This church is very diverse and extremely involved with the community & children that attend the church. They also do a lot of missionary work worldwilde. I was married at this church on 10/13/12 & loved everything about my wedding. The Pastor sister Janet was very helpful with the planning and answered all my calls and emails in a timely manner even though I probably annoyed her lol.

This church has become a cult. This is one of the worst experiences I have had with a church. I…read moreattended this church for nearly 20 years and once considered it my spiritual home. Unfortunately, under the leadership of the new pastor, the church has changed dramatically. What is most troubling is that the focus no longer seems to be on following Jesus and His teachings, but rather on following and supporting the pastor. The culture has become increasingly centered around one individual and, in my experience, has begun to feel more like a cult of personality than a Christian community. After almost two decades of being part of this church, it is deeply disappointing to see what it has become. A church should encourage people to grow in their faith, ask questions, and follow Christ--not demand unquestioning loyalty to its pastor.

Long-time member. There are no complaints on what all other positive reviews have said here and…read moreagree. A few areas to improve on though: the lead pastors have for years been ultra transparent about their church and personal lives on the pulpit. So we as their congregation have followed along and supported where we could in their times of need. However, in saying so, their times of need on funding the church and also their lifestyles have been fairly frequent and often. Then when things are going well, and they are sharing about traveling the world on mission or learning trips and going to exclusive sporting events or being invited to experiences that we as a congregation can only listen on and not experience ourselves... the church leadership can seem well, self-serving. Polish the weekly sermons to where only relevant messages of salvation and deliverance and direction are shared. The over share on their family finances, the houses they've lost and bought, the trips and travel and amenities they enjoy after asking their congregation to tithe deeply and frequently they should DEFINITELY edit out. As what comes through feels like we're funding a lifestyle and not a house of the Lord. This review's intention is built entirely on giving the truth in a loving manner to the pastors. Please fix this so you can continue to grow in a healthy way and not lose parishioners who are tired of the asking and the complaining from the front of the church.
