John Cherry

Good basic Bible teaching, Blatant nepotism, Pastor Cherry appoints his son John Cherry #2 as Pastor of the parent church and future Episcopal Pastor ???? No Church Deacon's but Church Mother's ?? Not sure if scripture teaches on the position or title of Church Mother but there were Deacon's. Good teaching but some questionable practices. Very good ministry as long as you use common sense, Study the word for yourself as well as being taught and keep your eyes open.

Thetruthseeker, I agree with everything you have said. But the one thing you refuse to mention, admit, and are in denial about is that your Pastor and Episcopal Pastor have wronged many good people and have not apologized, and have not asked for forgiveness from the ones they have wronged. They feel that they are above reproach. Perhaps denial, mention, and admit are wrong words to label you with, because you obviously don't know much about your Pastor and Episcopal Pastor. Since you don't know much about your Pastor and Episcopal Pastor you can't be in denial, you can't admit, and you can't mention much about them. You really don't know them. Both of them are great teachers, but one area they do not live by according to their teachings is how they treat others. There are those who have served and given their life to that ministry, its Pastor, and Episcopal Pastor. I have and others have served within the very inner circles of that ministry and have witnessed their mistreatment and wro... Read more

After reading the few negative comments, it's clear to me that there are many that lack knowledge, information and some, just plain common sense. God is doing a BIG work in this church, and when that's the case our adversary (the devil) always shows up. I've heard people talk about jets, (helicopters, we don't have) tithes, church audits, other FTH churches and other material things. It is evident that some people don't know what's going on. For those who actually go to church, how many churches do you know that disclose the financial status of the church (by the number) to it's members... probably none! We live at a time where our elected officials have totally wrecked the financial structure of our country, stolen from YOU, caused YOU lose YOUR job or YOUR home. I say, turn all your negative energy and do something about that! Complain to congress, write a letter or something. I beleive that's a bigger issue to YOU that the inner works of a ministry or a pastor you have littl... Read more

Truly, FTHCM, is the best church I have ever attended on planet earth. Jacquelyn T. McKnight

Isn't this that guy who goes on mindless rants between periods on televised hockey games? Oh, sorry, wrong list again.

this page is funny cuz non of yall niggaz really know... Yeah I said NIGGAZ cuz that's you all are acting like. I was born in 1981 and my mom was a member before I could talk. I went to school at Full Gospel, went to church at Full Gospel and developed life long friendships their. What I learned there was how to hustle. Back in the day Uncle John and John John (that's what I called them) kept it funky just like you do, yes U. They love God and beleive that the things(material) they have were given to them by God. We cant get mad that is what they beleive! Hell, I belive it too. When we give to the Lord we cant worry about what man has planned for our giving...just do it with a cheerful heart! What ever happened to those 82 acres and the 24 million dollar santuary? My mom got paid for selling the land to the church and peaced out. CAN'T KNOCK THE HUSTLE...GET OVER IT! The name is Kevin by the way! myspace.com/working247

Wasn't this the goalie for The Bruins when Bobby Orr was a superstar?

I have to respond to two comments or responses to "theinv".First response to "ctc" response on 5/2/2007 to "theinv" comment on 2/10/2007: Yes, the lier jet is leased by the church. But, only to benefit Episcopal Pastor John A. Cherry and his son Pastor John A. Cherry. I know this for a fact. I was at the members meeting years ago when the church bought the jet. Episcopal Pastor Cherry (father) told me when I flew on it with him how much it cost a member of the church if they wanted to charter the jet. The amount is unbelievable. If it is the tithes of the members of the church that bought the jet then why should they have to pay a large amount of money to charter the jet. It is also a known fact that Episcopal Pastor Cherry (father) and Pastor Cherry (son) do not pay a charter fee to fly on the jet. It is also a known fact that Episcopal Pastor John Cherry (father) allowed Pastor John Cherry (son) to use the jet free of charge to go on a sky trip years ago when he was the assistant pas...

No one's perfect. I thank God for the things I've learned under Pastor Cherry when I was stationed in the D.C. area during the early 90's. He was on point with the Word. I took it to heart and it made me a better man, father, husband and Christian. God's the judge, let him judge. Peace. ...whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8

On target!!

fthcm changed my life.....SAVED my life.

As somebody that has worked at Mr. Cherry's home I would like to know how much of his church's money he's used to purchase his jet, helicopter, regulation basketball court and tennis court at his home, his 1/4 mile long brick paver driveway, his rv and all his other material garbage. I have plenty of dirt on good ole Pastor Cherry so keep on believing in his two faced garbage you tools.

I remember being in the choir and going to church one sunday and seeing Cherry put a LOST of churches on BLAST on national television talking about each and every one individually. now THAT was completely uncalled for. Now since he wants to put people on blast I'm going to give him HIS review. John Cherry purchased an elementary school and asked for permits to build a gymnasium. He did just that. He built a gym/15k seat sanctuary and the person who gave him the permit lost their job. I met her and she is now a VERY upset and angry realtor who tells everyone she knows about him. His fraudulent furniture business he used to have is another story but I won't talk about that. He didn't claim to be a christian then. A few years ago his niece was my assistant in gospel concert producing, had issues and I believe she was 20 or 21 at the time and ran away to stay with my family who put her off on me and since we were very close I let her stay wit hme for 2 weeks. Her family called hanging up o... Read more

Truthhurts, you seem to know a lot but leave out some facts. It's obvious you were a member of the central church or know someone that used to be onstaff. If you are for the Truth why don't you use your real name, mine is James E Green III. If you are for the truth, tell the whole truth and not a part of the truth. If you have such a grudge, why don't you bring your greivances up at church?!?!? There are 2 sides to every story. Why don't you tell us the details of the lawsuit? If Pastor Owes was in the wrong, why is he still ministering? Why don't you tell us why Pastor Jackson was called an enemy of the cross? Why don't you tell us why another church was bought in Atlanta? As far as Pastor Cherry taking 10% off all FTHCM funds, you don't even believe that lie.

Ira V HILLIARD AND BRIDGETTE HARRISON HILLIARDS DAUGHTER On Kermeshea Hilliard Evans (the one they disowned) They have 4 daughters not 3. Wow! all of these comments, so little time. I once attended New Light Church with Pastor & Bridget Hilliard, they were always nice and I am not here to bash anyone. But since we are on the topic of his daughter that he and his wife disowned, and people want to know let me reveal the truth, not the story. The truth is Dr. Bridget and Dr. Hilliard have a daughter name, Kermeshea Hilliard Evans, she is bright and very out spoken, she has her own mind. Kermeshea is probably about 33 years old, they disowned her for allegedly stealing from the church. It's so comically to me because, HOW CAN YOU TEACH PEOPLE TO FORGIVE? if you won't forgive your own daughter. And if God gave you a child and you disown that child, you are calling God a lie. If you say you have 3 daughters and you really have 4. Kermeshea Hilliard Evans (the one the... Read more

I have been following Pastor Cherry long before his church was established in Hbg and there was always something about his method of teaching that caught my attention,He speaks not from his own words but with the words of God as does his son. If you truly study the word you will know that he teaches nothing but the word. Test the spirits by the spirits and give God all the praise

dr cherry takes 10% of all the from the heart churchs money from tithes and uses it for himself, and his son cherry the II call pastor jackson an enemy of the cross and pastor jackson was his best man at his wedding, he takes churches from the people who dont want him to oversee there church anymore and leaves the shepard and sheep astray with no direction but says he's an angel of the church(yea an angel bringing strife), but were declaring our oneness right? everything the Zion church did to him he's doing to the pastor who pull out, he shipped pastor owes from houston to maryland to southern califorina and back to maryland and lied and said he finished his tasked in california, pastor owes really got in a lawsuit with a member for over a million dollors but they won't tell us that, when swafford was at the parents church he called pastor swafford his son but then flew down to tampa and said something totally different in pastor swafford pulpit, and Dr cherry had the nerve to buy a c...

Pastor Cherry's words have motivated me to take action against those who choose to try and invade my home and life with there decadence.  I took a stand and have become a warrior in Christ and stand tall in the knowledge that all is possible with Christ, Fear nothing.

Pastor Cherry is a dynamite teacher and it is up to all individuals to seek out the gospel for ourselves. The messages are right on and if we take the time to find out what the WORD says for ourselves, we will see that he is teaching what the Bible teaches. Too many people are hung op on what he has and not what he does. He has led thousands to Christ and not to himself. His congregation has an infrastructure in place and openly discloses the finances of the church. How rare to do this and this is something that most churches do not do.

How does Mr. Cherry explain his RV worth approx. $1 mil, his Outdoor Resort in Indo,CA, his othe RV resort on the east coast, and his Lear Jet that he uses to fly from one Multi $mil. home to another? Doesn't he understand that Christ preached against such matereal things, and why doesn't he share his wealth with his followers? Are his followers aware of his flagarant life style?

as in bust her?

He and Pastor Cherry,II are great preachers of the Gospel. We love them. Sir and Adrian Lpve FTHCM of Chicago

he keeps it real no cutcards thats just what GOD'S people needs today

He is a powerful and truthful speaking minister, that knows God, and God has revealed the mystery of himself, and granted him the privilidge to know him, and speak his truth about him. He is no longer on The Word Network and I would love to know why. I miss hearing him, and studying with his ministry.

I must concur with SONmind. John Cherry is one of the few TV preachers who presents a balanced gospel not full of non-sensical rhetoric, catch phrases, and unending appeals for money. He preaches the Word straight from the Bible, and not his own interpreation of it. I have never heard him recite the greed creed that most modern day preachers spout without ceasing and without apology. In fact, Dr. Cherry admonishes against the dangerous Word of Faith teaching that we should have whatever we want from God, thus making us puppetmasters of the God of the universe. He is a balanced teacher and a true man of God who preaches Jesus, repentence, and holy living. It is so refreshing to finally find a minister who is not consumed with the name and claim it theology of prosperity and greed. Thank you, Dr. Cherry.

I appreciate experiencing excellence in whatever I consume. This should especially apply when one is talking about consumption of things that influence ones thinking, actions, words, and ultimately their ETERNAl end. To be a true minister (servant) requires diligence, sacrifice, prayer (with tears), and true intimacy with GOD. The man or woman of GOD must take pleasure in HIS glory being revealed in transformed people, not from personal material gain. Pastor Cherry is one of the few I've seen on TV whose teaching reflects these traits.
