misleading the public

by mrslouisgarrett1 at Citysearch

Shame on this church for being very misleading in a recent newspaper article. They stated that they were going to be open on a certain saturday for some type of fund raiser. I drove by there to see becuase i was going to help contribute, But after reading these comments on citysearch im glad i didnt. I drove by this church at the time stated and know one was there. Bad community service.

  • Cons: is not there

small congregation

by bettyn70 at Citysearch

I recently visited this church and was highly dissapointed. I felt that the minister did not really have the call to preech. It seemed to me that when she was preeching she was reading it it from a script rather than having it come from the heart. This told me that she was not really familar with the bible. I use to come here along time ago and will pray that the minister and congregation will become the church it once was. May god bless you and your minsiter. I truly hope that you will find your way! I did however enjoy the open communion although i felt like some of the people were just going through the motions and not beleiving with what the minsiter was saying.

  • Pros: very small
  • Cons: different beliefs

Concerned

by Brittany14 at Citysearch

I remember when they dropped my friend from their prayer list (reference the member's comment below), and it hurt him and his family so deeply. Even though this family had decided to leave for very important reasons (sermons that violated Scripture) they didn't tell the pastor or the church members this, but rather took the high ground saying they felt led to move to another church. This family was treated very rudely and without compassion, and this is a family in great need of prayer due to the father's life threatening medical condition. There is simply no excuse for anyone who claims Christianity to act this way. They have shown more concern over the negative comments posted on this site than they did this man's critically poor health.

People often leave their churches for a variety of reasons. People sometimes move membership from the church I attend simply because they fill led by the Holy Spirit to do so. In marked contrast, our pastor brings them up to the front and says that "God has led them to move on" and we all stretch hands out and pray for them in their new church home. Then they stand at the back of the church so that we can each wish them well and hug them as we exit the service.

Honestly, the best thing this church could do for the kingdom of God is to close it's doors I am sad to say. We have many excellent churches in our area so keep looking, and God bless you as you seach for the one that is right for you.

  • Cons: Poor Understanding of Scripture
