Victory Tabernacle Church Of God

Great church to go to if you want to be taught from the Bible. The members make you feel like you belong. They don't turn anyone away. All are welcome.

This was, without question, the most disappointing church experience I have ever had. I visited for the first time today, and within five minutes of the service starting, I was singled out by a security guard who insisted on searching my bag. No one else around me was searched—just me. When I asked if there was a specific reason, or if I looked suspicious, the guard proceeded anyway, only to find nothing but my Bibles and notebooks. Moments later, a staff member approached me to inform me that security would be “keeping an eye on me” for the remainder of the service because of my bag. Only at that point was I told that bags like mine supposedly weren’t allowed—though, strangely, no one mentioned this upon my arrival. Needless to say, the rest of my time there was spent feeling unwelcome and under scrutiny. I stayed only out of respect for the friend who invited me. As for the service itself, I found the worship more theatrical than reverent. The emphasis seemed to be on crowd engagement and spectacle rather than on glorifying God. The first group of singers were notably off beat and out of tune, and the second portion—with the men in matching suits, including the pastor—felt more like a staged performance than an act of genuine worship. The sermon also left much to be desired. Before preaching, the pastor had the congregation extend their hands to “anoint” him to speak, which already struck me as odd. But what was most concerning was his use of Scripture to redirect attention toward himself. While recounting how a couple in the Bible blessed Elisha, he pivoted to ask the congregation, “How many of you know it’s good to love your pastor?” The focus was unmistakably on his own position rather than on Christ. Between the intrusive security, the lack of hospitality, the performance-driven worship, and the self-centered preaching, I left halfway through the service. I also left with the sense that my presence was not welcome, judging by the stares and general air of disapproval. For a church that bears the name “Church of God,” I had hoped to encounter something resembling the love and humility of Christ. Instead, what I encountered was the opposite.

The people here are very rude to the people who actually live in this neighborhood, also the people who go to this Church do not know how to drive. They’ve blown past the stop sign many times completely disregarding the car that is approaching the turn.

We attended a wedding in their chapel. It was a very good experience. The sound and lights were good and the room is visually appealing.

The best church -I love Pastor Sam. He has been blessed by the Lord Jesus to spread his word... Since I started coming here, my life has changed. It's wonderful church.
