This is a very close family church which welcomes everyone
God bless
My wife attended this church for 8 months before I ultimately had to remove her from such a toxic environment.Being honest Im not a believer although I know the scriptures, but my wife is a great believer and a very kind hearted woman, and it was her passion for Christ and her kind heartedness that was the very reason I had to get her out of there!The pastor starts off like the friendliest man in the world, he seems genuine, then he started pressuring her for more money because 10% of her monthly wage wasnt enough.15% would be a greater display of her faith!I was outraged, but she agreed to pay, and for 2 months I didnt protest. Not until they started asking why she doesnt make additional donations at every meeting in between.Further more when she rightly (and politely) questioned the pastors methods, and was abruptly told that if she wouldnt question Christ, then she shouldnt question his ambassador.After that she was let go from her role as a life group support leader and replaced by another member. (This was all done very cloak and dagger, the pastor trying to conceal his actions from the rest of the congregation).I actually went to speak to him about this but he was unable to see me, as he had pressing work to push on with.So that goes to show how much he values his members on a low income.To me this church is nothing more than a business exploring genuine believers for money.They take advantage of kind people and pressure them into giving money and recruiting more members as a show of their faith.It should also be noted that the majority of the influential people there are the pastors own family, and long standing members who (quite conveniently) give large sums of money to the church every month.Just look at the pastors cars, house, clothing and frequency holidays to exotic places. Clearly that money is more about appearances than spreading the gospel.Like I said, he starts off as your best friend, but give him time...My wife now attends a different church and I sometimes go with her, there is a huge difference in atmosphere.I do hope however, that the congregation will eventually see through this manipulous man as his treatment towards others in my opinion is appauling PS: I know many of the members who have left positive reviews, many of them are his relatives (you will see their matching surnames).Additionally some other reviews are from people who visited from the States for two weeks before returning back to the US, so take what they say as a pinch of salt.
Im giving it two stars because the congregation are very warm and friendly, however I have never seen such a horrible exploitation of the gospels for the sake of financial gain on behalf of the church pastor and his hangers-on.5 stars for the congregation0 stars for the leadership who are doing their best to exploit vulnerable people into give them money.Salvation is NOT something you can buy and sell. My prayers go to this church.
The people here are so incredibly welcoming. There are tons of ways to get involved and serve the community through this amazing network of believers! The pastors are excellent teachers, mentors, and counselors. It's obvious that they truly love and care about each one of their members. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in search of love, hope, vision, or guidance.
