I absolutely do not recommend this place of worship. Yes it has all the bells and whistles, but the leadership lacks empathy. Particularly leadership (that is still there might I add and still runs lifegroups, but CR isn’t any longer thank God because they don’t need to be facilitating anything like that) that told me that my adoptive mother wasn’t my mother, and that claimed I enjoyed pain because I had a bilateral mastectomy after breast cancer, called me a slut, a liar (which all can be backed by medical documentation and family witnesses like my aunt who was at medical appts with me) and said other things as well. I’m by no means perfect, but things that were said to me were absolutely uncalled for. When I tried to go higher up (Scott), my emails were ultimately ignored after I was told that I should address the issue with said leadership. I had actually tried that previously and there was no resolve. In fact, it made issues worse. So I tried to have a meeting combined with higher leadership, and as stated above I was ignored. I absolutely DO NOT recommend this place especially if you have mental health history, they use it against you. This is not a place of growth or healing, but a place I’m working to heal from.

Need prayer desperately I will get to that The pastors at this church are excellent. They address relevant real life issues. They are methodical and you can tell many hours go into their teaching. In our diar situation financially we decided. To Thoth a large amount of our income. We need prayer Hello all. Well new yers eve was wonderful my wife and I were baptized at Cascade Hills and it was wonderful. Who knew that 2025 would lead me from utter darkness and actual death physical and spiritual to the God of creation, his son and the spirit. It was a struggle but God did not overwhelm me. Infact I felt a gentleness never experienced in my life. I’m also a veteran so we don’t practice that feeling very well. I began a book by Mary Stockwell named “ may you be forever strong.” It’s about a Christian woman who was a partier and “ holiday Christian.” Who God molded from scratch. With three little kids and recent Devorse left her jobless and on the verge of non existence. And her walk with Christ. At one part in the book she talks about tithing to the church two weeks of grocery money she didn’t have and what happened next was a motile. That miracle was short lived by the evil one and further testing her faith to irs very limits. I’ve heard countless stories of tithing results in many more gifts then expected if expecting at all should not be the way the heart and mind think. Inspired and hearing all the stories of faith. I gave a large tithing to the church last night with all the bills do and some are not going to get paid this month. God asked me to test him on this and so be it. We may loose the house is a real possibility and if that’s what his will is then let it be. Mary gave two weeks of grocery money to the church while already on food stamps after her husband left her with the small kids, no education and homeless. After she tithed the next month when she went to the college to get her check for the semester it was more than double what she normally got to an additional scholarship that she applied for. The school said it will come every semester. But it didn’t and more tests came. I don’t know what’s going to happen to us you see we bought a new home ( built 2015). Went through inspection during escrow and moved in. A month later the AC system was discovered to be riddled with holes and we were now spending 1000.00 dollars a month in free recharges. I actually found the AC company that recharged the Freon days before the inspection so the owner knew, lied and moved to Michigan. Here realitor also knew Kim Mixon would not tell us where she moved to and I pointed out that she lied on the disclosure of the home. Kim would not even take my call and they basically said lawyer up. But no recourse and we sold one of our cars to get the new AC unit. The new unit went in by miles clean air. There the contractor for American Home Shield. He said he was going to put a bigger unit than the one that was in it currently to help with my COPD and lung problems created by burn pits in the Middle East. The unit ended up being oversized and water flowed out of the attach onto the brand new homes floors, ceiling and damage everywhere. American home shield cancelled us shortly after saying they upgraded the unit and with upgrades there’s nothing they can do. Mikes said that the entire homes insulation needed to be replaced. None of the other 15 homes built by ray wright had this problem. The humidity now runs 80% in the home and the summer bill goes from 400 a month to 1100 from June to September. The unit short cycles as well meaning it starts and stops a dozen times an hour causing the excessive bill. The humidity has curled all the wall switches and bleeds in the walls. Electrical sockets drip water. I say all this asking for prayer please. We need prayer in a big way. I’m terrified but know God has a plan and that may be giving up this wonderful home that we sacrificed for 25 years in the military, three warmest and several major deceased I have no doubt will be the cause of an earlier deathlife . Please pray for us.

During my time attending this church, I became deeply uncomfortable with the leadership culture shaped by the pastor. Sermons and messaging often framed disagreement or criticism of leadership as a spiritual issue rather than something to be discussed openly. To question anything the pastor said is to be “outside your spiritual authority” is a claim frequently made. When concerns were raised, I observed that leadership decisions were not transparent and accountability was nonexistent. Over time, this created an environment where questioning authority felt discouraged, and honest conversation was difficult. If you attend and feel otherwise, I challenge you to seek a 1:1 meeting with the pastor and see if you’re able to do so, or to request that they share their financial budgets like every other church in the area.
