This is a hard review to write. My family and I served in this church for many years and we felt like we were family. When Covid hit, they shut the church down and fired our very popular head pastor with almost zero explanation. I say almost zero because the only real explanations that we got weren't honest in any way. We still have zero idea why this happened other than gossip, which a church shouldn't be promoting.

When this happened, I tried to contact the church leadership about why this happened and got the typical corporate BS response. Is that how Christ's church behave when confronted with leadership issues? We were left with horrible leadership that gutted the church.

I worked in security, and after returning to the church for a few months I couldn't help but notice that 90 % of the people that I had served with had left the church and are now attending other churches. This isn't a good sign and a complete turnover of volunteer staff is just awful.

When trying to address things with the church leadership I was told to just trust God. That is great, I do trust God, but I know that churches go bad and that is exactly the sort of platitude that they display when they do. I trust God, but I don't trust Man, and this church is displaying why this should be the case. Churches should be able to be honest and let us see how and why they work. What they did was and is reprehensible.

This was a great church, it isn't there now but had a great backbone of good Christians before Covid and their improper actions. I pray that they return to what they were. For now, my family and I will be attending a different church and will happily return once the church has regained it's honesty and integrity. Until then I would think very hard about what I believe in before attending this church.
