“I am new to IN - four months in. I have been looking to find a church where I would feel welcomed. A community where everyone is welcomed. I have attended the services about 5 times now. Creek was referred to me by the a close family friend. My ethnicity is Indian. I grew up in the outskirts of Delhi and I am a child of an inter-caste married couple. My mother is Punjabi Hindu, and my father is Protestant. We came to USA when I was 12years old and today I am 33 years old. I grew up in the tri-state area, NY/NJ. Being an immigrant, I understand the difference in cultures, mindset, religions (specially being that India has multiple different religions), not to mention a diverse group of people that make up this country. So, we have many different cultures and religions around us here in USA as well. So, when it comes to diversity, religion and culture USA is not any different to me than India. Both countries are rich with their own culture and traditions. Lead Paster Dan Hamel’s sermons hold value, ans I have taken a lot back from my few attendings – but this past Sunday Dec 10, 2023, very clear remarks were made “Christianity is the only religion where Lord himself came to Earth for his people and lived among them….” “Hinduism, Judaism, Islam – these religion did not have their Gods come to Earth and this is why Christianity is best religion …” please do excuse me, I did not sit and memorize Lead Pastor Dan Hamel’s exact words, but I did receive your massage. Please think how can a pastor to lead, A Lead Pastor? When did it become OKAY to say anything negative or to create a competition between religions. Many young families who have made the conscious decision to raise their little ones in Gods footsteps. I remember how we all took a moment to welcome and acknowledge all those families on stage with their little ones. So, these kids who are going to grow up one day are also going to teach their little ones someday – “Our religion is the best” “No other religion has had their God sacrifice for his people”. Are you serious about this? So, you want to tell me that Lord Rama did not go in exile for 13years for his Kingdom and his family and his people. He did not sacrifice his life, family for his people. Lord Shiva does not exist among his people. Hinduism is polytheistic – yes, we have many Gods we worship. We do believe that our Gods walk among us. Goddess Lakshmi – every time a baby girl is born – it is believed that newborn baby girl is a form of Goddess Lakshmi who has decided to bless the family with a baby girl – blessing of happiness and prosperity. Please excuse me, but all I see is an ignorant man leading a community. I was not able to sit through the service and missed communion – no communion should be served under this kind of ministry. Our Lord and Jesus himself didn’t have anything this harsh to say about anyone.”

“Great Pastors who are so transparent about their own lives, so you overcome and succeed in yours. They genuinely love people and you feel that when you walk into the doors. from Teenagers to adults = so relatable. Pastors that give to their community and if there is a need in the house they will meet it.. I could go on and on. Great church, the choir awesome Angela awesome!”
