(Romans 2: 19 - 24). Why does this church continually delete truthful reviews? This church believes it is above reproach and accountability. In 2017/2018 members of this church made arrangements among themselves to sell a congregational member's (our father) estate without the knowledge of his daughters and grandchildren who had been the sole support to both parents. Members of this church used their own families to wrongfully sell/keep/use our dead father's possessions (many being sentimental items handed down through our father's family for hundreds of years). We continue to hold evidence for these numerous Gumtree sales (2018). Family members of the church's inner circle have continued to retain our father's possessions and sell them on Marketplace (as recently as 2023), nearly 6 years since our father died. We also have evidence of this. This unethical behaviour has occurred despite previous conversations and written communication with the church leadership and their families highlighting the distress this caused our own extended family. We will continue to highlight this church's deceitfulness and lack of transparency. This church wrongfully and foolishly assisted a mentally unstable elderly woman demonstrating erratic behaviour, to cut off her family. This church needs education on how to manage dementia and mental illness within its own community, rather taking advantage of the elderly. There is nothing "meaningful" about this church (as other reviewers have suggested), but rather many of those who attend this church have been mean. Additionally, they demonstrate pharisaic behaviours. Families connected to this church and its leaders have ultimately profited from our father's death. More significantly, this church denies, ignores and disregards the trauma, damage and distress it has caused other Christian families within the wider community....
Read moreThe ascention has improved my spiritual journey since first attendance. Outsiders intitiall aren't accepted re(a)d-ily. It began with a red baron pointing the proverbial finger of accusing me of bludging of morning tea feastings. But this couldn't be further from the truth. I have an etiquette personal rule of three tea cake limit. And, I really do believe in God and Jesus Christ. As the clergy gets to know you, their attitudes to newbies soften. The church was $47,000(?) in debt on my first visit but this seems to have improved, perhaps because I am here. I would really like to see a visit from a Southern Baptist Choir from the United States, it would be great. Don't talk about your life's work, material possessions, or life experience and it won't give them a reason to break the "thou shalt not covet thy neighbour" commandment and nominate you as a human sacrifice to the Lord. You can rest assure Hope Colegrove will remind you of your human errors and correct your language without knowing the full story of your perpetrators who behaved badly to provoke you. Ultimately, you are bad...
Read moreMy home church so of course I'm biased 😉 Solid biblical teachings, friendly people - but not all up in your face - and uplifting traditional hymns (with a few modern-ish) songs and choruses thrown in 💕 Kids programs Sunday morning (all ages), Nursery available during the service and Free off-street parking available behind the church in the United Services Club on Sunday's for church goers (please don't park undercover tho - that's not for church members).
