Spirit of Praise Church - Harlingen (TX)

5 /5 Santiago Vega: The Holy Spirit is moving in this church. I’ve read a few bad reviews and what is being said is not true. There is no watered down sugar coated gospel being preached here. I have been a member of this church most of my life. If you walk into a church looking for flaws in people you will find them. But if you walk into our church looking for hope and salvation. You will find it. No one is turned away. Pastor Joe and all the leaders are real ones! Come by our church you won’t regret it. May the Lord tug at your heart as you read this if u truly belong with us. In Jesus name.

5 /5 Brenda Mwaura: Spirit of Praise and Pastor Joe and his wife Angie. Along with their kids Vanessa. CJ and his wife, Vanessa have made such an impact on my families life. My kids are growing in their walk with God. They see things now that they no longer want to be a part of bc they are aware how it is worldly and not Godly. The women of SOP understand what it means to be sisters in Christ. There is no “church trauma or drama” Pastor Joe teaches the truth from the Word. There is no theological twists or expectations. For once my family feels at HOME and connected. Pastor Joe remembered my name and my kids names after meeting us the first Sunday we ever went. SOP is a true family at the center. CJ and his wife Vanessa go above and beyond for the youth group. And venturing out with them on trips. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for this place in 2025. Come join

1 /5 Abby Nagel: Use to be an awesome church. Under new management Ive come to find that the spirit has been lost. Control, lies, and deceit are reasons I decided to pull my kids from my once beloved church. I pray the new generation running this church now find their way back to Christ.

1 /5 goated reviewer: "Praise god" was my last review but now I am editing it 4 years later. So now this is my updated review on this place. It is a one star now. This church is not like the reviews I have seen and I was super let down by a lot of things. Mostly the people was the problem. Dont let these people fool you. It is good to worship God ,but they gossip in this church. They talk bad about you without you knowing and everyone is not who they are. I came here and I will not go back here. It has been almost 2 years since I came to this church and I would not recommend. Stay away and find a better church that actually praises God and not gossip like God said in the bible not to do. People come and people go and it seems the church never grows. I just wish that the leaders was actually being leaders instead of letdowns. Huge disappointment in these people for seeing their true colors. If I could not meet any of those leaders again, I would take that chance. Especially the youth, it is run by a husband and wife and they the same. Chismoso y chismosa en su maxima. That is how bad they are when I talk about them in spanish. Also really bad leaders. They pick on people. I would love to see the youth how it was once. The guy I believe his name was Isaiah or something like that was a good youth leader. I have no idea where he went but he was a good leader I could tell. But these new leaders, suck. I could go tomorrow to this church and sure I would get a welcome but a stare from someone if they remember me. But, I will say that Sonia was the best pastor there. Really good spanish pastor and good person in general. But everyone else, trash. Please take my review very serious and understand what I went through because I wouldnt wish this place even on my worse enemy. Be smart about the church you go to and this one in particular, no. Just stay away and learn from my mistakes. Thank you!
