The worship is ok but is more like a performance than going before the throne. The teaching was basic without much depth. It's a big church to get lost in.

During set up, the vendors were invited to attend service and communion in-person in the Main Sanctuary or virtually (via speakers/TV monitors in the Fellowship Hall) before the event started. The service was insightful and lasted about 1.5 hours. I'll definitely be tuning in online (options: website, Facebook or YouTube) and will consider attending in-person service at some point. __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish

Pastor Keith Battle delivered a powerful bible-based message. I found him relatable with a solid teaching style. I left with a page full of notes.

To me, it was church-lite…read more As far as worship services go, this one is A-ok. I could tell they were not trying to say "Jesus" or "God" or read directly from God's Inerrant Word too much because they weren't trying to scare off anyone who is unchurched and might be converted. Quite frankly, as a born-and-raised Methodist, I was slightly put-off by this 'loosey-goosey' church service. They never read the scripture lesson. It wasn't even listed on the bulletin, although some scripture references were flashed on the jumbo-tron during the 'message' (which was given by Pastor Marshall, a really young, hip fellow who appeared on stage after a long darkness, and just started talking about stress). They never had a responsive reading ***of the Bible***. They didn't play any standard-bearer religious music that lets you know you are in a hallowed place, the Lord's holy temple v(like the _Gloria Patri_ or the _Doxology_). For all I knew, I was at a concert. Especially with the Robin Thicke/Justin Timberlake look-alike fellow onstage belting out quasi inspirational ballads. But they did take up an offering. :-) But that is what I get and must accept during my summer of visiting around services. Church lite. Ha ha. We'll see what I get next Sunday.

I love my foundation, but was always open to explore other options for me. The first time I ever went to CCF was almost a decade ago for a quinceanera and I thought that was awesome for them to be this diverse. I started to come on Sundays and have gone off and on (between college and moving away for grad school) for years. There's a 9:00 and 11:00 service, but I often attend 9:00. We're out by 10:20ish so I still have my whole Sunday (which is the polar opposite of my upbringing). I've seen the church go through renovations and remember when we had service in the gym. This church has something for everyone and brought out a side of me I didn't know I had. From home study groups to addiction ministry to coffee ministry to quiet rooms to special needs services. Their childrens/teen/young adult ministries are active and this church has a strong generational future. I am even a missionary and attended the trip to the Navajo Nation twice. CCF changed my life forever and I hope to see you at our church after you read this. When I can't make it one Sunday, we have an APP and live stream 11:00 services online. I even pay my tithes and offerings through the app- a big plus for this millennial.

I went to City Praise Family Ministries to see a play the Friday before Easter, and I was honestly…read moresurprised by the size of the space. As someone who does not go to church often, and when I did it was usually a smaller church, mega churches always catch me off guard. The building itself is very beautiful, modern, and feels relatively new. The people were very kind and welcoming, which made the experience comfortable from the moment we arrived. The play was engaging and the actors were amazing. During intermission, they sold snacks for about one to two dollars, and if you were a guest of one of the actors or actresses, you were able to get additional bites, which was a nice touch. They also had small gifts as well! Overall, it was a perfect Friday night before Easter. At the end, the bishop and pastor came on stage and transitioned into an altar call. This is the part of the experience that can feel different depending on the person. After the initial call, not everyone responds right away, and the pastor continues to wait and encourage people to come forward, sometimes repeating the call multiple times. As more people began to go down, it extended the moment further. For some visitors, including myself and others around me, it felt a bit prolonged, especially after a three hour play. We were ready to leave but also wanted to stay for the closing prayer, so the length of the altar call made it a little difficult to sit through. I understand that this is an important and meaningful part of the service, particularly around Easter, and the pastor is following their calling. Even so, the overall atmosphere was very passionate and welcoming, and I imagine the sermons there are very impactful.

The service is a bit long. Much time is spent praising the first lady than the kingdom of God.read more
