BATES MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHURCH REVIEWS
This is my home church in Louisville. I've been at this church now for 5 yrs. Found this church online when I moved here from Tennessee decided to visit and I've been there every since. I love Pastor Bruce Williams, he is an awesome Pastor and teacher of the word of God. He's also a Pastor that fights for justice & equality for all people. I Love the Bates Church family. I miss the fellowship and hugs. We haven't been inside of the church since the pandemic but you can watch and stream the service online. This is a great church to join if you are looking for a church home.
I love my church family and friends. Awesome serviced the preacher is transparent and gets the message across to any age group. Beautiful atmosphere you can feel the presence of the holy spirit.
I really enjoy wednesday worship. They make you feel welcomed. People there are nice. I enjoy smiling and speaking to the older ladies in the kitchen. Reminds me of when i was a child and my grandmother helped prepare meals for our church. Such a blessing.

SOUTHEAST CHRISTIAN CHURCH REVIEWS
I began attending SE/Blankenbaker, about 4 yrs ago,& joined a few months later. I’d moved here from out of state and had been in a church of 100 or so members.I wasn’t sure I could adjust,& the first few services were a bit overwhelming.However, the worship was SO authentic, the sermons SO ‘where the rubber hits the road’(no matter who’s speaking),the baptisms SO awesome, my adult daughter’s Shine/special needs class SO great, the choices of small groups and studies SO incredible, the things the church does for the community and around the world SO phenomenal, etc, that I decided to stay…join a class/group where I could get to know people and be known. I am very thankful for this church…for the people dedicated to helping each other grow…for the special needs ministry…& that I know I’m growing and changing for the better because of hearing solid truths consistently taught.
This church truly lives out its mantra of loving people one at a time and pointing them to Jesus! Worship service is great... something awe-inspiring to see several thousand people lifting up the name of the Lord with one voice. Teaching is relevant, but grounded in the Word. Highly recommend.
Loved this church, the worship is great and so are the sermons. The church is really big (it even has a cafe and a bookshop inside) but I still felt really welcomed. Would definitely recommend! Also the whole experience of visiting such a big church was worth it.

St. Stephen Baptist Church is one of Louisville's most renowned black churches for worship. With a congregation of 10,000 members, the church was recognized by Outreach Magazine as one of America's largest 100 churches in 2005. Their fundamental beliefs are rooted in the conviction that the Scriptures are God's divinely inspired and written Word. St. Stephen Church comprises Christian believers who have made a covenant commitment to worship God and spread the Gospel to non-believers. The new church building was erected on the site of the original St. Stephen Baptist Church. The church offers Sunday school lectures combined with practical preaching and instruction based on the insightful bible of Cosby. With the expansion of its online worship services and programming, St. Stephen's e-campus has grown to include members from other states, including Connecticut, Georgia, Ohio, and Florida.

ST. STEPHEN BAPTIST CHURCH REVIEWS
I always enjoy attending this church and am considering joining. For a larger congregation it has a feel of a smaller church. The people are really friendly. The pastor, Kevin Cosby, is a real teacher of the Word of God. He makes it so easy to follow and understand. I truly look forward to each service.
My home church. Rev Cosby has built a little church into one of the largest church(Black) that should be a great inspiration to those interested in the ministry. Come visit and see what services we offer.
St. Stephen Missionary Baptist is the best church I have ever attended. It is a blessing to be a member and to serve there. Our pastor, Dr. Kevin W. Cosby, is an extraordinary preacher, teacher, and leader. Our music programs and choirs are exceptional. We receive strong Biblical and practical messages in all services, Sunday School classes, and continuing events. I strongly recommend St. Stephen to everyone. It is a Christ-honoring service-oriented place of dynamic worship and ministry.
