Review of Hillsong NYC

I love coming here for the music and worship of Go...

I love coming here for the music and worship of God. Their worship is amazing, but this church is filled with too many people trying to be "trendy" and not enough true worshippers. I came to church today and there were kids playing music talking about drugs and alcohol inside the church! I was appalled. I've met some nice volunteers and I volunteered for a day but the community is not here. They are nice on the surface cause that's their job that they're doing. They make you come 90 minutes to the service to just stand around. They spoke to us and told the volunteers where to go which took maybe 10 minutes and then there was nothing else for us to do so we all stood around like we were in high school chatting. I stood around awkward cause I didn't know anyone and no one made me feel comfortable. I pictured volunteering to be way more warm and not just a hey welcome to church but actually trying to get to know each person. Knowing who's coming in broken and reaching that hand out, but I really don't see that here at this church. Some of the pastors do make me laugh and the worship is great. I wish they would get an old pastor one day though. Once I tried sitting on a floor seat once and a volunteer told me I couldn't sit that it was reserved with a nasty so I said okay so where can I sit? She said idk but this is reserved. Very rude. She could have pointed me in the right direction. This church needs some real fixing up.
