Today is the second time I decided to check out Free Chapel. I am new to my decision to check out church, and I must say it was interesting to be dissuaded from attending.
The first time I attended I was descended on by about five people to check my bag. This was explained to me, and I explained I would have to have my bag to attend. Not everyone drives….
I left under the impression that my bag would just be checked on future attendance. This is not the case. Although I was permitted to attend today, I ended up leaving. What would be the point of staying knowing I cannot return?
I want to say, I do not feel personally attacked by any of this, but it is worth pointing out that, if an on-site solution is not formulated you are turning people away based on assumption. I find that unfortunate.
It also feels like a stance of privilege to be told, after an hour of walking to mass, that because I do not have a car to set my bag in, I am not able to attend mass.

There are better ways to practice community outreach that doesn't include annoying people with emails and phone calls...
Read moreI love going to this church! Everyone treats each other like family. The sermons are powerful, spirit lead and easy to understand. Pastor Jordan makes everyone fill welcome. He is the Pastor of the Midtown Campus. The word of God is easily imparted. I love going to the 9am service with my family. Roger and his wife makes us feel so at home. My family and I have been attending Free Chspel Midtown for over 2 yrs. We attended the Gainesville campus beforehand. The church is reprersentable of all nationalities, so when God looks down upon us, he smiles. As a native Atlantan, I enjoy going to this church on Sundays. You are always welcomed to come as well....
