House of Prayer Christian Church - tacoma - Tacoma (WA)

2 /5 Jashua A Garza: We didnt last 20 minutes and walked out. I agree with many of the comments. I have been approached multiple times by then at Walmart and finally decided to go check them out. It was indeed very loud. Men were on one side of the church, women on the other. My boyfriend sat next to me. I was also the only woman who was not wearing a long skirt or dress. Not my cup of tea but if you are into more extravagant churches then pay them a visit. The people did seem nice but too chipper for me. I think they might get points or some kind of reward for inviting people.

2 /5 Jason Huntington: Awful. Loud, aggressive, showing complete disregard for their neighbors. They meet at all hours several days and nights a week, keeping children out routinely till 10:30 and occasionally till 2:30am. Their services consist of someone yelling in tongues, a second-rate singer repeating the same wailing, off-pitch tones endlessly--the whole nightmare capped off with their preacher man howling at them for 30 minutes. In the 5½ years that Ive lived across from them, theyve approached me numerous times in a self-righteous fervor that belies their insistence on their Christianity.

1 /5 The Tinman: Loud service, speaking in tongues (without a translator so its nonsense), teachings are unbiblical and contradictory. Most people Ive talked to from there seem brainwashed and it seems like a cult almost.

1 /5 Brett Gaulke: If you value your hearing, dont attend this "church." My wife and I lasted only 17 minutes into service; an unbearably loud and chaotic mess of voices shouting and blubbering nonsense (Im sure theyd tell you it was "speaking in tongues"). As someone who has been a Christian my whole life, who values the Word of God and obeys it to the best of my ability, and who loves the Lord and wants to see Him honored in all things, this gathering was frankly disturbing and insulting. Sensationalism is running amok in modern American Christianity and this congregation is rife with it. I could write a books length review quoting all the Bible verses that are contrary to what this church practices, but Ill leave it be and pray these people find the true God, not a false feeling. Theyre passionate about what they believe, but its misdirected terribly. If you have a God-shaped hole in your heart (everyone does) and you want it filled, read and study the Bible first, especially the New Testament, so you can discern what is right and wrong before you let someone "interpret" it for you.

1 /5 silvia reyes: Horrible, disrespectful and rude when talking to people about "the truth" two males approached me and were so rude to my personal believes and other churches and their choices. Worse representative males that tried to invite me to their church. Completely rude and unacceptable.
