Central Christian Church

It's a cult and I am traumatized. This cult cares about money and pastors shouldn't sleep around. Oh, I believe this from past experience how I was treated by a pastor there.

It's been 15 years I am still hurt how they treated me. How they made me feel bad about myself and gossiped about me and made fun of me.

The bible doesn't want you to attend a church with bad relationships in the ministry. Sets a bad example and will lead the church in a state of confusion. Dangerous spirit.

Move forward in love not doubt! Worry is the devils playground!!!

I am a member here at Central, it is truly all love and all about God!! If you choose to you can view it live on live stream from the website.God Bless You!

Any church that removes "Christian"out of their name, is not a church I would attend.

They threatened too sue our city and i believe they should be banned out right

I worked at Central Cult Church for 3 months as a Security and Safety Guard. I'm a retired NYPD Police Officer Specialist with 25 years of Service with the NYPD.I worked 3 months at the so called Central Church and I dealt with members {{Redacted}}, members {{Redacted}} in the parking lot, the homeless in the area coming in and attempting to steal property and when I addressed the situation in all these incidents I was reprimanded and informed to give the criminals and immoral "Grace".

I was informed if I didn't take their 12 step classes I could lose my position. When I performed any overtime I was not paid, I was informed I "Must" volunteer time to the church. During a meeting the group was informed that first and foremost we must protect the reputation of the pastor and the church. Anyone speaking against the pastor or the cult church, that the matter should be brought to the attention of our supervisor or the pastor immediately.

Anyone speaking against the Pastor or the Church will be exiled.Their approach for their followers mimics those of Scientology.I left after 3 months because I was threaten by a church member after I brought it to the father and mother's attention that their unsupervised 3 brats are not allowed to run on the stage and splash the baptismal water, it's not their house, and they should show some respect for the church and should perform their duties as parents.

He was happy with the response he received from me after he threatened me. Afterwards I was reprimanded for not showing "Grace" and for lashing out on one of the low lives that attend the church.

I believe the Bible is a story it's hard to so long ago that it's hard to take seriously or literally. Does anyone really, truly believe a sea was parted by Moses?

Or Noah put ALL animals (2 of each) on a boat? Or someone rose from the dead?

Harry Potter is a story too....do Bible believers think there are witches and wizards? I give my money to my family and bill collectors, not a cult church.

I vote cult. Enough said.

Obvious this person is one of the brain washed "SHEEPS".

Central isn't a Church. It's a corporation with the intent to make money by having the sheep who attend their"EXPERIENCE", not mass...their "SO CALLED EXPERIENCE", donate 10% of their earning to the Central company.

Friday's they have "so called" recovery group so the central company is able to receive Government funding. They have a child care center for the SHEEPS to leave their kids while the sheep attend the recovery group session, and their have been times where the men's sexual offenders group meeting is less than 100 feet from the child care area.The heads of central company instilled the Disney Blue Print of having their SHEEPS who work or volunteer for the company to constantly repeat "WELCOME TO CENTRAL" so as to leave a subliminal message in the attending SHEEPS.

The objective was that if a person hear a certain message 10 times within a short span of time that message would be burned into their memory. Is that concept the approach of a church or a cult?

It's an important question because Jesus (God) was at a wedding and didn't officiate (Matt. 2) .

He actually told his mom he didn't underastand what the fuss was all about. But baptist make a huge deal of state sponsored marriage, even though it's only purpose is to protect wealth, which God condemns.

I'd actually really like to know if this is a Church that will perform an actual, biblical marriage: one that doesn't need to be sanctioned by worldly, venal, pagan family courts but is, instead, just between God and the couple, without the State being involved at all.

Every time I hear a pastor say that the state has vested it's power in him to perform a wedding, I cringe.

That's God's power, not the state's. The state is wicked by nature.

1 Corinthians 6 - the scripture is pretty clear: asking a judge to preside over a spiritual matter between believers is forbidden:

Lawsuits Among Believers

6 If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people? 2 Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world?

And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church?

Rom. 13-14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Divorce in front of a judge is nothing but two people gratifying their desires. What if they never made provision for that temptation.

Baptists are a little un-literal all the sudden when it comes to the wordy expression of love called state marriage. Well, the law doesn't require it any more. Again, according to Paul, that means it isn't required. The law doesn't require it.

The bible condemns it.

Seems like God's actually setting us free from the IRS defining what a family is.

You don't have to donate 10% taking out of context from the bible. That church is brainwashing you and cares about money.

You think that's all? Wait till they control your bonus or until time for 'special contribution'.

Oh wait, how about how you date, who you date, how many times you date and what you should do/not do when you date. Also they make you obey the 'law' that church meetings are much much much more important than your company meeting, or deadline on the job, school activities, exam, mother/father's death or hospitalization, etc. They say if you did not attend church for a month, then you are no longer a member (since when did Jesus did that?????) Question them and they'll 'burn' you, making sure you never questioned again. Then when you found the right partner, how you get married, where to go for honeymoon, how much money to spend, when to buy a house (regardless of how much money you have), and how you should have 'physical' activity with you partner.

Oh yes, then when you have kids, how you should bring them up and discipline them (without respect for you or your family's background). They also persecute you when you do not have visitors, hand in a written sin list, and announce/denounce them in front of the whole congregation (with the visitors or outsiders among them), shaming you and degrading your position as a human being. They want to control every aspect of your life and your children's lives, your money, plus make (and insist) you go against your family/friends (I believe it's so you must depend on the 'church' for emotional support). There's more, much more, might fill 10 pages.

I left after 4 years, went back for about a year, then left again.....shake my head now. I should never have stepped in the church in the first place!

Regret all my life now. I'm glad I'm strong enough to stay happy and not get sucked into their invisible condemnation.
