1 /5 Cheryl Huffman Real Estate: I feel compelled to share my experience today. I’ve attended and visited many churches over the years, but this was the first time I ever felt the Holy Spirit urgently prompting me to leave—in the middle of a service. I left feeling shaken, heavy, and emotionally overwhelmed. I wept in the parking lot, and that is completely out of character for me.
The message given by Pastor Kevin on 4/6/25 (starting around the 1:04:30 mark of the service) deeply disturbed me. He compared certain people to “rabid dogs,” and used phrases like “get rid of them,” “don’t allow them to remain,” “take care of them,” and “they are doomed to die anyway.” He was justifying through passages in the book of Judges.
What I heard did not reflect the Jesus I know—the Jesus who commands us to love one another, to show compassion, grace, and understanding. I wasn’t convicted or challenged in a biblical way; I felt spiritually crushed.
Also, while I’ve seen some reviews say this church is diverse, that was not my experience in the main service. Perhaps the Spanish-speaking service is more diverse, but I did not see much representation in the main congregation.
I’m still processing everything I felt today, and I know this may sound dramatic, but it’s simply what happened. I share this not to be divisive, but to be honest.
