After moving to Colorado I have gone to this church several times, but unfortunately it doesn t seem like for church me. Although the sermons can have some moving moments and the pastor seems great, there seems to be a lot of self-worship in their weekend services. This is very prevalent in their music as well as the pre-sermon news, where they seem to be bragging about how they themselves did all of these great things instead of through God. An example of this could be seen in their self-produced Easter film that had good intentions but didn t really portray the story of Jesus. The pastor s sermon after the film was outstanding though.
In addition to this, there seems to be a disconnect while seated in the congregation. Rather than being an interactive Christian family, it seems to be more of collection of entitled individuals with little expression of wanting to engage in social interaction. As a young professional, I can see how this congregation and the other previously noted issues could drive a lot of people my age from attending church or even from Christianity by churches such as these. I find this to be very unfortunate, because this church has some great key aspects but the negatives outweigh them.
