My husband and I seeked counseling and help we were neglected. I've been going to world harvest church for over a year. I have been commited to the church and I feel when a person needs help or is a danger the church should render to help. A church should be a hospital for people in need. My husband reached out to elders and never received a call back we felt ignored. I had a situation recently were I was trying to get attention from an elder he was standing with a crowd of people after church service and they started to pray for a couple so I respected that but when they were done praying a circle of elders and volunteers were in a circle but I was told to move away from them so I was pushed to the side lines. I was in desperation and needed help and prayer for my situation. I stood there for 20 minutes crying people turned and looked at me but no one seemed to care. I tapped elder twice on his shoulder trying to get his attention but he said I told you hold on when he never even turned to look at me or said anything. All these people were focused on these people and then began to take pictures..I just needed to talk to a leader and I've just never felt so neglected especially this being my home church. The church talks about love god love people but I really didn't feel the love. I really thought world harvest was my church and there was a reason why god brought me and my husband here to ohio but now I'm not sure I'm starting to doubt the church and I feel if you don't have money your not as important. At least that's how I felt..I'm sure pastor pays more attention and prob knows and acknowledges the people who pours $$ into his congregation. I have also attempted to talk to pastor but was ignored I don't know if it was intentional or he was too busy but I was litterally breathing behind his back as he said hi to a lil girl and her mom but he never once turned around just kept walking but I know he knew I was there.. I wanted prayer for my husband cause I believe he's possessed and needs deliverance..I really looked up to him and admire him as I hear him speak he truly is inspiring no doubt and I believe he loves people with all his heart but I also believe he's forgotten what a church is suppose to be for it's not about the music it's not about the money..it's not about putting on a show it's about the word and about helping people in any form or way. Now I'm just saying cause that's the way I've been seeing it I may not have all the money in to world but I am human and when I need help from my home church I expect that. I believe that pastor needs to train his staff properly and hire people who have a true purpose to serve others if the congregation is under staff this should be looked at cause it's important to return phone calls back and to help others especially when...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI don't go here anymore. Some people at this church are judgemental and obnoxious. Some people here really propetuate the "overly judgemental christian" stereotype here. I went to this church for 2 years with my fiance. At first, going to this church, it was sometimes okay and can be fun at times. But some people at this church would constantly judge my fiance and I for not being married and living together. One person even blatantly told us "God isn't going to bless you if you are sinning against him." We weren't trying to sin against God deliberately but sometimes things happen in life. Someone in the church choir had said this to us. Matter of fact it was someone who was supposed to be a friend. Who we thought was a friend.
Almost everyone that attends this church acts like they are "holier-than-thou" and like they are perfect when in fact they are not. I will never come back here. You're not going to get people to feel welcomed if you are openly judging them all the time. Some people here need to get a grip and stop acting like they're perfect and never made mistakes ever in their entire lives. Get over yourselves.
Another incident that happened is one of the church "senior leads" aggressively grabbed my fiance's arm. I was mad about this and again the same church choir person I mentioned before told me I had no reason to be upset because he is the senior lead and has superiority. She also said I had no reason to be upset because if I am "God will block my blessings." Um WHAT? If I was so in the wrong for being reasonably upset over this then why did that senior lead who roughly grabbed my fiance's arm apologized to my fiance later that day?
Yeah I'm done with this place. Certain people here are a complete joke and need their...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThere is a great move of the spirit here! The Spirit of the Lord really moves in the lives of those hurting, lost and afflicted. I enjoyed the service and the dynamic preaching of Pastor Rod Parsley. The elders and pastors of the church are very inviting and approachable when seeking direction or help. This is one of the greatest churches in Columbus, Ohio region and I would recommend you visit if you desire holiness and want to draw close to God. The praise and worship šš ā¤ļø service is beautiful and they create an atmosphere for God to move in the lives of the parishioners! I decided with my family to join this church after multiple visits and meeting many of the people that have been attending for years. I have now been attending for over a year and all I can say is "wow" is how much God has blessed us through this awesome ministry.( Many free books given to parishioners, free coffee every Sunday, doughnuts, child care, leadership audios, free downloads, CDs, , church planting classes.ministry licensees, Christian Bible college, etc) I am really one of those people who are real big on service, kindness, authentication and delivery, well I'm here to tell you this church has it all. God bless š I hope this review helps someone make the...
