If you are thinking about going to Faith Assembly,...

If you are thinking about going to Faith Assembly, I have something to say about it. I was once against this church, for years, but God has open my eyes to some important things that I never thought about and it has tremendously changed my perception of things. Let me share my thoughts to help you make your decision if this church is for you.
~~
The Building is huge, beautiful, and clean. It sells coffee, snacks, breakfast, lunch and even books. It has snobby people and wonderful people. It has people that act like going to that church is going to make them look like good Christians, and then you have those people, who ARE good Christians. There are even rude people, but just as many nice people. Someone will cut you off in the parking lot, but I ve never seen anyone give the other driver the finger. The church will ask for money over and over again (and over again). It may seem too big of a church, and it may seem like the church has its focus on the wrong things.

Know some important facts (or maybe they are just my opinions)
1) In order to have a church this size and a school for grades Preschool to 12, it will need $$$ from everyone. Without money, the building or schools can t exist.

2) If anyone started a ministry, they would need money. This church supports several ministries. Without money, the ministries stop. How else can we share the Good News with the world?

3) We as Americans love comfort. So, the coffee, snacks, etc are just one of the ways to get a non-Christian to come through the doors. It is not the only way, but a good way.

4) Not all of the employees or volunteers are going to be nice just because they are in a church. You meet rude people in the mall, on the road, and guess what .they will exist also in the church. No one is perfect. They killed the only perfect person who ever walked the earth.

5) If you are expecting your child to grow up to be a great Christian just because of this church, you are wrong. Faith has amazing programs for all ages, including children. If you are a parent and bring your child to this church and leave them in the class while you go into the main sanctuary, don t expect your child to come out singing Amazing Grace and behaving like an Angel from God (although they kind of are Angels in my eyes). Our responsibility as Parents is to work alongside our church and teach our children the way to be like Jesus. To behave in a way that will be pleasing to our Father. When you pick up your child after service, take the service home with you and continue to help your child understand who God is and how much He loves us. The burden should not fall unto the church. Most of the helpers in these classes are volunteers and are not professional teachers. They are serving the Almighty God for the sake of our children. You should say thank you. (I personally know what it is like to serve in the Children s ministry).
6) You might walk into the church and feel overwhelmed and be a bit disturbed if you weren t greeted at the door (there are so many doors). Perhaps, some of the volunteers called in sick, and so the number greeters have been reduced. Oh well. Get over it.

7)Our Pastor is direct and honest and will say what is on his mind. If you have something to say about his preaching, then why don t you go up there and preach for him. He is dedicated to us each and every Sunday and so whether or not you like the message, it doesn t make the Pastor bad.

Stop looking for flaws or reasons to judge or criticize something or someone. Look for Jesus. You will find him at Faith. For some reason, it is in our human nature to whine and complain about every little thing. All I have to say is, Would you like some cheese with that whine?

I attend this church but not a member of the church (yet) & have not been paid to write this review. For the love of our Father and my church, I pray that my review will get you to walk through the doors & even better, to stay!!!

Bless you.
Forgive me for grammatical errors (I am at work trying not to get caught writing this review)
