C3 Hope Church

What a warm and loving welcome this morning. Great to worship God here and soak in his word. The elevator music played CONTINUALLY while people were on stage speaking before the preach was so irritating for me, not everyone has perfect hearing, it made it difficult to hear the announcements being shared by the speakers Beautiful Church family though and really deserves 5

All I can say is the reply to Richard T's post is too little too late. Meanwhile there are lots of emotionally, mentally and spiritually scarred people who have been driven from Christianity by the toxic and abusive environment that is Hype, I mean Hope City Church. The whole thing should be shut down.

After a tough season of major change in leadership and culture, and the founding pastors resigning and going back to Australia a few years ago, C3 Hope has regenerated into an authentic Christian community, with a great expression of sound Biblical faith. An incredibly diverse congregation meets in person each week and regular Alpha Courses are great for people who are curious about God and who Jesus Christ actually is.

Despite claiming to have changed since Dave and Jen left, this 'church' has attached themselves even more firmly to the C3 network which has been surrounded by a number of controversies in Australia (See current affair news reports). They still teach the prosperity gospel and coerce people to give money to them. Dave and Jen Gilpin were not the sole problem there and there were a number of abusive lieutenants and pastors who are still there now. As far as I am aware, of the hundreds and hundreds of people damaged by this cult, nobody has ever received any individual apology for the abuse and grooming they suffered under them and City Hearts. They may have changed (or claim to have changed) But the whole culture of the place is so entangled in coercion and exploitation I highly highly doubt this place is healthy. EDIT: I like the way you pointed out the number of reviews I left, subtly implying that I was the issue for not letting go. The reason I have left so many reviews is because lots of the others are too scared to speak out and people need to be warned about C3. I still get calls and messages from people who have had their lives ruined by your church. I would happily talk to you if I felt it would bare much fruit, but it won't as you don't seem to see any issue with being part of the C3 movement. It's an insult to all those people who have been damaged by this 'church' that you clung on to C3 during all the recent controversies.
