Cascade Hills Church — Attraction in Columbus

I am a newer member been going about 3 months now and wanted to share my experience. First my kids love it! I feel totally comfortable with them in their hands. That is not something I say lightly. My youngest who isn’t used to being apart from me took a few weeks to adjust but now he waddles on in like he owns the place. Having them cared for allows me to focus on the word in peace. Here I have found People are warm and friendly and the Pastor has a way of teaching that is easy to understand. It’s a come as you are church. Which I was raised the exact opposite in that you come in your Sundays best. So it took me a few weeks to shake that ideology that was entrenched in my mind since I was a kid. Let me tell you the first service I went super comfy felt like the word got even better! I laugh now just thinking about it. I have had so many blessings come about and I believe it’s as a result of me focusing on my relationship with God. Something this church has been instrumental in assisting with. I have been unemployed for months now and it was coming to a point where I would need to move back home. Somewhere I hadn’t lived in over 15 years. I was praying more fervently than ever but all I could hear God say is wait. Meanwhile bills are piling up my savings is gone. My anxiety is rising. Then something happened that was unexpected. A random person I only knew in passing stopped me one day and said. God told me to give you this. And they literally gave me exactly what I needed. I was in complete shock. No one knows or knew what we were going thru. And while It didn’t solve all our problems it bought us more time. Fast forward to the week before I planned to move I got an email about a position I interviewed for and they were offering me a position that pays double. Hallelujah! Going thru a divorce I needed to ensure I was making enough to carry the load. And now me and my kids will be able to continue as faithful members and building our lives here in Columbus. If something on your heart is saying this might be the church for you then come. I saw this place and in my time of despair something in my heart said go and it was the best decision ever! I encourage you to see and experience it for yourself that is the only way to...

This church was devastating to go to. I'm from Colorado. Weve had non-denominational churches since early 90s. I come from Flatirons church, Red Rocks church, and even moved to NC to attend Elevation Church a few years in 2021 - those churches are non-denominational. This church is DEEPLY Baptist, conservative, and pretending to be something it's not. The morning I woke up and went, was because encouraged by the cool espresso/cafe, so cool, except they are not up to date on gluten and sugar free coffee sweetener options or pastries, so that didn't go well/was a sad experience. And no almond milk option... But the preaching was done by the main pastors son I think. Keep in mind that I had followed the cafe the church the pastor and his son on Instagram. Followed all of them. Only to be revealed at the end of the sermon where their site was truly at, when they/he commented about the Muslim culture having virgins promised in heaven. Since when do we need to cut down another religion to build ours up? And to make it seem more righteous or good? Gut wrenching. As I am half white, half Pakistani and Indian 37 year old, and although I was raised Christian and by my white mother I have Muslim family. I literally almost brought a very close family member with me that morning. I AM SO GLAD I DIDNT. I looked high and low at churches in Columbus. I was so excited that this was going to be the one. It had to be it was the most modern looking one in a conservative Southern town.... It, sadly, broke my heart, and I left. I will not be going back to church here, or anywhere in Columbus. Even though I love Columbus movie calling is my home I am giving my time as a churchgoer, it's end. Thank you to all the years and different churches I've been. And now to hold steady on my own, and while watching Elevation...

So my family and I just moved here to G.A. from N.C. Originally we are from Clarksville, TN and we loved our church there so we wanted to find a good church to go to in N.C. and unfortunately we were not able to find a church that we with into. So as we moved here to Columbus my wife found this church. We were amazed by the size and figured it must be good with a following of this size. As we were sitting there our son who is 1yrs old was with us because we did not place him in the nursery because we were unsure if we would want to stay with this church or not. So on to my issue. A member of the church came in and approached us and asked us to leave and go to a “viewing room” where he could have “ all the fun he wanted” in there because he was “having too much fun”. Mind you not only did he say this to us, but he felt the need to announce this to the others in the viewing room that “he was having too much fun”. I have never been so embarrassed and infuriated in my life to be completely honest. And then to be show cases as “those people” to the other room. That’s disgusting and I won’t be coming back. For me personally and I won’t speak for my wife, but this is why I have strayed away from church, religion, and god in these last few years of my life. The pastor however was very awesome in what he was teaching and spreading the word, but the actions of the man that handed me a flyer that basically said your child is annoying y’all need to leave, but in a nicer way is a direct reflection of the entire church and it gives off the vibe that that’s how the rest of the church is as well. I have been trying to get back closer with God and restore my faith, but I feel as if this incident has actually pushed me even...
