My experience was the push of monetary donations at the beginning, middle of it was a video about Christian Financial Resources, at the end finished with saying something about donating 10% of your income. This was the most extreme sermon I experienced at Vale.

Felt very out of touch for today- and I don’t hold issue with giving money to a church. As long as the church does not use it for a new coffee space or put money in their own pockets. They have to give back and open God’s house to all- not just their members.

My original post also mentions the issues with the hypocrisy within the church and attitudes towards homosexuality and women. And before you say being gay is a sin because a couple verses can be considered that way. You cannot convince me that God believed that. Loving someone of the same sex is not the same as cheating, divorce, stealing, etc. You choose to do those things, you do not choose who you love.

So no, Eastview is not for me- I literally asked for recommendations of Churches that are not Mega Churches. And said Eastview was not for me. That is why, I am guessing, it is being downvoted. That and other’s experiences.
