This church is a blessing. The spirit of God is in this place. How can I be sure? I’ve had countless top of mind things I was pondering, read about or pray for and Brent gets up there and it will be that very topic. Not generalizing, specific!! The place is really laid back and feels like my home church from out west. They have wonderful book store and individual group meetings throughout the week. This church is on fire for Christ. Never once have they called me on the phone or pressured me. There welcoming and loving. I don’t highly recommend you have to go at-least once. this is the church to check out.

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.

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.
