Memorial Church of Christ, Houston — Attraction in Hedwig Village

Not one person welcomed me or my family. One guy griped about holding the door open for us. We had to find our way to the main worship with no help from anyone.

But worse than that, it shows that they don't trust their members or visitors. Who wants to go to a church were parents are views as predators? We talked to several members and they were shocked by the situation also. And the signs next to the classroom doors say that parents of children can enter. Seems like no one has any idea what the policy is. Some one at the church responded to this review, and they clearly don't even know the...
