Fellowship Church - Fort Worth Campus — Attraction in Fort Worth

As Christian churches go, compassion was nil. I was invited to a women's meeting after my husband died. After being attacked unnecessarily by many people, this was a welcome salve for both my grief and high anxiety about the state of the world when someone is facing grief and loss of livelihood (and people wonder why widows commit suicide - if they hear about it, which happens quite frequently, and I was suicidal and they knew this), and the loss of all income. When I was offered help by both the head of the women's group and the pastor's fiance, no one got back to me as I needed some comfort and hope in my despair. So I called the women's group leader to find out when I could talk to someone, and she said she had her own problems and didn't have time (but sent me text to come to a baby shower the same week for an unwed mother - knowing I too was stripped of all money while no one had time for a phone call to me), and that the pastor's fiance was too busy with wedding plans (but she's happy, so who cares if she can't give 15 mins to a grieving widow). I had hopes this church would act Christian-like after hearing all the brags about this place. They don't act Christian, and this was just another new age church who can spout the bible with no depth of care for the teachings of Jesus in action. It's pretend. When churches follow Pauline teachings they don't feel any conscience about not doing works. I saw fake do-gooders, all talk-no follow through, bad priorities, lack of compassion, feeling bad for being alive because it hurt to see God's people acting so selfishly - when I do the opposite for anyone in need, and hypocrisy coupled with ignorance. These people are materialists, which eventually leads to nihilism because they are unequipped for real human suffering. Makes you wonder if God can be heard above all their own self focused chatter. Worst of all my own blood relative witnessed this and tried to excuse them, with excuses. My relative is poisoned as well with the same shallow mind-set. No one ever bothered to help me in any way even after reminding them of their word to call me. Just another Christian church that wouldn't know Jesus's teachings if he showed up with nail wounds to explain it with a power point and photographs. I'd rather rot alone than go back to such selfishness. They sucked all the meaning out of loving one's neighbor as oneself. Maybe they only remember the love yourself part. I'm done with Christianity because if it's all social and money, and no real care in spiritual principles in one's heart and action, then it's not a church of God, at least not the God I know. Sadly, I didn't even ask for money...just a few moments of comfort. It's that exact behavior that drives people over the edge (to suicide). No mystery about it. Christianity has turned into marketing and entertainment industry to please people who have no clue what it means to be a grown up. This church is no different. Truth hurts when you're being rebuked because your own conscience...

This campus does not see or value mid-life singles. As a woman in my 40s, I am not able to join their Bible study groups. They offer two groups, 1 for singles up to 35 years old and 1 for married people. I asked them about this. They said I was welcome to join a small group that was just women. It wasn’t the same as a Bible study group, and why am I not given the opportunity to study the Bible with both men and women to get different perspectives? Simply because I’m single and in my 40s? It seems yes, because if you are single and under 35 it's okay to be in a co-ed study group. The information desk told me maybe they weren’t a good fit for me if that’s what I was looking for because in their experience, coed Singles Group create “trouble” (but I guess only after a certain age since they did have an under 35 co-ed group! SMH) Ultimately, I did not feel welcome, seen or remotely...

Let me start off by saying that this church did make a wonderful impact in my life, at least at the beginning. People were so welcoming and caring, I felt at home. At least I thought I felt at home. After being here for a year or so I started to see the hypocrisy and the judgment towards one another. There is ALOT of pressure towards the volunteers, I would know because I was one. Some volunteers at the church make you feel like you need to perfect or else you aren’t important to them. I felt pressured, criticized by the people I called family. This church needs a lot of improvement not only in their staff but by the way they treat others behind the scenes. I started to doubt my faith because of this church. I would never go back to this church again due to that fact. That was personally...
