Yes: I have chosen to remain anonymous for this review, but I feel compelled to share my experience as this was our first visit to this church.
To begin with, only one lady who offered assistance as we tried to navigate to the childrens section, but we were met with numerous unfriendly stares, almost as if we were unwelcome. When we finally reached the drop-off area, there was no clear guidance on how the process worked, and we had to figure out the sign-in procedure for our children on our own. Despite leaving our names and phone numbers on both children for safety, there was no one assisting once we reached the back.
The service itself felt very self-centered, lacking a meaningful message. Instead of delivering a powerful sermon, the focus seemed to be on boasting about the board of the assemblies and their personal achievements. While I wish everyone well in their endeavors, I did not appreciate the emphasis on self-praise during a time when we were seeking spiritual nourishment and the word of God.
Upon returning to pick up our children, I noticed one of our childs cups in the hallway, in front of a room where we had not dropped them off(once we picked the child up, he drank it all in one sitting since he did not have his juice in the new room). To our surprise, one of our children had been moved to a different room without any notification. The staff member apologized, explaining that the move was due to his age, even though he was clearly placed in the appropriate room based on the original sign-in. I expected to receive a call or text about this change, especially as this was our first time at the church, and we are particularly cautious about our children’s care.
Thankfully, the experience with picking up our second child was much smoother and went as expected, but overall, the lack of communication and organization left us with serious concerns.
