Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it, here is what folks have to say about The Authentic Movement
“In 2022, it was a really hard year for my husband and I. We lost a lot of loved ones, but at the beginning of 2023, I felt a little disconnected and further away from the Lord than I wanted to be. I kept trying to find a home church, but I couldn’t find anything that worked for me. Then, Pastor Chris was putting out coffee mugs, and she dropped one on my doorstep, and I have been coming ever since. I’m so grateful to be a part of Authentic and that you are here in Alcoa.”
– Mary Reynolds
“My cousin from California called me and said, ‘I’m coming out for a family reunion, and I want to go to this new church called Authentic Church.’ We came together on a Sunday, and long story short, I attend now with my mom every Sunday. We have fallen in love with the people and what Pastor James and Chris have done. It has been such a blessing!”
– Dennis Carter
“Authentic Church, for us, is about family. When we found Authentic Church a year ago, I had been looking for a church for a long time, and Pastor James had been the coach of my son’s basketball team. My husband had been attending his Bible study, and we found out he was launching a church, and we said, “We have to go the first week.” It has become a family, and we look forward every Sunday to go to church and being in a building full of people who truly love the Lord and each other.”
