I love my church. I moved to Cypress 2 years ago and joined the church. My daughter loves the children’s group and begs to stay at church all day. The people are so welcoming and kind. Their events are community driven. It’s a wonderful church.

Hmm not sure whatvthe problem is at this church. But people seem upset. I recently moved to this side of town. Went out for a run. I crossed paths with this church( catholic me ). Was curious about it looked it up. Seems there is internal problems. Something that makes a church or chapel is the community. We the people run things not ones individual Something people forget. Anyway i sit at the chairs out side pray and do the sacred blood of Jesus. Need more prayers people 🙏. One for the world and one for the churches one for one another.

How can A church that preaches about Unity, Fellowship, Compassion, and as there recent sermon this sunday "Love like Jesus". Fire a Pastor Infront of the Congregation. If there is an Issue things need to be Done in private and Dealt with in Private. There is a way & Time for these kind of things. I personally do not attend here anymore (Spanish), but I was always attending online. And to hear That these pastors were fired, not even warned But right Infront of the Congregation without a reason. Hurts my heart. How can we call ourselves Christians and treat ppl this way. This is how we as ppl (living word church) . Show Other ppl that don't go to church that this is how we treat others, including the ppl in church. Because of these Loving pastors, my Husband and I have always Seeked a church and God everywhere we went. They Helped & Prayed for me when I was a depressed 17 year old. & Never felt judged when I was a teen mom, they helped me when I got kicked out, Baptized I and my husband at 18, they helped me to Grow as the woman I am today. We have always been Grateful for the Congregation Who stepped in and helped us Know what Love is. (Living word English) You are just proving everyone in and out of Church. How unloving church Folks are. Praying!!! 🙏🏻

The Spanish service from this last Sunday march 1st 2025. Was very shocking and unjust. Pastor Guillermo was treated unfairly and was wrongly done when a decision of his termination as the lead pastor of the Spanish minister was announced, in-front of his congregation without him being given a chance to address this announcement to his followers of many years.Pastor Freddy announced pastor Guillermo last day without being made known to pastor Guillermo first. Instead it was addressed in-front of everyone on the spot. Leaving a bad taste to the Spanish community. I’ve been attending to this church for over 10 years. There’s very little to nothing that, the English community does for the Spanish Community. However, pastor Guillermo has been the rock to his congregation. He has been a loyal pastor, brother and leader. Everything he does resembles his commitment to God and his minister. What happened this past Sunday was unacceptable and unfair. As a believer, I do not believe this sits well in Gods eyes. I can say that many from the Spanish service including me will no longer be attending to a church that pays no attention to the Spanish community, but only makes decision for us without ever consulting or taking our voices to consideration.

Trunk or Treat was amazing. The church members were genuinely kind, HAPPY to see every family and individual present. You could feel the love and intention. Considering attending church again after this interaction. They also do a Christmas Event we will DEFINITELY attend.
