  If you want a good show and a preacher who gives fancy sermons go there. If you want them to make you feel good go there. Just realize this church like so many isn't really interested in providing you truth - 100% truth. They are interested in keeping people dumbed down and passive and on a never ending quest to be a "perfect" Christian like their pastor.
  Never yoke yourself to any pastor because he can tell you lies and you'll believe him (and I'll concede maybe he doesn't even realize he's lying). But if the pastor was really interested in you and your families he would never allow the church to completely revolve around him as it does. But since Mr Smith has become a star in Christendom (and this church loves it) I wouldn't expect much in the way of learning a whole lot of truth here.
  
  Over the many years churches including this one have done enormous damage to many people - even children. This pastor will give nice sermons with his Scottish accent but it's what he leaves out that is troubling and which the pew sitters are entitled to know as it pertains to their knowledge and understanding of truth and reality. I don't think it pleases the Lord when churches sermonize the believers to death on things that don't really matter. I grew up going to this church and I know the damage the Evangelical church can do as well as the false doctrines and teachings they present as facts.
  
  I'm not just picking on this church as most are the same way.
  Go at your own risk - it all depends on what your looking for.

  Don't know why I would want to talk to one of your pastors. I know the game they play. Just because they went to divinity school and are in the profession doesn't mean anything. Divinity schools, like Christianity have long been corrupted. Even the Bible is only about 75% accurate and original - the remaining has been perverted, altered, made up, parts removed, parts inserted and etc . . . . They never taught us that in church.
  
  Besides I'm not going to embarrass my surviving parent because I know how gossip spreads like wildfire in that church and the church hierarchy doesn't take kindly to being exposed or questioned.
  "Did you hear so and so's son said bad things about our church and Pastor Colin?" Well so and so's son only told it like it is and everything I wrote is true.
  
  You have a big business there and a large following. You also attempt to solicit donations from elderly and infirm former attendees who's minds can't remember what day it is or who they are. Why don't you do the proper thing and stop that practice !
  
  Your pastor isn't unlocking anything, he's only continuing the process of keeping the obeying sheep locked up in mind control bondage and he may not even know it or maybe he does. The church is putty in Satan's hands and Christians don't even know it. You can bet on that.

  Main campus of The Orchard churches. Newly renovated to be more inviting to those who may have not been to church in awhile. Great pastors and uplifting worship music.
