Having been a member of a very similar church in the Detroit metro area, I was hoping to witness…read morethe same positive characteristics: freedom in Christ from man's traditions, simplicity of biblical truth, and a passionate love for God, His people and the lost. The "pastor" taught on the Lord's last supper with His apostles and stated that the disciples had no idea what Passover was supposed to be about. (Huh?) Then both he and the amazingly uneducated youth pastor continued to make incorrect references to basic old testament people and events. Its almost as if they'd never read their Bible. Suffice it to say, it was difficult to stop myself from screaming out and choking these idiots who claim to be teachers of God's truth. I have no idea why this congregation has become popular over the last twenty years. Perhaps it started well and became a cool trend or perhaps it's just another avenue for people to "hear what their itching ears want to hear" for they are merely "blind guides leading the blind." Perhaps when the told me (in writing) that if doctrine was important to me I should go somewhere else, they really meant, "If you actually know your Bible you won't be able to stomach our ignorance."

We would not want to be any other place on Sunday. It is a blessing to both of us. Our former church stopped feeding us. We searched high and wide for an improvement and found it here. Lockwood is a Bible church. Pastor Shayne is articulate, knowledgeable, and thorough in his presentation of the Word with the Lords help.The church has a wonderful and active youth group which draws on young people from around the County.

The talks are relevent and the I'll guarantee that there is no better worship music than what is played here. It's loud, and you can even bounce, jump, get out of your seat and even dance if you want. I've spent the last 6 years of my life here and even though I'm just an aging hipster, I do appreciate good music, and good people. If you're looking for something different then old time church, give it a try. I love their t-shirts. "Church is Boring".... with the is crossed out and changing it to " Church was Boring".

The message was good and the music was solid too. One thing I especially liked was that the volume was not overbearing and everyone was really into the worship. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend this church.

Denominations don't matter to me, and neither do lofty theological discussions about this or that. What matters to me is whether or not the Gospel is being taught. Westgate Chapel is family, it's community, and it's a place to learn. If you want a church where you can feel you belong, and not be judged - Westgate Chapel is the place for you.

"Mission" They have a T-shirt for it, and a good photo op, with a sprinkle of service. But a struggling family needing groceries or a widow about to be evicted; no food, no help available. Send them to the government, we don't have it. 8 faithful years, on fire, a true ambassador. I thought for the kingdom, but what I found out was that it was for a different kind of kingdom. I waited almost a year to write this because it's just so heartbreaking and I wanted to make sure I wasn't responding out of anger. We met a lot of great people and there are still a lot of really great people that are members, I think that's why most people just leave quietly. It's messy. It's like cleaning up glitter poured over something you really love, but have to admit there's a mess after it falls. There's so many little things that we overlooked and that we sadly participated in and perpetuated. Some will frame this as "going against God" but James is not God. This is a direct reflection of the cult-ure he's established (very well might I emphasize) You can "do good things" and still be completely wrong. He's completely impersonal, he couldn't tell you our children's names, probably not even age range but he did know we owned a business. Most of our exchanges included asking about business and having a "prosperous" week. It was flattering at first. But when things in life came crashing in on us, this church was quite literally not there. We "knew" many people but didn't do any actual real life with them, and as soon as we realized that and tried to start making these relationships, it was clear that was not the kind of community they were looking for. Everything is exclusive. They allow staff to use the kids area for birthdays or have weddings but not tithing members... They hold "freedom" events but starve them spiritually every Sunday, no more than 2 lines of the Bible are ever read from the pulpit and he is quoted saying "I don't know how I'm going to do this, I'm a 20 minute Jesus loves you pastor" and that said everything. He's not a pastor, he's an evangelist , and that's perfectly fine, but do not claim the name of Pastor when your flock is continually abandoned by you. A terrible shepherd. Books sales, numbers, score cards, appearance, clout, self congratulations and promotion are all very important to James. He has a fan club like David Koresh, this is partly why no one speaks out. I'm embarrassed I ate steak and screamed victory, while others starved. I've repented and so glad to be out from the shadow of such a terrible organization. I have many, many more occurrences of misconduct and many people have reached out privately with their stories of this organization but are quite literally too scared to speak up. Oh, a 2.5 million dollar payroll will easily start your journey into compromise, who pays a full time salary with full benefits to a made up corporate position? They do. We gave sacrificially, putting off things we needed, and they go and buy 20k signage and take unnecessary trips to africa so he can impart his white savior mentality abroad. Honestly that's enough, I have more. It is all so bizarre and corrupted. So when you see them soon patting themselves on the back for serving Fulton, know they denied a WIDOW from that very campus help from being evicted because she didn't tithe regularly but DID serve faithfully, for years. I have also recorded this entry and our experience with a local attorney because they will try to have it removed. To the fake elder board: Woah to you. God sees every compromise.

Can't go wrong visiting even if it's just to see what is happening there. I visited from out of state and would love to have this church and pastor close to my home.
