From the moment I started attending, I could genuinely feel the presence of the Holy Spirit during worship and through Pastor David's messages. His teaching is biblically grounded, encouraging, and always helps point us toward a deeper relationship with God. If you're looking for a church where you can grow spiritually, build real fellowships, and experience Christ-centered worship, I definitely recommend checking out KCA AGAPE at Korean Church of Atlanta.

Hi readers. I'm small business and cleaned carpet for Pastor Kim at this church. I worked extremely hard for him and gave him a very large discount and about 3 hours of free hard labor as well. I returned again to clean again for free because a few spots came back also. He was happy and wanted me fo do the rest of the building later. I can't work for free I have two young kids to care for so I declined future work. So he denied authorized charges on his credit card and charged me back $400.00 for all of the discounted previous work. I consider this directly stealing from my family and of my time and labor. Just wanted to share my story for whatever it's worth and hopefully to prevent honest contractors from getting taken advantage of.

PREACH!! So the…read morehubby and I have been shopping for a new church, something intimate with a mix of traditional and contemporary music. We do not want that nightclub masquerading as a church type of atmosphere and you know exactly what I mean. We attended this type of church in the past. It was relatively small and just starting to grow. They had painted all of the walls and the ceiling black and added large round tables and chairs. The music was very loud and very contemporary performed from a stage that looked as if it was set up for comedy night. The final straw was when they started taking old secular music and applying Christian lyrics so while they are singing about Jesus all I can hear are the original lyrics to the Soft Cell classic: "Touch me please, I cannot stand the way you tease". These are not the lyrics I want to focus on while in church. All they needed to do was add a shot of Hennessy and you would not have been able to distinguish the church from the club. Deuces! Let's be honest, SOME church experiences are so watered down now that it's just ridiculous. People just want to feel comfortable literally and figuratively. Consider this: Church is not supposed to make you comfortable, it is supposed to make you think and feel! And if thinking too hard makes you a little uncomfortable or brings on feelings of guilt, well check yourself, because a little righteous guilt never hurt anyone. Some people need to be "woke"! If you are always dressed to the nines in the latest gear while your children's basic needs are not being met, you need to feel uncomfortable, if you are running around with your best friend's husband, thinking it is perfectly fine, you need to feel uncomfortable to the point that you change your behavior. I think people avoid "real" church to avoid addressing their behavior and because they don't want to change their lifestyle. If you are not there to be challenged and changed, what's the point? Just remember, some things change whether we like it or not and I can guarantee you, it will be much easier for you to initiate that change than to have God decide that you need to be corrected by His mighty hand. You have been officially warned. So now allow me to step away from the pulpit and get on with this review. This church is very simple with a mature population, (Grown Folks Church). Since we were more focused on the message, this was not an issue for us. Here's the deal: You can expect to be greeted in an authentic and sincere manner, (None of those, I just completed greeter training vibes), you will not have to be shuttled in from the local Walmart parking lot because it's not that big, the lights are on because they actually use bibles, (Yes girl like back in the day!). They also have hymnals because they not only provide a bit of contemporary inspiration but they also give you a little bit of "old school" sauce which suits my husband perfectly. Those drums on the stage are not to "rock out" and make your ears bleed, they are actually a very subtle and appropriate accompaniment to the other instruments. Finally, there is no fancy café or family fitness center (been there too), just church. After prayer, music and the announcements were completed, the children were dismissed to "children's church" like when I was a kid. Awww! We then began with the message. Now if you are looking for a flashy preacher who yells, screams and performs from the pulpit, this is not the one. Pastor Gibbs will talk TO you not AT you, he has a great cadence when speaking, (not too slow and not too fast), and he will challenge you to think about what is being said and how it applies to your everyday life. I like that! He uses his bible for points of reference and you can easily follow along and take notes. I use a traditional King James translation so I appreciate having the same and other translations that are close and applicable. I have been in situations where the translation used was unfamiliar to me and so far removed from the original text that it was just pointless. I like being able to take notes and I really abhor the fill in the blank pages, (like 3rd grade), used by certain churches because they don't allow for free thinking and sometimes you are so distracted by what goes into that little blank that you lose focus. Again, they want to make it easy and comfortable. Back to the church: My husband and I both enjoyed the service and will definitely be returning. I still remember the message and know that it will carry me through the rest of the week as it should. Great experience!

My choice was the fried cod with french fries and Cole slaw (see pic). It was good and very filling. The fish was a little greasy for my tastes. Free iced tea or other drinks for purchase. Fresh baked desserts were very good, and had a piece of chocolate cake. Noticed lots of folks were getting the baked salmon, will try that next time. Second the process. You stand in "dine in" or "to go" line. They take your order, then you pay for the order. Next grab a table if dinning in, or just wait for your order if to go. The kitchen makes the order and guy in front yells out your name when it is ready. Place was mobbed and really fast efficient service for the number of people there. Lots of free parking. No comment on the church or other activities, but hopefully future reviewers will comment on that.

I attended a wedding ceremony at Atlanta Chinese Christian Church North, so this review is written…read morefrom my perspective and experience as a wedding guest. At the time of writing this review, there are three Atlanta Chinese Christian Churches (known as "ACCC" or "A triple C") in metro Atlanta: this one in Alpharetta, the original in Tucker (also known as the "mother church" as I've heard it referred to several times), and a relatively new location in Marietta known as ACCC Northwest. I visited the original ACCC in Tucker in 2001, when I was an undergrad at Georgia Tech and new to Atlanta, for Sunday school and church service. It would be 17 years until I returned to an ACCC campus (this one). This church is located on the east side of Alpharetta, near Johns Creek, and not too far from Duluth. It's in the suburbs north of town and a solid 40-minute drive, at least, from downtown Atlanta. This is a nice-looking church that looks fairly modern with ample parking and comfortable, theater-style seating in the sanctuary. I only visited the lobby, sanctuary, and men's restroom. The front of the church is nice because there's a covering above the driveway, directly in front of the main entrance, which allows people to stay dry, if it's raining, when they're dropped off and picked up. The lobby and hallways outside the sanctuary are relatively spacious. The sanctuary itself is functional. I like how the rows of seats gradually slant downwards towards the elevated stage. This means there's less of a chance of people's heads in front of you blocking your view. The seats were comfortable and the viewing angles and sight lines were excellent. The sanctuary has a contemporary look with vaulted, slanted ceilings, good lighting, and plenty of ventilation. I guesstimate there were about 100 or so guests at the ceremony. The venue was quiet and intimate. I thought the sanctuary was a practical place to hold the ceremony. The bride, groom, their parents, the wedding party, and others walked down the beautiful, floral-decorated center aisle to the stage. The bride, groom, and officiant were up on stage, easy for everyone to see, while the wedding party stood on the steps (also easy for everyone to see). The sound quality over the sanctuary's ceiling-suspended speakers was great. The audio was loud, crisp, and clear. The multiple microphones worked well. Those who spoke or sang over the microphones were easy to hear and the music sound quality, both live and recorded, was very good. One thing I appreciated about the sanctuary was how well it handled large group photos. After the ceremony was over, the bride and groom arranged for professional photographers to take various group pictures of them with their wedding guests. Some of the groups were quite large, but the wide stage and multiple steps made it easy to take big group shots. The photographers had their fancy studio-style flashes set up and ready to go. The photo session was quite efficient thanks to slides, projected on two projection screens above either side of the stage, that instructed which group was to come to the stage for photos and which group was next up. In addition, someone was on a microphone to help direct the crowd. I thought that (the whole photos thing) was a terrific idea. Finally, the men's restroom was clean and in good condition.

It's not very big, but the temple itself is quite beautiful in the inside. He can speak English. I'm not sure if we have a English translation of the chanting book. The regulars who come here to learn about becoming a Buddhist are also nice (most of them, anyways). Before entering the temple, make sure to put your palms together and bow halfway. If you don't know what to do or how you're suppose to do things, just ask someone. They will help you out. The service takes about 3 hours, and afterwards, they will feed you lunch (it's all vegetarian food.. No meat). There are also end of the month picnics (get together to enjoy the Fall weather; looking at the beautiful colors of the leaves of the trees that changed from green to red/orange/yellow). I enjoyed going to those picnics, because we go hiking together, sing and play games (and win some prizes). So if you're looking for a place to learn about becoming a Buddhist, then give this place a try. Who knows, you'll probably make some friends and enjoy yourself! They welcome all kinds of people from young to old and different ethnicities, too. I hope you come and visit.
