We spent 10 days traveling Memphis, New Orleans, and Clarksdale, listening to phenomenal music all along the way. The best (and most inspiring) sounds, though, came from this choir. We felt delivered to heaven's gate after a 2-hour service. Thank you Bishop Green for memories we'll never forget.

I read the mixed reviews of this church and I have to be honest I am not sure how they are mixed? I thought this was an amazing and welcoming experience - definitely different from other churches I've been to. I guess what I thought felt welcoming, others may have felt was touristy. When we first pulled up I was... More

It was even more the southern soulful experience we were hoping for, and as an added bonus we were fortunate enough to see Rev. Al Green. On the Sunday that we went, it seemed there were many more tourists than congregation. The music and praising was great. There were several women dancing wildly in the aisles. The sermon was delivered... More

Loved it. Unfortunately the Bishop Al Green wasn't there when we went due to some sort of family emergency. However, this was still an amazing experience. I'm not religious, but for a white Catholic boy from England, this really was something I thought only existed in the Blues Brothers. Thought I'd feel a bit odd gawping at people while they... More

I don't know about you, but when I go to church I go there to worship our God Jehovah (Luke 4:8) and to learn about Him and His son Jesus Christ (John 17:3). I do enjoy singing praises to Jehovah, too. All glory to Jehovah.

This was a bonus on our visit to Memphis, to see the Rev Al Green at his Gospel Church, to hear him preach and sing was truly wonderful, such a warm welcome by all at the Church.

The singing/band was very good. Everything else was terrible. The "real" congregation numbers about 8, everyone else was tourists. Have to go up front to give your offering, told not to be "cheap". Pastor Al was unprepared, read the wrong passage and had no sermon to speak of. If you want a real gospel church experience, go where the locals... More

Just like you would imagine. We had to leave after 1 1/2 hours as we had to get somewhere. It was nice down home preaching by Al Green. Nice way to go to church on. The road

Another reviewer mentioned this already, but I feel it should be mentioned again. This is a real church. Please dress appropriately. The regular attendees will be dressed in their Sunday best and you should be too. For Europeans in particular, it is not polite, nor expected, to take pictures during an actual service. Yes, I have taken many pictures in... More
