Name it and claim it? Prosperity Gospel? So I guess Job and Solomon and Abraham and Issac and Jacob and __________ should have given it all away too?

Or could it simply be that God is blessing Mr. Conley for his faithfulness? And perhaps you are jealous because your church has forgotten how to be both scripturally accurate AND culturally relevant? When was the last time your church had to put out extra chairs to accommodate all the people trying to get in, much less build a new building to hold them all and minister to them?

And insofar as his "not caring" -- he cannot personally minister to 5,000+ people; that's why the church has a huge staff. As a leader, his job is to minister to the needs of his staff so that they, in turn, can minister to the church. II Timothy 2:2, anybody? HELLO?

I see God keeping His promises when I look at Bayless. When I listen to his tapes, God speaks and the Holy Spirit shows me where I need to grow and change.

Perhaps you might consider listening to his God-given message instead of trying to find fault. "For in the way you judge, you will be judged..." (betcha don't need a reference for that one, do you?).

Geesh. Stay faithful, brother Bayless!

My wife and i attended cottonwood christian center for several years. They pushed giving to the limit to move into their new lot on katella. It was disgraceful. They would ask people physically to come forward and dontate -putting you on the spot so you would feel obligated. It backfired on me. I became more and more aware that bayless was not approachable. If you weren't on his staff he didn't have time for you. The word pastor comes from the greek word to shepherd. A shepherd oversees the flock-takes care of them.I thought about the contrast to jesus, though son of god, creator of the universe, was accesible to even the blind, lame , and outcasts of society He always had time to minister to the needs of people. This twenty-first century evangelism -self centeredness - false prosperity teaching is destroying the body of chirst. The only one's getting rich are those who are preaching the message and collecting the money.
From what i gather the church has no financial openness. I could not find anything about them through any charity watch dogs -which probably means he is covering up large financial profiting.
Hey, if anyone out there knows of a good church in orange county hit me up, ok ? god bless all

Great teaching but Errors on Tithing
Just a few Scriptures that the Mandatory Jewish Law of Tithing is no longer required because Christ has fulfilled all Laws and requirements of the law by His death on the Cross: Still Giving extravagantly to support your Church should be automatic & beyond ten percent in light of all that Christ gave us for free. If the Lords people cannot give ten percent of their money, they need to to be told the truth, that Gods favor & blessings is included as a package with His free gift of Salvation "It is finished" means all debts were paid in full when He died on that Cross for us.


Colossians 2:14 "Blotting out the handwriting of Ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. The word Ordinance (requirements was used in Malachi 3:7)

Ephesians 2:15 "Having abolished in his flesh the enmity even the law of commandments contained in ordinances for to make in himself of twain one new man so making peace".
(Notice that Ordinance-requirement word again)

Acts 15:10 "So then why do you now want to put God to the test by laying a load on the backs of the believers which neither our ancestors nor we ourselves were able to carry?"

Acts 15:19 " We should not trouble the Gentiles who are turning to God.

Acts 15: 28 "The Holy Spirit and we (the Apostles) have agreed not to put any burdens on you beside these necessary rules (instructions were given without commanding Gentiles Tithe)

2nd Corinthians 9:7 "Each one should give then as he has DECIDED, not with regret or out of a sense of duty, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Acts 20:33: You yourselves know that I (Apostle Paul to the Gentiles) have now wanted anyone's gold, silver or clothing. You yourselves know that I have worked with these hands for everything that my companions and I have needed.

1Thessalonians 2:9 "Surely you remember our brothers (Gentiles) how we worked and toiled!
We worked day and night so that we would not be any trouble to you as we preached to you the Good News from God."

Romans 8:32 God did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not with Him (Christ) freely give us all things.
Notice the word FREELY & ALL THINGS not because a tithe payment but Christ finished work on the Cross that was paid in full!

Bayless Conley's teaching is Spirit-filled & with great biblical and sound doctrine I take issue with one thing Bayless allows. The Ministry called "Fuse on Sunday nights" have allowed the Youth to select and do skits on SECULAR Themes from our societies (godless) pop-culture, WHY is this necessary? Themes such as: Beatle Mania,( a theme on Fuse night that ran for a month in July of 07). Super Heroes, Batman other worldly skits. Maybe the Fuse Youth did not know this but years ago when the Beatles were at the height of their fame Lennon once claimed they were more famous than Jesus enraging many Church leaders, the Beatles also introduced New age false religions & promoted drugs in some of their later songs as in the song "I get high with a little help from my friends" & yellow submarine who many felt was about LSD ),& Why the Batman Superman & other Mythical themes to attract the masses of young people???

Christian churches that allow themes from Movies, TV and promote Super hero type movies themes is also wrong because today's Super Heroes and Movies are not the same as in the past. Why can't Jesus be the only superstar in His Church? ?? The modern Super hero type movie versions have sexual content & profanity not becoming to a Christian. It is a sin & shame that so many of the Lords people are resorting to conforming to the world instead of being transformed (to Christ). As commanded in the Word. Love for the behavior & things of this unregenerated world is hatred for God.

Aren't we supposed to come out from among them and be separated ( in our thinking & behavior)? Aren't we new creations in Christ? Why can't the Fuse Youth Leaders use godly Bible characters & Bible Heroes for the "Fuse Sunday night" Themes instead? Aren't there plenty of Movie theatres and secular entertainment without going to church and finding it? Didn't our Lord say "He will not share His glory with another", glorying in wordly pop-culture (which is 90% ungodly & immoral is not good), in my opinion. I know the motive is to win the lost at any cost but Jesus said "if I be lifted up I will draw all men (& women) to me". There is enough power in the Gospel to save from the guttermost to the uttermost. Just drawing a youthful crowd seeking to be entertained is no measure of who is being truly saved, secular concerts all across America can draw a sold out crowd.

I want to be where Gods precious Holy Spirit has no competition.
Is a flirty bride pleasing to her husband? Hasn't God already said He is a jealous God and to have no other gods (idols) before Him? Why are so many of our Christian churches allowing the Youth to bring the worlds idols and movie themes to mix with our youth services? We are the bride of Christ our hearts should exalt Him alone!! These Fuse secular movie & media type skits nearly ruined it for me & my family.
On the plus side Cottonwood Christian Ctr. (not Fuse Srvc.) is one of the best Churches around in terms of strong Bible teaching and ministries that serve the community and spread the Gospel. If they left out the Fuse youth pop culture themes this would be the perfect place to Worship. I recognize that in this fallen-world nobody or Church is perfect, what is wrong with our striving to please our Lord & not the people? There is no doubt Bayless loves the Lord & is a great Bible teacher but the secular Fuse stuff is a turn-off to the thirsty for God alone. A big plus besides the great Bible teaching is all of the Musicians & Worship leaders are simply awesome! I wish they would sing more than 3 & a half songs a service though.

I Came to Cottonwood 12 years ago as a piece of trash type of person, full of hate for myself and for others, with more baggage than an airplane carries! The Love I recieved at Cottonwood from Janet and Pastor Bayless' ministry and leadership led me to find God in way that I have 200% certainty that God is real! His Love transformed me and now I am helping others. There is no price that could buy what I have recieved. I have been given more than I could ever deserve by way of love from this church and Leadership.

The sacrifice of time, family, and life that these Pastor's constantly subject themselves to is worth 5 mansions!! And I know this is what awaits our Pastor in Heaven. Anyone speaking bad about these Pastor's should try doing ministry for a while and see how much work it is and the great responsibility it holds. As harsh of words as people have spoken about the Pastor's I guarantee they would love to meet you and treat you with love, that is the way they are. They are not perfect and never claimed to be so. Their hearts are just about bringing a God who loves you, to you.

Our new building is built and is beautiful to welcome the sick, weak and hurting and treat them with the love and goodness many have never been able to experience. We gave part of our wages as a body to build this building over 10 years to bring healing to anyone who watches Pastor B on TV or walks through the Cottonwood doors. Your lives are worth every cent we have given and we will continue to give to reach anyone who is hurting.

I use to hate Christians too so I understand where you are coming from, but one thing God told me on my first visit to Cottonwood was not to punish God for what people do. Keep your eyes on God not Pastor B or anyone else, man will always let you down but God is always faithful. Like Pastor B always says, there is only one Superstar at our church and that is Jesus.

In Honor of His Love

He is avery interesting speaker and does teach some very good basic stuff without it being woolly. There are very few teachers around. We need to get back to basics and solid teaching for all the young born again belivers. What he has himself is not really important, if God has blessed him with much....who are we to argue.....He who is without sin.........

"a workman is entitled to his wage". If we see any brother to have lived a better life because of the hardworks he's doing for the ministry, I think we don't have the right to question any luxury he may have. Instead it should put a shame on us all, because we have been reluctant or unable to do the ministry God puts on us all. Instead, we entrust all the work to a single or few. And these few definitely deserved all the credits they are getting. I find brother Bayless pretty good in speaking the Word. But I think if he'll be willing and able to give up all the luxury God gave him, it will bring much difference. Would you think so?

i went to cottonwood since i was 8 ...when it was in a small little building on Katella. I stoped going because i MYSELF dont believe that a pastor should live in such luxury . THEY PAY NO TAXES !! its a nonprofit organization !! WHAT THEY GET THEY KEEP ! as soon as i was old enough to understand and watch what was going on i stoped going to that church. my mom still goes...she still believes and respects Bayless. I dont ! My mom poured sooooo much money to that church because every sunday YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOU HAVE TO GIVE !! they ALWAYS wanted money...no wonder he lives where he does ! WE PAYED FOR HIM ....his congrigation PAYED FOR HIS CARS... HIS MILLION $$ HOME...HIS WIFES DIAMONDS...HIS CHILDRENS LUXURIES ALSO... Harrison doesnt work ... and WOW he was made head of YOUTH.... THAT KID KNOWS NOTHING about being a mentor for the YOUTH...HES STILL A KID and doesnt have the love to give to these kids !! im ashamed of that church now !! and i will never be apart of CCC. i can say this because i was a member. And if you dont like it...oh well...i guess you can pray for my soul!

Just fyi, if you noticed, his tv program is called "Answers WITH Bayless Conley"... as in finding answers with him from where else... the Word! It's not "Answers FROM Bayless Conley"

I am a little confused about Bayless' ministry. I am not here to pass judgment on him or condemn his ministry at all, in any way. Here's where my confusion lies. I was raised Mormon and by the grace of God, I was born again nearly 3 years ago. The two people that I believe God used the most to lead me to a real relationship with Jesus Christ are 1) my lovely sister in law who has been very active at Cottonwood (w/ pastor Bayless), and 2) Hank Hanegraff who exposes Word of Faith teachers and other cultlike or heretical groups.

My sister in law has been deep into the Word of Faith movement (loves Joyce Meyers, Joel Olsteen, even Kenneth Copeland, etc), practices name it and claim it, prosperity teaching, health and wealth teaching, positive confession, etc. She really really believes this stuff and seems to also be open to the idea that Jesus partially atoned for our sins AFTER the cross, by suffering in hell.

That being said, she LOVES JESUS, is Christlike, does not fear, just trusts Jesus so much, knows her Bible, prays without ceasing, and is overall a very good Christian example for me. I don't, however, view faith as a force or believe in the unique WofF teachings. I've visited Cottonwood about 3 times, and noticed the bookstore stocked full of Word of Faith publications. On Cottonwood's site, their statement of faith does include the belief that through the atonement, we have the provision of physical health (I'm sure I'm wording that wrong, but its basically affirming that health and wealth prosperity false teaching, as far as I understand it). You know, how God wants all believers to be financially wealthy (I don't see this as Biblical).

However, I've not heard Bayless teach anything unBiblical, he seems to love Jesus and the Word, be a Spirit filled man of God, and for some reason, he seems to fly under the radar of the Evangelical ministries that expose cults and Word of Faith false teachers. He's included on sites like Oneplace.com, with all the orthodox teachers. Even though Hank prides himself on exposing these false Word of Faith teachers, Hank's ministry has ZERO online articles or information over the phone in their resource center, about Bayless' ministry.

This confuses me because Bayless is a very well known, internatally broadcasted televangelist. Sorry this is so long, but it really perplexes me. Should we consider Bayless' ministry to fall w/in the pale or orthodoxy or not??

I have a comment on money and owning nice things under a church or any charity for that matter.  Should Corporate America, Celebrities, or anyone with any level of success not be allowed to give and help out a cause just because they own nice things? If anyone gives to the latest "Green Cause" because it's the right thing to do, but owns a million-dollar home and drives a BMW, does it make his or her effort in that cause any less important? Because a Celebrity or some successful Corporate CEO doesn't run a non-profit, does that make him or her exempt from still doing the right thing under a profitable organization? It seems like the world thinks that because you’re a church, a charity, a non-profit, that you must live at a poverty level yourself.


America Red Cross is the worlds largest charity organization with assets over 3.6 billion this year. Their Chief Executive Officer, Jack McGuire was compensated $416,010, but do we question his life-style? Oh, that's right he's not a Pastor.


The point is this. There is no doubt charity organization operate on a very fine line. I would be more concerned about what Pastor Bayless does with the churches money then worrying about what compensation he earns for his position or the car he drives and what house he owns. (Side note: the homes in California have increase tremendously in the past 5 years. Anyone who bought a home at 600,000 would easily be worth 1.2 million in some areas.) That's beside the point. Pastor Bayless is doing the right thing and making a difference in the lives of many people. Not because he has to be right with answers, but because he has the answer and that answer is Jesus. He also cares to see the lives of the hurting and lost have salvation through Jesus. You can't do much on a dollar now a day. So there is big money making big things happen for the Kingdom. Pastor Bayless operates under great integrity. There are few now a day that stand up for what is right. You can count on Pastor Bayless to stand on truth and doing the right thing, with or without the nice stuff.

I have been going to Cottonwood for 15 years. I have never heard a bad sermon from Pastor Bayless in all those years.  The guy isn't perfect, and he will tell you that, and that is what makes him a real person who is a real Christian. It is annoying when you see people with the pharisee spirit passing judgement without having all the facts.  Bayless drives a Chevy Tohoe and not a Lexus, yes he lives in a nice home, but it is a nice home in a nice area, not a mansion in Beverly Hills. The church started in a home and now has over 5000 members who have to crowd their way into a 730 seat church.  So the membership has raised funds to built a bigger facility to worship in and minister from, is this an evil thing?  Pastor Bayless has a staff of over 80 people to help run the church of over 5000 members. In the secular world this would be no small business he is responsible for. The TV ministry has always been a outreach of Cottonwood Christian Center and the members who give tithe here are the ones supporting that outreach. the focus of the TV program has always been for outreach and not for gaining funds. There are those out there that don't do the right thing, through the church or through other non-profits.  But you can tell a tree by its fruit.  The guy is a man of integrity, if you knew him you would know that.  The church has had continued growth and people's lives have been changed for the better. As the word says in 1 Timothy 3, Bayless manages his family well and his own life well. God's word says that when we do that we will be blessed. Be careful when hunting down God's appointed and annointed... you don't want to hear Jesus say "depart from me I never knew you." 

He was a guest at the chuch I attended tonite and he was amazing he is so full of spirit and love and speaks so deeply yet with an easy understanding. Thanks for a great night God bless

I think he relates well and shares the gospel effectively.

Jesus is Real and Living and Pastor Bayless is just a humble servant who has been called by GOD to make His Son's name known to all the Nations. Pastor Bayless always has a clear Bible based message that shows people how to have an Authentic relationship w/JESUS and their is nothing false in that.

One star Prosperity Gospel Preacher. I have yet to see in my somewhat long lifetime a Prosperity preacher move out of there multi-million dollar home and sell the Mercedes, Jag, Rolls Royce, and live in a normal size/price home like the congregation lives in and buy a Ford.

Liked him untill he desired to go meg-institution, with building projects et al.  Will you partner with me to build the institution of my dreams and have so many admire me and I will be ble$$ed with your hard earned money and live a life of ea$e!

I have followed Bayless Conley's ministry, from Australia, for over 10 years. I have heard him speak at Hillsong Conferences and have seen him on TV here in Australia - and I have always been impressed at the man's sincerity, his passion for God, and his Biblical understanding. May God really bless His ministry at Cottonwood.

Pastor Bayless Conley preaches it the way that it is. Very enouraging and inspiring. God bless you, Pastor.

This is a fantastic program that is honest and easy to listen to. To those who are negative towards Bayless i have this to say: We have just finished a national conference at our church in Australia with Bayless as the guest speaker and he is one of the most humble, kind and Christ serving people i have met. We payed him NOTHING to come, and he asked for nothing. The hotel he sayed in was nice, but not luxurious by any standard. He introduced himself to myself and my friends after the first session and he is totally honest, transparent guy. I have more respect for him than other 'renowned' preachers who have come to the city, charged a fortune, and booked the entire top floor of hotels for them and their entourage!

For you, (FALSEprophetBAYLESS) and others who say Pastor Bayless claims to have all the answers. I think you are not paying attention. He does not claim to have all the answers. He preaches that The Bible has all the answers and he is merely teaching us how to find those answers for ourselves, just like he does. He is a wonderful man of God. As for his home and boat slip and whatever other things you feel are over endulging, remember that God blesses those who serve Him selflessly and do the work He has called them to do. This man works harder than you can imagine. He delivers 7 sermons every Saturday and Sunday at Cottonwood. He travels and is guest speaker all over the world. Check out all the wonderful Ministries and Outreaches currently going on at and through cottonwood Christian Center. I have learned more since I've been going to Cottonwood than I have learned from all other Churches I've gone to, put together. I got sucked into a cult a few years back and believe it or not I did learn a lot there. God sent me there for a reason. One of the most important things God gave me out of that experience was the wisdom to discern false leadership. Bayless is not a false witness.

Sometimes Pastors put financial wealth before the interests of what Jesus would do. We have found this out too many times in the past with other Television Evangelists.If indeed Bayless Conley has an expensive mansion,on the waters of Huntington Harbor,then Pastor Bayless needs to repent and forgo the Matierialism for the needs of other needy people.But this would betypical of Tele-evangelists

Honestly, i don't care what other people think about him, and i'm sure he doesn't either. He is an amazing man of God who has done so much for the church. Recently, the cottonwood youth group (Threesixtyfive student ministries) which i'm a part of, in two weeks, raised almost 30,000 dollars for the new building.. and that's only 300 or so kids between the ages of 10-18. There's proof that we have rallied behind something, not pastor bayless, not our leadership, but behind our mission, bringing a living Jesus to a dying world.

hey "FalseProphetBayless", i'm not sure how you can go around passing judgement on others without even knowing any facts. I know Pastor Bayless personally and he is a good humble person. In the bible it says to test these spirits and any one that doesn't recognize Jesus as the son of God is false, of course i was paraphrasing there. Now i could say that you are a false prophet, but i would have nothing to back that up, you have absolutely nothing to back up your argument so please don't trash a good person because you're on some sort of quest to sound knowledgable. Please don't make such accusations.

Jesus is Coming Soon Yes,But Be Wary of anyone claiming to have the answers,As Bayless Conley tells everyone , through his television show. I honestly believe Bayless Conley is A False Prophet. He preaches the "Name it and Claim it, Faith Message, THE SAME THAT IS TAUGHT BY "Kenneth Hagin" It is WRITTEN in 2 Peter 2:2 "Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.IN THEIR GREED THESE TEACHERS WILL EXPLOIT YOU WITH STORIES THEY HAVE MADE UP. It is WRITTEN IN 2 Peter 2:18 " FOR THEY MOUTH EMPTY, "BOASTFUL" WORDS AND,BY APPEALING TO THE LUSTFUL DESIRES SINFUL HUMAN NATURE,THEY ENTICE PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST ESCAPING FROM THOSE WHO LIVE IN "ERROR" THIS IS pastor Bayless Conley's Behavior and Conduct! DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PREACHER, IN THE LAST DAYS THERE WILL BE FALSE PROPHETS AND THIS PASTOR IS ONE OF THEM "TELL US ALL PASTOR BAYLESS AND "PASTOR JANET" CONLEY WHY YOU HAVE A $4.5 TO $ 5 million dollar house on Huntington Harbor, Gilbert Island Drive????? Why do you need such an expensive and expansive mansion on the water ,with a boat slip. Could it be that you need to spend your millions on something.IS THIS GODLY LIVING OR GREEDY LIVING???? YOUR ACTIONS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.ITS TIME TO REPENT PASTORS BAYLESS AND Janet Conley, or should We say "CON-MEN" DONT BE FOOLED THE ONLY ONE WITH THE ANSWERS IS JESUS CHRIST

Jesus IS comming SOON! Be Ready!

yeah the dude rocks for sure!! it sais here to place a comment,...but i got none!!

A wonderful man, a down to earth preacher who is eay to listen to,and preaches the gospel I rate him above all the other TV preachers. Keep at it Conley David Morgan

We can all sit here and post our opinions on what kind of a man Pastor Bayless is,but for what. The real truth is God is working in this man and he shares the word of God to all who is willing to listen. He wears his heart on his sleeve and what you see is what you get. We need to fix our eyes on the word and believe that our Lord and Savior will guide us through any doubts that this world may put into our heads. Bayless teaches on having a real life relationship with our Creator

He's Good, He stays with what the bible says.

Boring, Boring Boring All he wants is your MONEY!!!!!

Another of the Word of Faith gurus just waiting for you to speak things into existence.

There may be those who enjoy listening to Bayless Conley,but I do not.When He speaks into the camera and says,God really has you watching for a reason. It just makes me want to throw up.I regard him as being very phony.He just wants to be like Dr. Robert Schuller, or Dr.Fred Price, or Dr. Charles Stanley or even Benny Hinn.There is no where on his web site that states where he received his theological trainig.And certainly he does not have adoctorate. Maybe he's trying to hide something? Remember Jim and Tammy Baker? They turned out to be pretty phony too. And they used all that money to buy themselves nice, fancy houses.Just something to ponder.Good Luck Bayless, but I wont be sending you any money soon

This pastor claims to have all the answers.When you watch him its always about bayless.I have watched many Pastors on television and he is the ONLY ONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A BEST SELLING BOOK.Anyone with the money can buy air time on television.So basickly his program entitled answers with Bayless,is an INFO-MERCIAL.AND I DONT BUY IT pastor blameless.Your ministry is centered on bayless being on tv. It is centered on bayless having all the answers.Bayless is only interested in the monetary, NOT the MINISTRY.How do I know these things.Because I knew bayless,being a very active member in his church.I go to a church now that has 15-20 exmembers of Cottonwood.And we all left because of the church being centered on bayless conley,and not Jesus Christ.bayless recently changed his web site because of the arrogence of someone claming to have all wisdom and all answers.In The Last Days,there will be teachers professing to have the signs and lying wonders.It fits pastor care-less to a tee.

I began going to Cottonwood Cahristian Center when I was barely saved. There were only around 200 members. I was baptised in Pastor Conley's parents pool. When I moved to Oklahoma, the church grew to approx 2000. I only have great memories, wonderful messages I still reflect on and would recommend this church to any one needing a church that cares.

I visited Cottonwood last August and was introduced to Pastor Bayless. I actually SAW Jesus in his eyes. I heard a man who is a true Sheperd that has been annointed to feed the Lords flock. Pastor Bayless is one of the few real Sheperds who genuinely cares and loves people like Jesus did. His words penetrate the heart because only God can do that in a willing person who is submitted to the Lord 100%. The Holy Spirit in me confirms all this when I heard for myself and looked into his eyes last year. Ironically, after a year of listening to him on the internet the Lord has made it known to me that I will attend the school of ministry at Cottonwood. Thank you Pastor Bayless for your love and humility in serving others in the love of the Father! You are in my prayers always.

This guy's pretty good. Many say he's an Osteen copy-cat, but the difference is this guy is to the point and has a realistic (not optimistic view of things). He tells you to take action, not to sit there and think the world is your oyster. Anyone who tells it like it is deserves a 5 in my book.

Bayless has good points but he is a man who appearance is important to. He doesn't deal with those not on his staff whether it looks bad or they need help. His staff he is strict for appearance sakes. This is a negative account but needed for he wouldn't listen if I told him. I feel his gentleness is a front for I sat 10 feet from him in church for two years and never seen a hand of help of any kind and he knew my situation. He himself self said his responsibility stops at giving the word, separating him from a conscience to the people to get involved in anyway. This he said from the pulpit. Bayless I feel his career is building a church as large as posable instead of from the heart build theBody while the benefit is to who.

He's Real He Rocks!

Pastor Bayles - We're all on a journey as we are in Christ so as Jesus said, and I shall lose none of whom the Father has given me. Pray one for another. Gal 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. James 5:16 pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Truly a man of God & of integrity. Sound bible teaching, down to earth, the way more Pastor ought to be. :-)

He may be on T.V. but that is only a part of his ministry. His passion is to Bring a Living Jesus to a Dying World. He will do this through music, drama, dance and any other means and television just so happens to be a very affective tool. If you were to attend his church, Cottonwood Christian Center in Los Alamitos, CA, you would most likely find him peeking in the kitchen or the nusery to say hello to the volunteers before service or sneaking in a conversation with a first time visitor. He is humble, integral and a man of excellence. We love you Pastor B.!!! Thank you for all your hard work

I enjoy his telecast and Cottonwood Christian Center. Pastor B is the grestest.

Shares the Gospel in a simple, easy to understand manner that makes the teaching relevent to everyday living.

He is an awesome man of God, who wants everyone to have the best relationship with God that they can.

Bible based teaching, humble and down to earth.

Bayless Conley shares the Word of God in a simple and easy to understand style. He seems to be really down to earth and I feel as if he truly speaks from his heart. I have been ministered to greatly by his teachings.
