I love this church they love lost people the pastors the staff the welcome team praise team and everyone is so loving

This church was devastating to go to. I'm from Colorado. Weve had non-denominational churches since early 90s. I come from Flatirons church, Red Rocks church, and even moved to NC to attend Elevation Church a few years in 2021 - those churches are non-denominational. This church is DEEPLY Baptist, conservative, and pretending to be something it's not. The morning I woke up and went, was because encouraged by the cool espresso/cafe, so cool, except they are not up to date on gluten and sugar free coffee sweetener options or pastries, so that didn't go well/was a sad experience. And no almond milk option... But the preaching was done by the main pastors son I think. Keep in mind that I had followed the cafe the church the pastor and his son on Instagram. Followed all of them. Only to be revealed at the end of the sermon where their site was truly at, when they/he commented about the Muslim culture having virgins promised in heaven. Since when do we need to cut down another religion to build ours up? And to make it seem more righteous or good? Gut wrenching. As I am half white, half Pakistani and Indian 37 year old, and although I was raised Christian and by my white mother I have Muslim family. I literally almost brought a very close family member with me that morning. I AM SO GLAD I DIDNT. I looked high and low at churches in Columbus. I was so excited that this was going to be the one. It had to be it was the most modern looking one in a conservative Southern town.... It, sadly, broke my heart, and I left. I will not be going back to church here, or anywhere in Columbus. Even though I love Columbus movie calling is my home I am giving my time as a churchgoer, it's end. Thank you to all the years and different churches I've been. And now to hold steady on my own, and while watching Elevation Church online.

Such a pleasure at the A Night to Shine prom every year
