RUN IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION! This is NO longer a church. This is now a CORPORATION, single-handedly run by a man named Bill Saccone behind the scenes. Everything that glitters is not gold, and this is an organization that glitters, looks great on the outside, but it's all fluff, NO MEAT. It hasn't always been like this. I believe that the planters of this church were called and chosen by God, but they are all gone, and this once church, now business, has lost its way.
Sermons are more like TED TALKS. Members of the Elder Board are CULT LEADERS. With this church what you see is NOT what you get. If you are not spiritually inclined, you won't understand what I'm saying, but anyone who has spiritual perception will be able to sniff out what I'm saying just from one visit.
If you're looking to grow, this is NOT the church for you. This is more like a club where people gather on Sunday mornings. Oh! and not just any club, it's an elite club of white middle/upper class folks with a sprinkling of those who are white lower class who mostly go unseen and unheard along with those with disabilities, minorities, anyone over 45, those who don't have children, children over the age of 12, etc. This church prides itself on appealing to young families with children who are neurotypical. If your children have any learning disabilities or mental health issues RUN!. I'd say if you have children at all and you want them to learn about Jesus, run!, because, the children's curriculum is trash. You can be rest assured that your children won't learn memory verses, they won't learn all those wonderful bible stories you grew up with, instead, they'll learn how to be good citizens and play lots of games.
Oh and if you believe in the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, the move of the Spirit, don't even think about attending. Their tag line is that they "follow Jesus for the renewal of all things." Sounds like what people say when they don't know what they believe.
The board members are members of the occult, and most people there probably don't even know what that is, and will easily pass this off as some crazy person who has an axe to grind. It's not. This is an attempt to save souls. The church belongs to God, not man, and the blind simply cannot lead the blind. That's fact, not opinion.
The Pastor is nothing but a puppet, and a figure-head who is a wolf in sheep's clothing and who has MANY skeletons in his closet but you would never know. But, isn't that the point? If you saw a wolf you would run, not so much with a sheep. In fact I think this image applies to the entire organization. This place of business is a wolf in sheep's clothing.They have great marketing and optics to lure you in, but beneath all of that is a vicious wolf that will keep you bound. You'll get just enough milk to make you feel like you're a "good Christian," but babies outgrow milk at some point and need solid food. You'll never get that here.
Why do I say that? Because this is not a church, but a business. The pastor doesn't answer to God, He answers to "the board," specifically, Bill Saccone, who is running this organization to the ground one pillar at a time. The church is supposedly "elder protected, staff led, and volunteer driven." Sounds good right? Except what happens when the very people supposedly "protecting" the church are the very people this place needs protection from? They have no clue who these "elders" really are, I mean spiritually (wolves in sheep's clothing, remember you can't see what I'm saying by looking on the outside). The board are termites slowly eating away at the foundations carefully laid by the founders. When this place collapses (and it will), they won't see it coming. Remember termites work behind the scenes, slowly, and silently causing structural damage that is not apparent. You have to look behind the veil!
Remember, just because it has the word "church" in its name doesn't mean it actually is a church. Members are clueless at the darkness in this place. You've been warned. RUN! Matthew 24:24 read more
