Purely promotional article for a church. Nothing more notable than any other local church, except its ability to send out press releases. DGG ( talk ) 06:55, 11 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• Weak delete. Buried in the long list of mostly unhelpful references are a few that actually do appear to be substantive independent coverage, suggesting that the church and its style of ministry may be a bit beyond the run of the mill. [1] [2] [3] It's all local and I don't think it's enough by itself to meet WP:GNG, and I couldn't find anything substantive from a non-local source, but if someone else turns up something like that, I'd be open to reconsidering. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 17:53, 11 December 2013 (UTC) reply
• Not sure at this stage: This doesn't come from a press release. It says the membership is 2000, which would make it a megachurch, but that is defined according to weekly attendance, and according to the article, that is only (!) 1500. And I'm finding it hard to find a source for the attendance, which suggests it may not be passing notability standards. And I would lean to a delete per WP:TNT - the article is a mess, with a long, unreferenced criticism section. St Anselm ( talk) 20:32, 11 December 2013 (UTC) reply

Actually, the most recent attendance noted in the article is 2,400, which would make it a megachurch, and means it could be presumed to be notable. St Anselm ( talk) 20:40, 11 December 2013 (UTC) reply

• Delete - Might not be run of the mill, but it needs more sources to say so. Fails GNG per above (all local, etc.). --— Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:44, 12 December 2013 (UTC) reply
• Weak keep - appears to pass at least one factor in my standards. Bearian ( talk) 18:38, 13 December 2013 (UTC) reply
