Lived in Cary since the late ‘90’s…it’s a shame to see a great pastor like Pastor Dial retire and be replaced by an ex-megachurch staffer (the one who started in 2020) who loves crowds and despises people, who’s ever eager to get up in front of a crowd, who never tires of hearing himself talk, but is unimpressive—though he continually tries to squeeze excitement out of the congregation. He writes these long, detailed booklets (“playbook”) for volunteers to follow (which the staff doesn’t follow themselves) for doing simple jobs like greeting and working the parking lot. He prefers a staff of easily-manipulated 20-something-nobodies (uh…correction…nepotism here) who don’t know what they’re doing (but don’t they project that “young church” image?) in charge of capable, experienced adults, and expects the workers to drop in like pegs into peg holes, to keep their ideas to themselves. One of his playbook rules is that workers are forbidden to meet with each other unless a leader is around.

We love Cary Church! Powerful worship and sermons rooted in scripture every week. Our kids love and thrive in the kids ministry. Cary Church is a great church for all ages and all walks of life.

Wonderful and loving pastors and staff. I have been helped in ways I cannot begin to articulate fully. Cary Church is the place I call home for my spiritual growth as I continue my faith journey. I cannot say thank you enough.
