"Beware of Cult Mentality: members and elders say 'it's a people loving place.' Like a slogan, they repeat it methodically which is kind of strange. But reality is actually much different. And that slogan may not translate as you think. I can not express enough the need to be careful and especially if you are bringing in families. No I don't recommend this place. I agree with the other person who mentioned that gossip is a problem here among other things even more concerning. Trust is extremely important when you are dealing with a church, and matters of the heart. You don't expect those things to be spread over the whole congregation. And there is even a criminal element moving through there. I know they greet you, smile in your face and welcome you publicly. But what speaks louder to me is how you treat people behind their back and what is truly happening behind the scenes and out of the pulpit. And that is not only heart breaking, but disheartening. Leadership dress up nice but you don't always know who you're dealing with."

"Go with an open heart and a loving soul and you'll always be happy you came to the People Loving Church - Long Beach"

"I love my church it's truly a place of worship and a friendly place to be. The leadership is really on point and I would highly recommend comming here to worship and praise god ."

"SEEMS LIKE A CULT TYPE EXPERIENCE AND GROUP, in my opinion. I would not fall for the high intensity and smiles, I think you really have to be more prudent and look more closely what's happening in this place. When information shared with the prayer ministry team can be spread for gossip instead of prayer is hurtful to others to say the least. And though they are aware of issues with this type of conduct from them has not resolved it, nor do they seem concerned. In actuality they'll likely be more concerned about the review I'm sure than any real change and breaking up that group. I wouldn't share any info with that group because if you could see them gossip you would definitely think twice. I've seen them in action and will not trust them with any personal information, this experience has been EXTREMELY hurtful. That's not okay at all. I have to question whether the pastor should be replaced when placing people like that over the prayer ministry and different leadership and counseling positions of the church. Writing this review was necessary to emphasize the falling away I have seen there of true Christian values. And where something is happening that to me seems like a cult. If a church allows an asst pastor counsel others while in intimate relationship with someone of criminal background is that okay? . In my opinion it's not a good place for families and I DO NOT RECOMMEND."

"Had a wonderful Easter Sunday visiting this church with my family."
