As a person of color, especially a woman of color I am warning you to NEVER. go to this church.
I rarely ever leave 1 star reviews especially for places of worship. Going to this church originally felt like it was going to be a lovely experience and honestly the sermon, the worship, the congregation was very nice to experience. It was almost a fantastic evening of worship until I met the senior pastor of the church. While the sermon and worship were initially enjoyable, my interaction with the senior pastor, Tony McVickers, was extremely negative.
Tony McVickers is a vile human who only allows his words to be said and thinks everything he says is law and if you happen to have any different views of anything don't expect to get a word in because he will talk over you, his wife and anyone around to make it sound as if his 40? 70? years of life has perfected his views.
After the service, Mr. McVickers, pulled me aside not only to belittle me to my face but as well to be openly raciest towards me and towards my partner of color as well. Not only did they go out of their way to make me feel unwelcome and unsafe but they harassed us both for having different beliefs then them. Even after I clearly expressed my discomfort after his disrespectful comments and told him in very clear terms that "I feel incredibly disrespected and I am leaving now" he tried to physically stop me from doing so and even went to hold back my partner physically from leaving as well.
Overall, my experience was far from the inclusive environment the church purports to offer, and I cannot recommend this church to others. read more
