    He is serving God and doing the work God has called him to do. Just like everyone else, he's human. That's why we need to read our own Bible instead of settling with listening to someone else read theirs. - Melissa Batt


    Discern the significance of accepting individuals where they are in their faith journey. Elevation Church believes in serving both those who need spiritual milk and those who yearn for deeper spiritual instruction. Furtick and his church symbolize an accepting house of worship that caters to the diverse needs of its attendees, ultimately fostering love and embracing all. 

    Are you planning to attend live and want quick tips before you visit?

    Plan ahead and arrive at the church early to avoid traffic and secure your seat in the main sanctuary. We were staying in a hotel 15 minutes away; an hour was not enough time to get through traffic and get parked. The further off campus you park, the less traffic you will endure. Visit the Elevation Church website to learn more about their campuses and upcoming events. Also, take advantage of the passionate volunteers who are there to assist you.
