Can you beleive EVERYTHING your pastor tells you????? \r
\r
Pastor's sermons are great. HOWEVER, Members are Not. 2 familys seem to run things around there.\r
I have only been once.\r
However I know a family that went there for 2 to 3 years and was going to school to become a pastor and was told by the Pastor David Mathews that he could not preach in the church untl he has at least 40 college credits. So he continued doing so working toward these credit and was involved with the music ministry as well as the choir and was youth director for a 6 months and actually built the youth at the church. \r
Then out of the blue he decided to make his son in law asso pastor and another member a asso pastor as well and these people DO NOT HAVE ANY SCHOOLING behind them. Since my friend has left the teen group has dropped off to 4 kids.\r
This friend of mine was extremly hurt over what they did and his wife left the church. He continued for another 11 weeks to fofill his obligations to the kids and not once did the members ask about his wife or where she was or why she hasn't been comming to church.\r
\r
Enter at own risk\r
on a scale to one to ten the drama is about a 9.\r
\r
I suggest to visit several churchs in the area before making one your home. If any pastor tells you what he will do for you ...get it in writing.\r
\r
My friends family are now at another church and he is getting started in the music program again as well as the choir. BUT this scar he recieved from this past church shall never leave.\r
\r
He wouldn't write you all this because he cares for the Pastor and know's he has a lot on his plate. But it's no reason for him to make empty promises.\r

God Bless\r
