On Friday, July 18, my son, Service dog, and myself came to the church to attend the services of my…read morefriend of 50 years, Mr. Edward Hood.   Upon entry to the church, a Deacon told me that they don't allow dogs in the sanctuary. I told him that she was my service animal and then I showed him credentials and then he allowed me to enter.   I took a seat in the sanctuary, and shortly after you, Rev. Owen's, interrupted the service to out me in front of the whole congregation, all of my fellow Saints, friends and the family of Mr. Hood.   Saying "The lady with the dog, you have to leave, we do not allow dogs in our sanctuary".   I was told to leave the sanctuary and go sit in the hallway.   In my 66 years of life, this was the most embarrassing, humiliating hurtful and discriminative act of my life, and for it to happen in Church, the house of the Lord, a place of love.   I hold my head down in shame for the ignorance of people who don't try to understand one another and their disabilities or life 's challenges.   Rev. Owens, trusting those who are on duty, your deacons and ushers that were at the entrance of the sanctuary, this never would have happened.   This absolutely could have been handled with decency and respect by asking your deacon or usher to confront me in private.   This episode has caused me a tremendous set back with my mental and physical health.   And a suggestion to you, moving forward being a man of God, approach situations diplomatically with love all disabilities are not visible.  Trust who you have put in charge at the door.   My service dog Zena has been trained, well-groomed and cleaner than some people.  I have invested in her so she can help me during times like Friday, July 18.   My thoughts and prayers will be with you to become more compassionate in situations like this.

I felt extremely discriminated against for not even being told "sorry I don't speak Spanish." Or "let me get someone that can help you." I was born a U.S. citizen and English is my only language. Hypothetically speaking, if I worked at a church in Mexico and I responded, "you don't speak English?" Then I clicked, that is completely NOT OKAY. I hope this gets escalated to the top because this type of behavior is not okay especially at a church.

Please continue to look for another church and don't waste your time here. There are simply no words to express what I experienced.

This man of God is so annointed and the most amazing teacher! I never gone through my sermon notes so much as I do his. Needless to say, after that first night, I found his church and that is going to be my new church home. The people are so warm. Bishop Withers, who is in his thirties, is the Senior Pastor, and his mother, yes his mother, is the co-pastor. I can't even tell you how blessed you will be here. It is a non-denominational Christian church. God will show up and show out! You will not be disappointed!!!

False teachings, people abusing power, not really a church but a fraternity and sorority for…read moreupcoming artists to become famous. I was told to leave the premises for speaking on spiritual abuse that happened during Bible Study with Aquyla Walker back in June of 2024. I did not mention the name of the church or the elder and I tried for 5 months to get an appointment with the pastor and was pushed to the side and dismissed. Others complained about her and if they allow spiritual abuse, be warned. I'm a disabled veteran new to Los Angeles and this was supposed to be my community. She claims I'm bullying her which is deflection. The elder's behavior exhibited bullying traits, specifically: 1. Interruption and shutdown: Cutting Me off, not letting me finish speaking. 2. Gaslighting: Questioning my perception, implying my experiences might not be real. 3. Deflection: Shifting focus from my shared experience to lecturing me 4. Emotional manipulation: Shaming Me for trying to speak, making me feel guilty 5. Disregard for boundaries: lgnoring my nonverbal cues (trying to open my mouth) 6. Condescension: Talking down to me, assuming I didn't understand. I was there since January and loved it, I got baptized there and considered it a family church home. I clearly don't fit their criteria of being a member though and did what I was supposed to do and go through leadership. Be advised. Edit: A year and some change later, Michael Fisher leaked my private information and many church members called me December 14th, 2025 asking about someone else and demanding my address long after I was kicked out of this cult. Avoid at all costs. It is dangerous. I overheard Michael yelling he doesn't want to be a pastor anyways and it shows. It is a popularity contest for upcoming artists to become famous rather than praising God. False teachers, false prosperity gospel.

Tamarind Ave SDA church has a beautiful sanctuary with stained glass windows and plenty of seating. Parking is limited for a mega-church like the CORLA. However, I found parking at a local mall within a four-minute walking distance. The sound system is good, but it could use high-intensity LED screens. The men's restroom is clean, bright, and remodeled. And it has warm water to wash our hands. In my opinion, it's a great temporary resting spot for the CORLA.
