    Always very welcoming. I am not personally a member, but I live in the area and have attended…read morenumerous events they hold for the community. Initially I was a little nervous because of the negative review listed, but have not encountered any of those issues and wanted others to give it a chance!

    Unbiblical and immature leadership. Worship music that's what the worship leader wants to do…read morewithout being interested in the congregation's input. No real theological growth in sermons or "discipleship" groups (Sunday School classes) that meet before the service. Community is friendly enough, but there isn't really maturity or willingness to address anything that should be addressed, no attention to things that should be given attention. For all their talk of "unity", they seem to only have unity in that no one dares dissent or stand out due to fear of being called divisive. Real unity is different voices and personalities being able to work together with a shared foundation in Scripture and a shared goal of Christ. These guys...they're a good ol' boys club who think unity means "chemistry" with them and that you "Just listen and learn" instead of try to engage or get anything done. Leadership will tell you about how to do leadership, while themselves failing to do basic things like understand the person they're speaking to, be willing to "listen and learn" from people, etc. How can you place yourself under leadership that gives you no reason to have confidence in them? They "know how to do ministry"...except when they obviously don't. They think ministry is running a business, and they think unity is not upsetting the deacons. Hah. Deacons. If the deacons were fit for leadership, there wouldn't be any, since deacons are servants in the church, not leaders, and the deacons here are not qualified to be leaders (elders/pastors). Typical bureaucratic structure. Head deacon said that it takes 10 years for any organization to do a significant change, so it sounds like they won't be expecting any real change for 10 years. So the superficial teaching, the lackluster worship, the unbiblical and unqualified leadership, the constitution that the church doesn't actually hold to when it isn't convenient to...that'll all be around for a decade, I guess. Disappointing. A squandered opportunity. A church full of people who know more and are more willing to be guided and challenged than just about any church I've been to, but the leadership has so badly mismanaged such a wonderful resource. To paraphrase Frankly in 1776, "Never was such a valuable possession so stupidly and recklessly managed, than this entire congregation by the failed deaconate." At the end of the day, my advice is not to come here. You could certainly meet some people to grow your social circle, but worship, learning, growth, ability to function as a church, to contribute...not here. I would never invite people here if they were looking for those things. Just if they wanted a friendly place to sit in the pew and shut up every Sunday and get invited over for dinners every now and then. UPDATE: The leadership has doubled and tripled down on disobedience to Scripture and to their own constitution. The head deacon has lied directly to me several times now. One deacon's own wife admits her husband doesn't really know Scripture and comes to her with his questions. With the leadership in sin, and unqualified for the task according to any standard, what hope is there for restoration of this church? The unfortunate congregation is more faithful to their church than the leadership is to God's Word, and it is painful to see them abused in this way. And while leadership is willing to negatively review their own members with factually inaccurate statements and no Scripture to back them up, they are quite sensitive to negative reviews of their church on Yelp. I didn't even name names, though only out of graciousness, not moral obligation. These are the sorts of folks you don't want to be on the wrong side of -- they'll "love" you right out of town. Due to the persistent sin and disobedience of the leadership, I should leave one final comment: Since leadership is limited to men, it is a given that the men must be manly. Effeminate men are disqualified men, and are commanded by Scripture to "grow some". Men who lie, disobey Scripture, conspire in darkness and wait in ambush, circle the wagons to defend their cabal instead of being held accountable...such men are not men, but are limp-wristed boys playing at church. They are more fit for tutus than for the armor of war, and their followers will likewise be untrained for battle. The enemy must be ecstatic. A concluding thought from A. W. Pink: "My earnest advice is for you to have little or nothing to do with the people of the religious world today. They cannot help you spiritually, and where they help not they are bound to hinder!" UPDATE AGAIN: After a year, I reached out to a number of the leaders of the church and repeated my belief that they behaved "contrary to love, wisdom, Scripture, and the constitution. Since I still have this against you, and since I still hope for reconciliation, it seemed like a good time to reach out again." Not one of them has given me the decency of any response at all. Children.
