No evidence of satisfying the notability guidelines. (Sources are one news item about an individual incident, one mention in a book, and a lot of links to the church's own website and Ffacebook page.) The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:42, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non notable organisation. Sources are self-published and have no depth. Ajf773 (talk) 19:53, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep A notable church. It brought Steven Curtis Chapman to Manila (fundraiser for orphans) (STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN RETURNS TO MANILA, The Manila Times; Manila [Manila]20 June 2007 ;  Also this article: (Rise of Filipino fundamentalism triggers new religious tug-of- war, Johnson, Bryan. The Globe and Mail; Toronto, Ont. [Toronto, Ont]11 May 1989: A.1. ) which I have just added to the aritcle.   Note also that the Church was established by Lester Sumrall. I did not clean the article up, it's got lots of self-sourced PROMO. E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:35, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep -- Not a good article and too much reliance on non-RS, but a church with 15000 members ought to be notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:48, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article could use a lot of cleanup, but at the very least the church is clearly notable: it's been covered by news media (both locally and abroad). As an example, here's a news item from ABS-CBN News. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 06:12, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Seraphim System  ( talk ) 11:22, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I've added additional cites but I think this needs a lot of cleanup -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:50, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
