Well, I could not recommend this church to anyone. I do agree that when you first start going you will be greeted by friendly people, but this will not last. If you only care about meeting people, then go to a roller rink. If you want a place to worship the Lord and praise Him and to hear His Word preached, then this is not the place. There may be a church in that building, but the leadership does not put the Word of God first. They run that place like a business. Money is there primary concern. I suppose it all depends on what you are looking for.
I had gone there for years. And my experience showed me that your church leadership only cares about money. And no, I did not get your church confused with another one. I know very well that it is yours. Regardless of what you wish your church to be; it is not that. For example, your services have dwindled in quality and size over the years due to not putting much money back into the church services. You used to have a food pantry there and it got removed. I heard stories regarding it such as: "We removed it because no one who used it went to church there". Well the Bible doesn't say to only help people who go to your church. And that it was removed because no one would volunteer to work the food pantry. Well that can't be true. I would have volunteered to work the food pantry. Over the years I have noticed that you do not consistently have the same preacher preaching. Many times you will have under trained people preaching, the only reason they are allowed to preach is because they give a lot of money to the church. And they will end their prayers without using the name of Jesus. They use the popular[In your precious name we pray]. Whose name? Lucifers?
And they have these so called: "retreats" that cost outrageous amounts of money. Where do you think that money goes huh? Ask them for their tax returns and an itemized list of all their expenses and a list of the salaries of all their pastors.
There is quite a bit of: "compromising on the Word of God" going on there.
As soon as a person becomes keen to this fact, the church leaders will conjure up a reason to kick them out. They did not kick me out, but I left because I realized the place was not abiding in the Word of God.
BTW, The place is still going downhill. The sign outside their church has been removed. The no longer have an evening service. And most of the people I know who went there, no longer go there. And the guy right below me, named Steve. W. He actually works there. So he is Biased. read more
