What visitors say
You know I liked this church. I did the rooted program I volunteered with maintenance and helped out for their productions which are every weekend with the bounce houses. It's a good church good people. But Jerry and his wife kept bringing politics into the sermons and the church, And I don't care if it's voting season or not don't be talking about politics because Jesus is the only politician Jesus is the only leader that we need all these human leaders they're all the same they're all garbage no matter what their intentions so I left this church and I found a much better one with a lot more laughs but God bless to these guys hopefully they'll find their direction that isn't with the government . I first started attending Carmel last year(2025). I was welcomed and treated amazingly. I even got baptized there. It was great, until it wasn’t. They will definitely judge you harshly. They say they live by the Bible. However, do NOT ever question it or quote the scriptures that contradict what they teach. I made that mistake and I was literally escorted out of the service by Pastor Nick and Pastor Gabe and told that I am no longer welcome to attend. Never in my life have I ever been kicked out of a church. It was utterly ridiculous and embarrassing. What is even more shocking is the lead pastor taught on forgiveness about 2 weeks prior but apparently that doesn’t apply to everyone. I do NOT recommend this church. Find a different place to worship God. Wonderful place to connect with neighbors and worship. Spirit-filled, we found friends and fellowship. Come visit! The atmosphere, messages, and worship are all fantastic. However, it is the people and pastors who make the City Church the amazing home that it is. Awesome Non-denominational church. Full of Grace and Truth. I am a single dad of three boys under 12 and from the first minute I stepped on their campus their staff was so gracious and helpful. Offering to take my boys to thier area so I could grab a much needed coffee before service. Wendell , the youth pastor, was incredibly hospitable and even followed up with me via text. Jerry the Lead Pastor stopped by to shake my hand and welcome me. Went back a second time and I have been going through some things as we all do. Just when I needed it Veronica came and introduced herself and took me to Associate Pastor Toby who prayed with me on the spot. A man named Mike saw that happening and came right up offering his words and special message he felt lead to give. Words can not express how much I needed that support today. I know where my tithe is going. This church and its members are the real deal. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.
