More of a cult than a church in my opinion. I would not recommend this place to anyone. A very…read morefervent member of the church and I were dating to be married, he baptised me in this church, and then unceremoniously dumped me over the phone. He said jesus told him we were not meant to be together. What a convenient message and great timing since he had promised to take care of me through a scheduled operation the very next day!
A few weeks later, another member called to ask me how I was doing to check up on me "post baptism" and I said well not great; I asked to be placed in a small group and they proceeded to shun me, no communication or answers to my emails and texts. I did receive one more call from a man telling me when I could attend church, since the person who I was dating attended at xyz time and abc time, then I should go exactly at "def" time. I said Wow so you are calling me post-baptism to dictate to me when I should attend? Do you have any other questions or comments for me, Mister post baptism helper person? No, he did not. I'm one of the first people baptised in their new location at Washington Park, in the flowered outfit. Pretty swanky location for a non profit. If you visit the website, the first place to click is "donate". Also, they mention simple church which good luck if you get a response from anyone for that; it did not ever work for me.
As others have mentioned, this is not a thinking person's place to congregate. I have two undergraduate degrees, a master's degree, and a professional license. The singing and shiny happy people are welcoming at the onset, but if you dare speak up, question their practices, or have differing opinions, then you just might be an outcast and pushed away, as I have been.
