What visitors say
A severe safety hazard that leadership is completely ignoring. I can no longer attend Skybreak Church due to dangerously high decibel levels during worship. Even sitting far back close to the exit doors, the volume is incredibly loud. From that distance, I have personally witnessed people walk through the doors and immediately turn around and leave as soon as the music starts, multiple times. After going to the front for prayer, the extreme volume caused me to experience a loss of hearing in my left ear. It was a terrifying medical scare. The music is routinely mixed so loud that the bleachers literally vibrate, and you can see the vocalists on stage visibly straining and shouting just to be heard over the instruments. This is a massive liability and a direct threat to the health of the congregation especially the infants and small children sitting in the front rows exposed to these damaging noise levels. Members have brought this to the pastor's attention multiple times, and other public reviews have warned them about this exact issue for over six months, yet leadership treats it lightly and refuses to make changes. Because of this, many long-time members are actively leaving. Worship should be a refreshing experience to praise God, not a health hazard. I have found a new church home where worship is beautiful, safe, and respectful of the congregation’s well being. Walking into a church for the first time you expect to feel welcomed and comfortable. Unfortunately that was not my experience here. The moment you arrive everything feels very controlled. There is a specific way they want you to park and a specific place they want you to sit. As a visitor it made me feel more like I was following a rulebook than attending a worship service. A little warmth and flexibility would go a long way toward making new people feel like they actually belong there. The music was also really difficult to get through. The volume is cranked up so high that it becomes more of a distraction than anything else. Instead of feeling moved by worship I was mostly just focused on how uncomfortable it was. There is a big difference between powerful and overwhelming, and unfortunately this leaned way too far in the wrong direction. What is also worth mentioning is that they never respond to any of the reviews left here. That says a lot. If a church truly cares about its congregation and the people walking through its doors, it would at least acknowledge the concerns being raised. The silence makes it seem like the feedback just does not matter to them. Church is supposed to be a place where people feel free to come as they are. This experience felt like the opposite of that. I hope the leadership takes visitor feedback seriously because there is definitely room to grow in how they welcome people through the doors. I’ve never felt more at home. The energy is top tier!! You feel welcomed, loved, seen and included!! I found my forever church home!! I feel conflicted about leaving a two-star review for the church overall, but I think someone from the staff should know about this. The music in this church is very loud, and while I'm not against loud music in general, I believe the volume takes away from the true worship experience. I'm not the only person who feels this way, and I truly think someone more professional should be behind the sound booth. You can tell that the singers on stage are straining to shout over the loud music. Even during quieter parts, such as when announcements are made, you can barely hear the speaker. If you listen to the live broadcast on YouTube, you'll hear the difference: the music is overwhelmingly loud, but then the preacher is so quiet that you have to turn the volume up several notches. I've been to Skybreak many times, and I like the preaching, but worshiping, for me and some other people I spoke with has been a struggle. You should be able to hear yourself sing, because your mind needs to engage with the words coming out of your mouth as an act of glorifying God. People should be more engaged during worship, and when connecting with others, they should be able to talk freely in a normal voice. The first time I came, the bleachers were literally shaking, and I thought my ears were going to bleed. Really, someone should review the decibel levels and better balance them with the voices. As it stands, it creates an unpleasant worship experience. We love Skybreak! This church has blessed our family so much and we look forward to service and going to our small group! If you're looking for a great worship experience, a church that is focused on family, serving, discovering your purpose and looking for ways you can make a difference in the lives of others around you - this is the place to go!
