Traditional services where great. After 9 months of regular attendance to Sunday service people kept pushing membership classes on us. Attending the quarterly 2 1/2 hour membership class was a mistake for us. Decided to opt out at the end of it after a lot of awkward and uneasy moments. They constantly harped on the need for more money. One flamboyant speaker in the membership class actually said " 10% offering during service is great but we need you to donate more cause ya'll love extravagant things. We all know you love the heat and A/C during service and we all need paid although none of us make much".
Was surprised they wanted a committed one year donation in writing right then and there after taking a collection during the class after they served pizza.
The Jesus I know wouldn't be concerned about money for bigger, better and more frivolous things. I prefer an accepting church that is concerned more about spiritual needs and less about how much MORE money I'll be giving because enough never is enough. We will not return and wouldn't/couldn't recommend this place for worship. Just my honest opinion.
