Review & Rating

Wonderful church... enjoyed the service especially the remembrance table and the usage of Gods character of min gender.

If you've never been spiritually fed and mentally revolutionized, you must visit and join the movement! I have and I need to be in service every Sunday, I can't always make it but am there in spirit!! A renewed vision of community and brother/sisterhood here at Sankofa UCC with pastor Derrick Rice.

NOW THIS IS THE WAY CHURCH IS SUPPOSED TO BE!! Today was my families first time coming to Sankofa and I LOVED IT! 😁😁 Pastor Rice preached a REAL message and told the truth about Christmas despite the fact that it's an uncomfortable truth for some people. The part about the enemy sometimes being the inner me hit home. His spirit feels very genuine and I'm glad he took the time to speak to me after service. I will definitely be back.

Everything you would want in a Church, Biblically sound, socially aware, spiritually uplifting, active in the community, welcoming, energetic, respectful of our ancestors, and very relevant for our community.

Sankofa UCC is a church that allows their social justice conscious merge with their spiritual beings. Pastor Derrick Rice preaches and teaches like no other. When you step in the Chapel you feel the Spirit. The choir is phenomenal as well. Please come and join the movement.

This church has an earnest and beautiful energy to it--I strongly recommend at least a visit to any thoughtful person in the metro!

Rev. Rice, is the best he was there for my family when my husband passed away, on August 2012. Rev. Rice, is a dedicated family friend and Pastor. He has an awesome Church!

I visited this church for the 1st time on 12/4/18 I truly enjoyed the entire program. The church was filled with friendly people and the sermon was filled with widom, and laughter. I love the fact that it's not so traditional. I felt like I was amongst family. I will go again.
