1 /5 Alexa Pena: My family and I attended church after looking online for a church. I was super excited when I learned of the different ministries as well as the church being “Bible based.”
I will say the praise and worship was the best I’ve heard. Though there were back up to the back to the back up singers, it was still amazing.
There is a child on these reviews for this church that states “people claiming this church is “money hungry” need to basically think before speaking.” Let me clarify, I understand all churches have a tithing message, it is common in the church and we must give with open hearts. HOWEVER, it is ANOTHER thing to have practically a 10-15 MINUTE preaching session about giving money. A man came on stage stating he was going to give $500 for himself and $500 for his wife to the church, it is clearly boasting as how much you give should not be a topic. This man talking for 10-15 minutes when speaking of tithing was speaking as if the pastor was the reason to tithe because of “how great and amazing he is,” rather than talking about the REAL reason we tithe. It was seeming more like idolization than for the Lord.
Furthermore into the service, the Pastor begins his message that last about 30 minutes, mind you services are 1.5 hours. The man wasted 30 minutes repeating himself about Gods grace whilst only sharing 2-3 Bible verses that had almost no correlation. It was more a friendly conversation between 2 friends rather than a message as there was no clear, MAIN message.
We ended up walking out of church during the message as both my husband and I had discernment to not stay and listen to a pointless message which seemed to focus more on personal stories than on the Lord. I guess it’s hard to find a church with a Biblical stand after going to Vintage church for a while.
Lastly, I also understand someone might not be too persuaded to listen to the “negative” reviews but when you have a healthy amount, you can see why one would be hesitant to want to go again. Definitely seems like one of those “woke” churches. Overall this church seems more involved and focused on an image for themselves rather than Gods image.
