We’ve grown tremendously in our walk with Jesus since attending Freedomhouse. The pastors are welcoming, convicted, Bible & truth based. My family and I went to Tuesday night conference, there was a guess speaker . I enjoyed the worship and teaching . My daughter came with me to freedom house church in San Jose and she wanted to go to the Tuesday night conference. I was very happy when she asked my son to go with her during alter call , she stood there and no one took the time to encourage her or pray for her . She felt rejected and started to cry . There were several ministers praying for others they looked right at her and passed her as though she didn’t matter and prayed for others . I was heart broken . She asked me , didn’t he said all who needed prayer to come up ? She thought she had to fall on the floor and scream to get pray for . I can deal with it , but to a person who just coming to Christ . I am offended and hurt by this . This needed to be shared ! I hope and pray the next person who needs prayer , there will be compassion for all Was in Santa Cruz from out of town for Christmas and felt like visiting a church here since I was out of town! I didn’t notice the (seemingly given I was a guest) lack if diversity but it stuck out towards the end. Towards the end, the pastor made a few statements about a Nigerian pastor which were initially fine! The comments continued and eventually there came a sense of mockery.The congregation beginning to laugh at the Nigerian pastors former involvement in the Black Panthers which had no humor in my opinion. Finally, the straw on my back, was when recounting being blessed by the Nigerian pastor he made the remark that, “He was blessed by a Nigerian of ALL people.” Then, “even by a Nigerian from Legos…Lagos…LLL…However you pronounce it,” (Lagos is actually the largest city on the continent of Africa, mind you…) This somehow was humorous to the congregation for some reason. Needless to say, my family was offended by the mockery and we felt that it was very unfortunate. As Black guests, the pastor’s comments obviously made us feel extremely uncomfortable to the point of walking out which we never do or leave reviews. As someone who comes from generations of pastors, this wasn’t a godly experience and it was truly disheartening to say the least. Still, we hope that the pastor and congregants are able to grow beyond it! God bless. Presence Of God dwells within this church. Perfect representation of the Body Of Christ ! My wife and I miss all the smiling faces and great people @ Freedomhouse. Pastors are true leaders and servant's Of God. We thank the Lord for the time we were able to share . Blessings from Texas ! This is the place where I have found true freedom in Christ. Since I’ve started attending this church, my spiritual growth has skyrocketed. There isn’t many churches like Freedomhouse. I’m forever grateful I found this church.
