Father and son walk. Absolutely disgusting. "A pastor at Westlake's Church on the Rise resolved his case of allegedly sexually molesting a girl after reaching a plea agreement. Paul Endrei, 56, of Avon, pleaded guilty to endangering children and authorities dismissed charges of sexual battery and gross sexual imposition, according to Jack Bradley, Endrei's attorney. Endrei will not have to register as a sex offender, Bradley said. Charges against Endrei's son, Jordan, were dismissed as part of the plea agreement." http://www.morningjournal.com/article/MJ/20161017/NEWS/161019516 read more

Church On The Rise is an amazing church, where you can feel The Holy Spirit flow abundantly. An absolutely inspirational worship is always followed by Pastor Jordan and Pastor Patti preaching a great word, making the Bible relevant to people's everyday lives. Moreover, my kids love going to church! I don't know of too many churches where kids ask their parents if they can go to church on Sunday. I strongly recommend Church On The Rise to any family or individual trying to grow in their spiritual walk with Jesus! read more

This church changed its name, it used to be named Church on the Rise but had to change its name because it's lead pastor was arrested for molesting his 14-year-old daughter. Paul Endrei then pled guilty to corruption of a minor and had to change the name of the church because it was hurting his coffers. They also teach a false prosperity gospel https://www.cleveland19.com/story/33407498/paul-endrei-westlake-church-on-the-rise-guilty-plea read more

Church on the rise is a church for the whole family. My wife, and daughter have been attending there for 9 years. The pastors have been there for us through a lot. Dr. Paul officiated my wife's mom and my mom's going home services. When I was ill and in the hospital they were there for me. They've prayed for us, given us advice, and guidance. It is a great place for someone who is new to the faith and looking for a new church home. read more
