I have thought long and hard about whether I should leave a review, but after talking it over and…read morepraying about it with some past congregation attendees, and realizing that some had similar concerns, I thought you all had the right to know.
First, let me start by saying; we really thought we had found "our church home" we attended this church for the past few months and decided to hold off on attending the new members classes, which I am thankful we did. In the beginning, we really enjoyed the worship service and the sermons by Pastor Mackey, and we looked forward to Sunday service. I remember vividly during one of his Sunday sermons, he clearly said that his church was neither a Democratic or Republican party, rather it was a house God and that all ethnicities are welcomed, we were ecstatic to hear this, who wouldn't right? Unfortunately, as time went on, we noticed that the sermons started integrating political jabbing, which is very displeasing. Now, with this being said, it shouldn't matter what party you serve (that's irrelevant) we are here to worship in song, hear the wonderful word of God, feel the Holy Spirit around us to help ease the turmoil and heaviness that we deal with on a daily basis, to help us get through another work week, not to listen to more negativity at church! It should never be a political jab because in doing so, you are continuing the cycle of hate and division in a world that's clearly in chaos! I believe we need to uplift our leaders (whether you like them or not) in prayers asking God to grant them the wisdom and discernment in their roles of leadership. May God guide them to lead this nation with integrity, compassion, help them to navigate through difficult decisions that impact our nation because that's what Jesus would want us to do!
Secondly, the final straw for us was during Pastor Mackey's sermon 9/14/25 when he spoke ill of Charlie Kirk, making him sound like a racist (which he is far from it) I recommend that you listen to Alveda King, Martin Luther King Jr, Niece who spoke eloquently and Christian like. Also, maybe research more into Charlie Kirk's debates (you may not agree with it all, but that's ok) Charlie lead many people to seek Jesus Christ first and foremost, and you have the audacity to ignore this wonderful thing he did? Even now, people are being saved, going to church, opening the Bible for the first time, and you have the audacity to speak ill of him? Unbelievable!! However, to speak ill of him shortly after his assassination was not very becoming as a Christian, let alone the leader and Pastor of the church. This was extremely distasteful, disappointing and disheartening to say the least. Not to mention the two men behind you smirking with joy as you unleashed ill spoken words of the recently deceased, shame on you and them! (maybe go back and view the tape) and if you feel this is acceptable behavior within a church, well, this is a church we want no part of and we will continue to pray for you! As you know, we have decided to seek worship elsewhere as God knows exactly where he needs us to lead us, along with our friends who are also prior attendees. FYI: for the google readers, just know that as soon as my review goes up, I guarantee that 4-5 more positive reviews by staff members will follow in order to keep their ratings. In closing, have a blessed day and may God's face shine upon you
