I like Celebration Church, except for Pastor Joe. It is sad, but until he is no longer associated with the church, I will be attending another one. I like to congregation, the music, and the atmosphere, but I know first hand that Pastor Joe speaks words of hatred when he is not in front of a crowd. He is extremely homophobic, but if you have attended Celebration long enough, you probably already know that. I am not gay and may not understand peoples choices, but I do know that it is NOT my place judge anyone. Apparently Pastor Joe does not know that. And if you are Muslim, or any religion other than Christian, be very careful. There is a hatred that is brewing in that family, and I pray that it does not turn in to violence one day. I can't be a part of anything that he leads, because he can not be trusted. What he teaches his family and those close to him, is not what he preaches at Church.
