Calvary Chapel At The Cross 69-29 Metropolitan Avenue, Queens, NY 11379

"I have visited this church several times. I love the work of God in Pastor Drew's life and his verse by verse teachings. I praise God for his love for the Word, his love for the Body of Christ and the wisdom that God has given him. His wife, Susan, is godly woman. She is very loving and giving. My grandaughter has been a recipient of her generosity. I love the musical talents of Susan and their two children too. Lastly, I loved how the Body participated in cleaning up the church before and after a service. Nevertheless, here are some of my realistic observations: 1) There was alot of distractions during the service. When the pastor and a guest speaker were teaching, some people stood up to get coffee, warm it up in a microwave, and stood in front drinking their coffee. I was surprised by their actions. 2) In my visit last November 2021, a lady interpreted to a non English speaker loudly while the guest pastor was giving a very good sermon. I really wanted to listen to his message but I was distracted. She has helped one guy but she has distracted many in the congregation, especially me. 3) Again during a sermon in 2020, a lady sitting beside me greeted a late comer and played with the baby loudly. I told her to tone down but she was just oblivious. 4) Whenever I visited the church, some regular attendees have asked me, "So, are you now going to start coming here? Is this now going to be your church?" I don't like to be put on the spot like that. So please, Pastor Drew, talk to your people about being respectful, sensitive and orderly especially during a sermon and towards visitors. Many times I want to visit your church because of your fine teachings, but when I remember the distractions I have encountered, it just turns me off. Please take my advice with a grain of salt and do something about it. I want the very best for your church."

"We started coming here in early 2021, and we couldn't be happier. My husband and I and our three children were in desperate need of finding a home church and adopting and connecting to a church family, and I say with full confidence and wholeheartedness that the Lord has blessed us by answering our prayers. This church is not just a building, its a true congregation that thrives on fellowship and discipling others to come to the one and true Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. No manmade rituals, no social legalistic rules to follow, just His will and His written word. After just a few months, our family has grown some much in our walk with Christ and our spiritual journey. This church helps guides us to be better individuals, parents, and has blessed our marriage. Personally for me, one of my favorite things about our new home church is that Pastor Drew, his wife Susan don't just preach and talk at us, they speak with us, they follow up on us, they truly make you feel so welcome and due their biblical diligence on establishing connections, while maintaining boundaries. Lastly, its very family oriented atmosphere, which is always a plus for our children's social, emotional, mental and spiritual welfare."

"Wonderful church and the only church I've joined that stays in touch with their members, pastor Drew and his wife Susan always makes it possible in getting to know everyone, they have a sitdown with everyone individually. The service brings out so much joy into your hearts. We have bible studies, men and woman groups, Wednesday's we have outreach in where we give free supplies such as water in the neighborhoods. Sunday kids school, We sing beautiful songs in which Pastor Drew and his wife Susan have written themselves. Their children are super talented, they play the guitar and I love how humble and loving they are. I remain dedicated to this church because of their love and compassion and we all feel that same love. Come and join us every Sunday, I am sure your soul will be rejoiced and your hearts will be softer and opened to welcome God into your lives. Blessings from Belinda"

"It’s not often that you come across a church that teaches solely from the Bible, but this is thankfully one of those churches that get their principles and teaching from God’s word ONLY. Everyone there is so welcoming and friendly. They really make you feel like you’re part of the family. The pastor and his family has been so loving and welcoming towards me and my family. Couldn’t ask for a more humble, loving, and friendly environment than this one. Highly recommend!"
