Pastor Matt was so bold to take the church on a harmful, meandering road where he intermixed politics and religion, like how a lot of evangelical churches are becoming. It started when he invited Kirk Cameron in April 2024. That was a big mistake, for people who have never stepped foot in a Christian church. Kirk Cameron gave a sermon about Guthrem and the Vikings, which was so difficult to sit through considering it was a dense history lesson about the Vikings and faith, that just got lost in the sauce. Kirk Cameron is a right wing evangelical that has a bias towards promoting extreme right wing propaganda. Fast forward to September 2024, Matt started a series, "Bible and the Ballot," and as educated and open-minded that I consider myself and my husband to be, we just couldn't sit through the series. Matt was quick to demonize anyone who didn't support Trump and used the bible to justify his one-sided political stances (VERY HARMFUL). I was deeply bothered but chose to ignore it, as my children loved going to their kids Sunday school class. The straw that broke the camel's back was in June 6, 2025, the weekend that the ICE raids took place in Paramount which caused a domino effect in creating protests by surrounding communities in fighting against all the inhumane actions by ICE and the CBP. The next day at church, I was hoping for Matt to give space for people in the congregation to feel seen, loved and accepted, but instead he completely missed a perfect opportunity to offer a special prayer for all those effected by the ICE raids. Again, I was disappointed and hurt by how he selects when to speak up for causes that align with his political views. The deepest insult was when Matt equated illegal immigration to getting a DUI. He mentioned that if he broke the law in getting a DUI, he needs to pay the price, the same way that people who immigrate illegally are held to the law. Are you kidding me?!!!!!!! My husband and I decided to leave the church altogether because as a person of color, and a daughter of an immigrant, I feel that attending a church that doesn't align with my core Christian values about loving foreigners, and those who are disenfranchised is unacceptable. I don't care what political party the person next to me in church aligns with, or the Pastor identifies with, but I will ALWAYS draw the line and when cultural, racial and social injustices are overlooked. Matt does nothing to bridge the hurt, pain and division. As a pastor, leading a church should be focused on preaching about how one can grow in their faith, and be encouraged to show love & kindness towards ALL regardless of country of origin. Keep politics and division out of church at all costs!

We encountered what we felt was inappropriate behavior of a sexual nature from another child in the children's ministry. I brought this specific issue to the attention of the church leadership. My email was cc'd and forwarded around but i only received a very generic and corporate-type, canned response from the children's ministry staff with zero resolution to the concern. While they acknowledged the matter and spoke about it via email, the issue remains unresolved from my perspective. I did not receive adequate reassurance that the situation would be handled with the necessary level of accountability or that steps were being taken to ensure it wouldn't happen again. In fact, I was even accused of demanding personal and confidential information from the other family when all I asked for was that they are taking precautions for it to not happen again. I was not at all asking for personal information whatsoever. I felt ignored and accused. As a member of this community, I felt it was important to share that I did not feel supported or heard when addressing a serious safety and boundary concern. I would advise others to be aware of how leadership handles these types of internal grievances.
