The many times I have had to stop and stand at a newcomer's chair when prayer starts 😂. I just smile and then bow my head. Say amen at the end, nod again at the person and then head to the bathroom 😂😂.
I went to a predominately African American church for my friend Mary’s baptism. And it was the best experience ever. Everyone was so nice. And the music was awesome. I never felt so welcome in my life
I would like to go to one too. They seem more warm and welcoming and with lively music but Im a bit afraid to be looked at weird lol especially since sadly I don’t have anyone to go with either.
Bro you forgot, if the choir starts hitting them high notes, or soloist hits a roll, you gotta stand, wave a little, and continue standing for the rest of the song!
I will never forget the first time I went to a white church and the family that I went with sat in the front row. I was nervous as hell 😭. In my mind I was like, "I don't think we are supposed to be sitting up here. They are about to kick us to the back." When service started and nobody said anything to us, I thought maybe their daddy was a deacon or something 😂
I’m from the generation when the women wore slips under those dresses/skirts.. didn’t matter if the skirt was pitch black and made of Wool... lol! It was considered “improper” & “immodest” to be without 1, lol! Mine was always 2 sizes too big & had to be secured with safety pins...😬😅😂😂😂
I am a Pastor. Here is my rules. Worship as long as the Spirit leads. Keep sermons short, precise, and to the point. Use night services for Worship and teaching but remember that kids have school, and the cows need milking next day.
As the person who collects the money that would bother me because it would have it take to long especially when I have to collect for a second offering. The one thing I don't get is why some fold the money because I have to count it later
I had a Catholic uncle. No matter what was going on, as soon as his watch hit the 60 minute mark after mass started, he'd just get up and walk out of the service and go home. I like that!!!
He was an anomaly. My mom's family is Catholic, and if you ever got up and left during church, except for an absolute emergency, you'd be getting heck from my grandfather later. LoL
My dad is a musician so he always make me sit with the deaconess so he can keep an eye on me, and they always say "Honey do you want a mint?" Church mints are the BEST.
Not going to lie. I am white and Sundays the church across my street block can be heard of singing happy people and music in rhythm just outside. I imagine church must be a full house because that's loud.
I love father day Sunday. The man choir always sing Sweet Swing Low Sweet Chariot. And also the men in the church usually cook and the food is always so great on Father's Day Sunday😙

@@Mindsetolympics I did that one time at church and my mom was angry that I did that. She explained why I shouldn't follow other's doing that and it made sense. So I never did it again.
I went to a white church once and it was over literally 38 minutes after I arrived. I almost dropped to me knees in thanks to God and that preacher and all those white people in that church. I’d never seen a Sunday outside at 10:45 in my life. That was one of the happiest days of my life.
Well I just felt cheated when I went to a white church for the first time. 😕 Service was over in 45 minutes and I was like " _now_ what do I do for the rest of the day? I didn't make any plans!" >_< Wasted my day all the same
True story. We had a new preacher as a child. At the 4 hour mark folks started walking out. At 5 hr my Daddy caved and we left. Next time he preached he took off his watch and laced it on the altar. Feedback was received.
One time in 5th grade on a cold, February Sunday morning, my dad took my sister and I to a predominantly black church. The reason we went there instead of our normal church was because I had been at a sleepover the night before and by the time my dad came to pick me up it would be unrealistic to go to our church since we would be ridiculously late. So, back to the story, we arrived there and the place was absolutely MASSIVE. I mean there were these long rows filled with people so there was plenty of space. We were also the only white people in the whole church. And yea, they like to sing. A LOT. It was a pretty long service compared to my normal church's (which is 2 hrs). So just put that in to perspective. But basically the people were super nice and the message was deep and interesting but LONG and the music was awesome. Just wanted to share lol 😂
The days praise and worship took up the whole service had the same vibe as your teacher rolling in a tv cart at the beginning of class. My FAVORITE days in church 😂
I found these very interesting. I've gone to church almost every Sunday since I was born, but I've never been to a black church. I never realized how much of a difference there could be. Cool.
@@dawnmichelle4403 I'd invite you to my church if you were in Louisiana. I am a blonde white girl who wandered in one Sunday about 5 years ago. After the initial looks of surprise (awkwardness on my part), I sat down anyway. I felt so welcome and "loved on", I went back the next week and the week after that. I'll celebrate 6 years as a member this year. My favorite church I've ever been to!
I've never been to one as well. In fact, I've never been to an only English speaking church. I go to a Hispanic pentecostal church here in nyc, but I will say that black churches have the most best dressed older women and men lol. I love going to church on sunday and seeing the older women dressed up in their sunday dress and their hats.
We used to have 2 services. The 8am was always short because they had Sunday school at 9. But we went to Sunday school and the 10am service. They always started 10am late. 10am service usually went till 12:30-1pm. Then my mom would always talk to my aunts, uncles, cousins, and others church members so a lot of times we didn't leave until almost 2. It was usually a 5 hour day at church lol. But I go to a white majority church now and it's like 1h20 min absolute tops.
@@superduperjoi6800 you mean we might need another African American late night host because we had Arsenio Hall when he hosted his shows (one in the 1990s & one during 2013) but they got cancelled & then we had Chris Spencer as well as Sinbad when they hosted a short-lived Columbia TriStar Television late nite talk show entitled "Vibe" which ran from 1997 until 1998. But since then, we have NOT had another black person host something like that.
I absolutely approve this message! The only thing that has changed generationally is the video games one...now kids bring devices to church to stay quiet. Very happy we have a nursery for them to learn about God on their level.
I'll tell you what, I was nervous as all get out when my dad let me and my brother watch cartoons while getting ready for church. There was no way in the world I would ask my dad to do ANY Super NES or TV on Sunday morning. Only 3 times in my childhood did anything other than "get your mind right" happen before church (aside from my parents watching church before waking us up to go to church. lol)
When I was in Middle School my father was stationed in Germany, and I was always one to try to go to different churches. I was a Baptist, but I went to a Catholic service or two (hard on the knees), hung out in a Buddhist temple (hard on the nose) , even got bold enough to check out the Jehova's Witnesses and the Mormons (hard on the noggin). My Mom had apparently been talking to her friend and lunch buddy about my spiritual quest. The lady's name was Della. Sweetest lady I ever met in my life. I will say she tried to warn me that Episcopalians were a bit flamboyant and that the church service would last all day. I was thinking ok, business hours, right? Done by 5? lol I had to be there by 8 am. I had the devil scared out of me at about 10 am and was really happy when I could help put the little ones down for a nap just before lunch. Until I realized it was going to be 8 at night before we were done! There were two white folks there, me and some crazy old German woman who kept falling out and scaring the hell out me when she started speaking in tongues! I thought it was a medical issue, she was clearly having a stroke, but they said the Holy Spirit was on her. Well, the HOLY CRAP spirit was on me and I had to get out of there! I limped back home about dinner time and Mama just couldn't stop laughing at me. She loved saying she told me so!🤣
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
I've never been to a black church. I've been to a few mixed churches with black pastors. It sounds a lot like the white Pentecostal church I grew up with.
I remember when my aunt was acting like she had a demon in her *(she was goin crazy)* she kicked her whole leg up and her heels flew off her foot and hit my uncles head lmaoo, shit was funny.. that was when I was like 7 or 9
Kelli Sykalski right,like come prepared 😂 was once in the ushering team passing on the offering buckets some guy wanted me to put my hand in and give him change it was soooo awkward
Black people NEED that change. So when WE ask for our change, better ante up. As much as you think it's awkward is how bad it looks that a whole church can't give a 20 or 50 back. We'll talk shit all year about the church
@@agonleed3841 I kinda agree. Dont churches make enough as it is? If God wants the pastor to have a new private jet He'll just materialize it out of the blue, after all He IS God.
This is a very educational video as it mentions the trends & types of things that goes on in the African-American Church. I also know that they tend to take at least two or more hours each day of service which is usually held on a Sunday morning even though the Sabbath day is actually on a Saturday in lieu of a Sunday as what many might believe.
Being Catholic I know that I’ll be out in 45min sometimes even less if father kept the homily short….Father Sherlock was the best because from spring to late fall he’ll have the shortest mass….so he could hit the links (golf)early….
You're lucky! I went to an Assembly of God church for years and let me tell you, if the Spirit moved, service could last hours and hours. Sometimes praise and worship would last 90 mins alone. It got crazy.
I can see that. It would be appropriate if you just walk to the bathroom but after you quietly state or write to whoever took you to the church that you have to go there real bad. Raising one finger to excuse yourself so that you can head to the bathroom is NOT only embarrassing but it is also very humiliating!!!!!
That "poop in the church" rule is REAL because I went to a small church and the bathrooms were close to those back pews. So if you were unfortunate enough to have to sit in the back, you was gon be mad.
The only thing I can relate to is the finger in the air when leaving and that was in the little church I attended as a kid. I have never seen that as an adult. I must not be black because I have never been told to tap the offering plate.
Extra rule: just like if it's a guest pastor, you're more than welcome to leave if it's a church function like an Easter program or a play by the kids church
White, somewhat academically inclined preacher, filled in for an Urban Black Church on 1st Sundays (Communion Sunday) for a summer. Quite an interesting and positively memorable experience. Mutual respect and we got along well. But while I had the WORD, I did not have the show; and as polite and gracious as they were, I knew I was a fish out of water. Furthermore, I knew I could do nothing about it and it was best not to try.
If your church makes you feel compelled to give them money you are not in a church. The concept of churches in general is outdated and redundant considering making a show out of worshipping is narcissistic anyway. People are worshipping a completely different god than they think they are.
I visited a black church, and the strangest thing was the way they took up the offering. Each person holding an offering plate held it with one hand only, and kept their other hand behind their back, as if to say, "See, I'm not stealing any money out of the offering plate."
Rule number 15. Don't jump up and down full of Glee when the not-guilty verdict comes in for o.j. two people died a violent horrible death don't put your stamp of approval on it
I'd hate to go there and be sitting there and all the sudden have a case of diarrhea; such as it is with my neurological problems which are very unpredictable.
My black church service lasts 3 hours. We also have a 1 hour members/women's meeting after church. We still stay that long during this PANDENMIC ( good thing it's online). I move around after 2hrs and get back on. 🤣🤣
Drumson, I'm very sorry that your mother forces her religious beliefs onto you when she makes it that you go to church. My Mother just the same but we don't go to church as much as we used to anymore. We sort of understand & learn the word of God at home as she expects me to be very religious every single day. I'm NOT an atheist but I can understand the struggles that they face having to be forced to believe in something that they just wouldn't want to believe in.

Raising one finger to excuse yourself so that you can head to the bathroom is NOT only embarrassing but it is also very humiliating!!!!!
Lol this is so relatable I never knew why.
That "poop in the church" rule is REAL because I went to a small church and the bathrooms were close to those back pews. So if you were unfortunate enough to have to sit in the back, you was gon be mad.
The only thing I can relate to is the finger in the air when leaving and that was in the little church I attended as a kid. I have never seen that as an adult. I must not be black because I have never been told to tap the offering plate.
Extra rule: just like if it's a guest pastor, you're more than welcome to leave if it's a church function like an Easter program or a play by the kids church
White, somewhat academically inclined preacher, filled in for an Urban Black Church on 1st Sundays (Communion Sunday) for a summer. Quite an interesting and positively memorable experience. Mutual respect and we got along well. But while I had the WORD, I did not have the show; and as polite and gracious as they were, I knew I was a fish out of water. Furthermore, I knew I could do nothing about it and it was best not to try.
What is theism, but show business ?
You forgot the sheets 😆 If sister Mary Jenkins falls out you gotta grab a sheet and cover her up 🤭
I went to my Granpa church with my cousins and he said don’t fall asleep or it’s hell 3 and a half hrs in I look back and slump
Black churches get on my nerves with the 2hr praise tryna work up the crowd for mo $$$.
Unfortunately, some white churches are like that, too. Not many, thank God!
@@joswanell9672 I've not been to one white church like that lol
Tip-toeing out with the index finger pointing upwards, a classic.
Been in church my whole life and never heard of people doing that. 😮
If your church makes you feel compelled to give them money you are not in a church. The concept of churches in general is outdated and redundant considering making a show out of worshipping is narcissistic anyway. People are worshipping a completely different god than they think they are.
If your Pastor hasn't asked the congregation for $1000 a piece then you haven't been to a church!
IF U PLAN TO TAKE MOMEY OFF DA PLATE DONT LET DEACON WAYNE CATCH YOU
When I was a young man, I was able to speak as fast as you do. But, now, I am 62, so I have slowed down.
Very funny video.
I visited a black church, and the strangest thing was the way they took up the offering. Each person holding an offering plate held it with one hand only, and kept their other hand behind their back, as if to say, "See, I'm not stealing any money out of the offering plate."
The funny thing is these are all true 😂
Rule number 15. Don't jump up and down full of Glee when the not-guilty verdict comes in for o.j. two people died a violent horrible death don't put your stamp of approval on it
Omg I put a $20 n took a $10 out the offering plate. I was so embarrassed but I figured I switch it fast enough nobody would notice.
I'm telling!! JK!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Get your change before you get to church. Don't be dropping in a $20 bill and asking for $19.50 back
I like the no video games before church rule!
Man I swear I NEVER stay when the substitute pastor was there. Hell my momma ain’t even want to stay.
Straight to iHop
Unwritten rule:
1. You're required to sing in the choir at least once.
2. You have to shout with everyone else
Who else held their finger up before he even said it😂
Thanks God for the church with strict rules for that's how we grow
So funny, especially the first one!
What about when the preacher say I’m going to sit down or I’m not going to be here long then one person always gotta say take your time 😂 I
I'd hate to go there and be sitting there and all the sudden have a case of diarrhea; such as it is with my neurological problems which are very unpredictable.
2:13 I've had that happen multiple times, I didn't even realize the preacher didn't preach
Omg.. Yes the finger up lmbo as a southern black pastors granddaughter .. All of this.. Absolutely. Lol
Oh he missed and stand for all clergy visting and or preaching 😂😂
I’m white and as a kid that video games before church rule was a thing in our house as well
🧢
@@206EmeraldCity ok ?
Lawd not doodooin at church🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The No video games before church rule is especially true for me 😂
We went to a black church for 5 years, until we moved. Hahaha, and yep, you right!
Bless your heart. A lil cultural exposure goes a long way.
It seems to me that something was done during slavery, the black people would STOP doing
I'm white and now I feel ready to go to black church. Thanks, guy.
Make sure to eat a heavy breakfast before you go- you're gonna be in there for 3-4 hours🤣🤣 Just kidding- you might be in there for 2 hours minimum.🤣
Plz don’t we seen what Dylan roof did
@@206EmeraldCity What???
No it's not about slavery, I think it's just politeness to say forgive me for taking away your attachment
My mother is a church mother 😂😂😂
I go to a latino church in LA. We have youth pastors do black churches have those too just curious.
My church is Pentecostal is 1 hour and 30min 2hrs max and we have ONE SERVICE and it start at 10!!!
Never been to a predominantly black church but it sounds like it would be a good time every now and then 😃
Dang it's been so long since I've seen pre-beard kev🧔🏾
You can’t do nothing before church but sit there and not mess up your hair.
Lol my church must not be Black then 😂😂 we don’t have these rules
I kinda hate that people complain about being at church for a long time, God watched us 24/7 and y’all can’t give him more than 2 hours? Aight
My white church service last about 1 hr 5 minutes
That's the church I woukd go to. Any more than 1 hour and 30 minutes I am just leaving early.
My black church service lasts 3 hours. We also have a 1 hour members/women's meeting after church. We still stay that long during this PANDENMIC ( good thing it's online). I move around after 2hrs and get back on. 🤣🤣
The finger means excuse me
I’m a black atheist and my mom still forces me to go to church.
Drumson, I'm very sorry that your mother forces her religious beliefs onto you when she makes it that you go to church. My Mother just the same but we don't go to church as much as we used to anymore. We sort of understand & learn the word of God at home as she expects me to be very religious every single day. I'm NOT an atheist but I can understand the struggles that they face having to be forced to believe in something that they just wouldn't want to believe in.
I never wanna fell like a "BrOkE BoI" so I always put $30 to side Monday for the Sunday b4
