Rhonda Sullivan Ive been going to Victory Full Gospel Church for 5 years and Im proud to call it my Home Church..

Sherie Loverkamp I took the photos for their church directory. I have never attended this church, but all the people I encountered that were members were sweet, kind, funny, nice and they treated me like they had known me forever (some of them actually have known me forever haha). I have also attended their ice cream social . The food was great and so was the socializing. Ice cream was very very good!! If you are ever in the area during this event in August you should attend!

Tanya Rand Traditional, relaxing welcoming

Pat Rick I recently got married at this church and had a phenomenal experience. The church was beautiful and the mass was perfect. The whole staff was great but especially deacon Mike — he truly cared and made sure everything went smoothly. Thanks St. Patrick’s!!

Clint Benesh From the moment my family walked through the doors we felt like family! There is something for everyone! Join us in worship at 1030.

Gabriel Gryzmala Marion Aldersgate Church is an excellent community with a very friendly staff that ensures everyone feels connected and a part of both the church family and the family of Christ.

Emily Mandrell I have been going here about two years now. My husband and I started coming here at a time where there was new beginnings happening in this church. It was neat to come in at a time where the church was revamping programs, leadership, and services! The staff here are great, godly men who serve the Lord, love their wives, and invest there time and money into building Gods kingdom. I have found comfort in my church family here. This church is about discipleship and planting new churches locally and globally! Its a Spirit filled, Spirit led church indeed. If you are looking for a godly, Bible believing Bible preaching church, come check us out!! WE LOVE JESUS!!!

Abby Zirkelbach Such wonderful people here! Service is inspiring and praise and worship is so powerful. Im so happy they accepted me as i am into their amazing family!

Debbie Ryals Amazing place to watch holy Ghost preaching and people get delivered from sin and grow in God & be ready for Jesus return!

Steve Rehder I love to go to this place. The people are very friendly. They treat you like you are part of their family. It is a great atmosphere to be in, especially if you have children.

FanBev Dekkr Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The sermon was a balm for my hurting soul. I will go back.

Samantha Miller Faith in Places Southern IL Outreach Coordinator, Wade, is the Pastor of this beautiful church. Its partially surrounded by a couple acres of green grass and they have their own food garden. The members were welcoming.

AR Robinson September 1, 2024 Someone let the serpent into the Garden of Eden. This place WAS wonderful. And it does still have age appropriate child care, coffee BEFORE the service, extremely talented singers, musicians, soundboard crew, greeters, study groups. All together just an amazing crew of folks working tirelessly to pull off 3 services/week. A great TEAM! Then an inside group of unknown individuals decided their Lead Pastor Michael Nave (who had been with Cornerstone since atleast 2011), needed to be taken down a notch. During the apology video by Pastor Nave (I thought someone had died, it was that bad) he stated he had contributed to a toxic work environment…The speaker following the video stated the suspension was NOT due to s*xual or financial misconduct. Well, that’s good. September 8, 2024 Attendance down by 25-30%. Speaker was average. Michael was extraordinary. Music is still very good, so there’s that. Spoke w/an Elder re Michael Naves absence and its effect on attendance. He states Cornerstone is a Christ Centered church. Aren’t ALL Christian churches “Christ centered?” I drive past a slew of “Christ centered” churches from Carbondale, Cambria, Carterville, Herrin. Why would I travel all the way to Marion CornerStone? Michael Nave. I don’t care your beliefs, Michael could speak and you would hear. Believe in a higher being or not, Cornerstone had an amazing vector to influence people to follow Christ. Emphasis on had. The “jury” is still deciding whether or not to re-instate Pastor Nave and it’s not looking good. Praying the serpent doesn’t win.

Krissy Tucker Cornerstone has taught me how to walk and live a child of Gods life. And when they preach, its more of a teaching experience with surrendering. And the music there, is what caught me first. So glad to be a part of Cornerstone

Shannon Griswold Best experience of my life in this church. Great people. My pastor was Rev. R.G. Walls when I went for almost 9 years. I was a Sunday school teacher for 8 of them years. Great church.

john price The people who attend here are really friendly. Definitely tuned into the Holy Ghost. But more than the fact that they worship like fans at a sporting event (tame though, and not violent) they are living out the gospel. These people dont just talk the talk, they walk the walk. Theyve helped my family in particular quite a few times, but dont mistake that for being pushovers. They know whos legitimately in need and who is just using them.

Kelly Bidwell I Love the Journey! Great church and Great people!

Ed Outland We love our church and pastor. Give it a try Sundays at 10 am.

Emily Claudin Come check out abundant life! It will feel like family!

Jonathan DeWitt Best church I have ever been to. You’ll have to show up to see why!

Sasha M A beautiful church family in a beautiful church building doing so many lovely things to show Gods love to the community around them. Truly wonderful place full of truly wonderful people.

Emily Smith Im not one to normally leave a review on anything, but I was a little taken aback by the way I was treated on the phone by the secretary of this church. I called asking potentially for some information for some help with something and before I can even get the full sentence out of my mouth the women on the phone says nope cant help not today. Ive never been talked to this way from any church and was very disappointed

Brenda Carter Caring church family and Gods spirit is working in our church families lives! Many avenues to grow spiritually for adults, youth and children.

Jeffrey Powers Amazing facility. Great congregation and the preacher is top notch. Original, onovative, and knowledgeable.
