My family started coming there when I was young around 2004 and we left shortly after COVID. This…read morechurch is made to look good on the outside and inside as long as you attend regularly, get involved in some way (Volunteer, Attend Groups, Put your kids in youth groups, and made it a priority to connect with other families alike). Which sounds great. But if someone in your family receives a mental health diagnosis and you go to any of the pastors for help or prayer, they will essentially shun you or faze you out. All of those "connections" you have made, and any monetary contributions you give to the church won't matter because in their eyes, they have to protect their "brand". Your "friends" won't view you the same once this information get's out. There isn't support for this situation in CVC church. My family had to learn the hard way. It caused a lot of hurt. This church runs on how you present yourself and your family as well as how other people that attend this church perceive you. The church doesn't want acknowledge this type of situation. They want to avoid anything that may seem heavy or messy to them. This church thrives on fitting the mold. The "perfect" families, attendance, opportunities to get involved. This is intentional. My family, they are good people, who did everything "right" in the churches eyes, until they came for help. I wouldn't wish any of what we went through on someone else. I've kept quiet for a long time on this topic. I just feel that it is important for people to understand what we didn't.

Then I talked with a Pastor Adam who is a complete hot head, who is a trial and jury all in one and insults you and brings you down when you speak to him. They referred me to this guy Doug Kuch work on my car because he was so great so I let him, who did not repair all the codes in my cars computer and now I have problems with my car that I did not have before he worked on it. Rich Bennett and Pastor Geoff will not hold this guy accountable for this guy making my car unsafe and putting me in harms way. I have serious health issues that I brought to Rich Bennett and Pastor Geoff and Pastor Adams attention and not once did they show any compassion towards me or ask if they could assist in any way. Pastor Geoff only care if you have MONEY! ! What a bunch of hippocrates. This is not Jesus way but the Devils way. What a complete let down that a church like this exists. Shame on all of them!
