special about NPCC…read more You can feel the presence of the Divine there. I am new to Atlanta, so visit as many as 3 church services every Sunday searching for Divine inspiration & wonderful fellow Christians (THE ONE AND ONLY RELIGION STARTED BY A PROVEN GOD!). Keep feeling myself drawn back to 3 churches, including NPCC. NPCC is unique for having a very dynamic, sincere and magnetic pastor, brilliant sermons, excellent music, a big Auditorium that is very full with lots of beautiful happy adults of all ages in the audience, even more beautiful and happy children in fun rooms with wonderful leaders built around the massive Auditorium. And a sense of the Divine in almost every child & adult I observed & had contact with. Excellent, friendly outside crew efficiently directing you to open parking spaces when arriving & safe exits following the service. (This is more unusual than a great leader). During the last 8 months, I have lived in 4 States from Wyoming (my home) to Atlanta where I luckily own some nice houses. And I will be returning here often. I have not missed at least one church service (sometimes several) every Sunday since - God spoke to me twice - in a very normal male voice that just sounded like a 40 year old friend (I think He recognized His personal intervention was the ONLY way I would have any hope of living with Him in Heaven (wherever that is...)! Until then, I may have attended a church service 3-10 times a year for Easter, Christmas... (I had His invisible presence on an invisible horse riding next to me as I grew up on huge ranches. So why did I need to attend a church?). Now I know. And when I did attend, I was driven to select special churches with good people and great Pastors/Priests! North Point is one of THE VERY BEST I have ever experienced! Attending events there, joining with good people and being inspired by Godly leadership is memorable & life changing!
