What can be said about a church in my neighborhood, that I have never been to…read more THAT IT'S FREAKING AWESOME SAUCE! I wanted a change of pace of church for this day, and Victory was my choice. Actually, my cousin attends and I knew it was a nice welcoming place. As soon as you walk in, it just felt loving. People were smiling, greeting one another. And being that it is BHM, everyone was dressed in African attire. So pretty! We(my daughter and I) arrived early, so the praise team began their mic check as we grabbed really good seats on the main floor of the church. The church filled up FAST. And it was a packed house!! Wow! Everyone was so kind! People danced in the isles and sang along together and it was really beautiful. I was excited to see a full band with HORNS!!!!! The brass was in the place making beautiful music! Wow, they have a tight band! I am a lover of music. I can hold a note:) And I was very happy to hear such wonderful sounds in this church house! The preaching was funny, relatable and thought-provoking. The preacher was thoughtful and spoke well. He didn't scream and yell. His life applicable examples were helpful and understandable. You could really FEEL THE LOVE IN THE PLACE. As a total stranger, I didn't feel out of place, weird or even left out. It was truly a God filled service with good singing and dancing and music and preaching and WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! I was very happy this was the church I decided to visit on Sunday. If you live in the South Suburban area (Matteson, IL), I encourage you to give this place of worship a visit. What a great way to start my week!

BEWARE OF THE NEW PRINCIPAL FRANCIS AND THE INEXPERIENCED KINDERGARTEN TEACHER MS. DYRA. THEY WILL…read moreWORK TOGETHER AGAINST YOUR CHILD!!! PARENTS OF CHILDREN OF COLOR PLEASE ADVOCATE FOR YOUR CHILD AT IJP!!!!! WWJD? Definitely not what this institution did. Of course I had to deal with the 2 new faces of IJP. The principal hired last March and the new Kindergarten teacher with only 2 years experience. Parents deserve to know what happened to our son at Infant Jesus of Prague. After only a day and a half in kindergarten, we had no choice but to withdraw him because of the way he was treated. On the second day of school, just two hours after class began, he was sent to the principal's office and described as unable to communicate or make eye contact. This was a five-year-old child who had only met the staff the day before. To place him in the principal's office so quickly and apply such labels was not only premature but prejudicial, unprofessional, and emotionally harmful. Please keep in mind that the mother has a background in child development and Psychology. There was nothing wrong with our son. He did what healthy children do. He spun on a bright rug, hugged me at drop-off, asked for help with his zipper, and had a small disagreement with a peer. These are completely normal behaviors for his age, yet they were mischaracterized as problems. My son knows how to zip a zipper. He may have been seeking Ms. Dyra's attention, just to see is she would help him. The teacher reported that he hit another child, while he told us the opposite. Instead of helping two children resolve a conflict, blame was placed squarely on him. When he sought comfort, he was reprimanded, even though other children were being comforted at the same time. This kind of inconsistent and unfair treatment creates stigma in the mind of a child who is just beginning his school journey. Even more concerning, the principal asked us whether our son's doctor had ever reported behavioral issues. This was an intrusive and inappropriate question and a clear attempt to pathologize age-appropriate behavior. Our son's physician has never raised concerns. To suggest otherwise showed a lack of understanding of both child development and professional boundaries. The lack of care extended beyond behavior. The teacher even sent us an email calling our son by the wrong name. A kindergartner's sense of identity and belonging is fragile. To misname a child reflects carelessness, not the nurturing and attention that five-year-olds deserve. When our son was placed in the office, his father left work to pick him up against the principal's advice. That moment revealed the truth: our child's emotional well-being was not their priority. Later, when I came to formally withdraw him, the conversation centered not on his welfare but on a check. We care about the refund, but this was never about money. This was about a child being mislabeled, stigmatized, and made to feel unsafe in his very first school experience. And I must ask, what would Jesus do? Jesus would not have mislabeled a kindergartner, called him by the wrong name, or isolated him in an office after only two hours of his second day. A Catholic school should embody patience, compassion, and understanding. Instead, what we experienced was judgment, rigidity, and a lack of care. Parents, hear me clearly: there was nothing wrong with my child. The problem was the way he was treated. Infant Jesus of Prague showed weak leadership, poor developmental understanding, and emotionally unsafe practices. No five-year-old should ever be made to feel like something is wrong with them on their very first two days of school!! Beyond PREJUDICE, the attitudes were devilish and extremely cold! I understand why my child had anxiety and didn't talk to them. Lacking severe skills needed for transitioning kindergartners. Or any child that has not met them prior. Giving a child one day to transition is gatekeeping and stigmatizing to impressionable children.

2019 (original review): Love this church! It offers so much. The Wednesday Bible Study is great,…read moreSaturday and Sunday services, and so is the Tuesday night corporate prayer. They are also very involved in the community during the water crisis and other issues in the community and internationally. Most of all,the Word is phenomenal, I love that there are many opportunities to work in the ministries, and they offer Deaf/HH interpreting in American Sign Language! 2023 Edit: I highly recommend New Faith Baptist Church International. The services are available in English and American Sign Language, in-person and online. The music and the sermons are phenomenal. you really feel and learn the Word there. Rev. Dr. Trunell D. Felder is my favorite pastor. Since I moved out of Illinois, I've been actively searching for a church home. I've attended 3-4 other churches out of state and none of them are as good as New Faith. I will be watching New Faith Baptist Church International from 800 miles away with much gratitude! Please continue with the online streaming and accessibility. Thank you! I truly miss New Faith! 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended!

I was told by a friend that he attends here. So, I tried to attend with a friend on a week night…read more According to their website, there were scheduled bible studies for all ages. When we got there we sat in the parking lot wondering where was everybody. Then we called. We were told the classes were in a small building at the edge of the campus. So we moved our vehicles, went inside to be told the classes were limited to people who were enrolled and that the open classes were seasonal and not in session. When we told her that was not what the website said, the lady looked at my friend and I as if to ask, "...and your point is????" We left and have never returned. If that's where you find Christ...we're in trouble.

As a family who has been blessed to stream Believers Church online since 2020, my heart deeply…read moreaches for the family who experienced such a painful situation at the picnic in 2012. Church hurt is a heavy burden to carry, especially when you have poured your heart into volunteering, and your pain deserves to be met with empathy.My foundation in faith goes back to 1992, when my college roommate first introduced me to Christ. She and her family grew up carrying deep wounds from past churches, which led her to step away from attending any church in person for many years. Today, she attends Believers Church. We trust her judgment of ministries completely, and her presence there speaks volumes.This ministry has also been a place of incredible spiritual growth for my own family--so much so that my husband, who has been faithfully building his relationship with God through these messages, just joyfully started paying his tithes to the church last month. When I attended in person, I was welcomed with open, loving arms. In fact, Pastor Greg showed such beautiful humility when he willingly let me pray for him right after one of the services. We love this ministry because it is a welcoming, family-centered space where the Word is preached directly from the Bible.Pastor Greg regularly reminds us all of a core biblical truth: that ever since the Garden of Eden, every single human being falls short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). Because we live in a fallen world, misunderstandings, security mishaps, and human failures happen--even among leadership. Based on all of this, I truly believe the church is not a building or a single person; it is the living fruit of God inside all of us.If you are carrying institutional or church hurt, please know exactly how Jesus feels about your pain: He feels your grief deeply: John 11:35 ('Jesus wept') reminds us that He does not look past our pain; He sits in it with us. When religious structures hurt His people, His heart breaks first.He protects the broken: Matthew 11:28-30 is His open invitation: 'Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.' When human leadership fails to give you safety, Jesus offers a refuge that requires no heavy burdens.He heals the wounded: Psalm 147:3 promises that He 'heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.'My sincere prayer is that this situation doesn't become a permanent barrier to your faith. Galatians 6:1 calls us to restore one another gently. I pray that you and Pastor Greg can connect privately, in the spirit of true biblical reconciliation, to clear up the untruths.To any family processing a situation like this: be encouraged and keep your eyes on Jesus. This church is built on the Word of God and is not going to give into Jerry Springer drama. Human situations will fail us, but the grace of God never does. May the Lord bring healing to your family, and may His grace cover everyone involved.

Believers church is absolutely amazing I have been attending believers church maybe for the last…read morefour years off and on. What I enjoy most about the church is that he preaches directly from the Bible and does not give opinions on politics in and other things it's strictly Bible talk. They're very welcoming to first timers and they usually have a snack after service. My favorite part is that they do you have a Bible study for kids which my daughter calls kids church they have them for infants toddlers ,five-year-olds and I think all the way up to maybe 16. So your kids have somewhere to go while you enjoy the service
