Best Church in Canada

N	Natalie Yeung on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not a great community. The people here are unfriendly. You have to have a type A personality and be the first to engage with others if you want them to talk to you. That’s what Tim Quek, the founder of this church and former senior pastor preached. I’m sad that he moved on to another church. Not only is the hypocrisy unbearable in this environment, The clergy can care less about you but you can find a few supporters. I never went back here but thank God I know who is Jesus and it's so important to be like him. I pray that this church will start behaving more like Chirst.
E	Eugene Choi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s interesting to see I’m not the only one with issues with this church. My second time attending was mothers day. I wanted to continue to feel the church out before leaving my 8 month old in their care. During the sermon my son says da da and I was asked to go to the overflow room because he was being disruptive. After speaking to the head volunteer and him insisting my son was disruptive I decided to leave and never go back. This church has strange rules. They want u to leave ur child with the daycare or u have to sit in the overflow room. AND when you the sermon starts you cannot leave for a bathroom break or even check on your child and return to the sanctuary. I went out during my first visit and they almost didn’t let me back in!! It’s something strange about this church. They say they are family friendly but that’s not the case. If you go with a young child just know putting your child in their care is a requirement if you want to worship there, not an option.
J	Julian Park on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have never felt so ashamed to be a Christian. It has been 4 ½ years since this church rejected my daughter because she has down syndrome. We were told we either had to miss the service and attend Sunday school with her, or employ a blue carded Carers to accompany her. This was for a beautiful 4 year old little girl. It certainly drove home the reason I had noticed so few disabled congregants. This experience left me so jaded, that the only times I have set foot inside a church since has been for a wedding, a couple of funerals and a baptism. The fear of going through something like this again is too painful for me to face.
J	Julian Park on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Edit: Spam bots are REALLY here. Someone who claimed to be me wrote a review not by me… (I don’t have a daughter!) I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of the SComm community for ~4 months now. While not an official member yet, I’ve felt blessed by both the laypeople and leadership, and hoping to park here for some time. Based on my own observations, the congregation is filled with gospel-loving and community-centric people supporting those deep into the mission field. Recently, the church has taken a Love in Action initiative to encourage more community-minded serving. From a newcomer’s perspective, the SComm community are incredibly warm, welcoming and have provided invitations to small groups, discipleship classes, congregational prayer meetings, and ministries, which is something I haven’t received in other places I’ve visited. Pastor Vic has been truly genuine and relational and I can sense his passion for teaching and community building. It truly shows in his leadership and preaching. I don’t claim to know the church’s past history and cause behind the slew of negative reviews, but I would not let that deter you from attending.
M	Melody N on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I visited this church a few times. Each time I didn't see anyone on the platform open a bible or preach. No sermon, just a lot of talking and sharing of personal experiences. I've noticed that the members are very aggressive with visitors. Let me explain this....When I went last year, as I was about to leave, a woman came up & greeted me. She was too aggressive and wanted to know if I enjoyed service, if I was coming back, could she get my contact info etc. I politely told her no, but she just kept pushing, it was really ridiculous because I had to escape her. Well, this year, wasn't any different. This time it was some guy that came up to me, as I was leaving. He started asking me the same questions like the girl from last year but this time I didn't even stop. This guy follows me all the way to the exit, talking to my back, to try to get me to fill out a form. The church seems desperate to keep people from leaving. There's no reason to harass the visitors. If someone is not interested, then leave them alone. If someone wants to join or come back, then they will on their own. The members are too pushy for me. Don’t bother with empty prayer meetings, there ain’t tons of serving activities. There’s no gym as well. Ain’t worth coming.
T	Tanya Wong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have never been to a church where I felt so uncomfortable that I wanted to leave in the middle of the service! I honestly couldn't get out of this church fast enough! The whole sermon was about money! I was absolutely stunned when the pastor said that the people who don't go above and beyond the 10% tithe are "FAKE CHRISTIANS" What kind of pastor says that?! He also says he's actually happy to see the people, that don't give the church tons of money, leave the church. From what I noticed when I was there and what I have read about this church, people will either love or hate this church. It's definitely not for me and I will never return or recommend it to anyone!
J	Jeff Zhang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a message for the parents. PARENTS!! beware of this people, they focus on the youth because they are easy to manipulate. Just because your children go to a church doesn't mean they are learning good things. I attended many years in my youth and was one of many youth who felt guilty for going to college since the leaders expect you to be there 24/7. If you don't they will use psychological tactics, of ignoring you making you feel like an outcast. Being that I come from a troubled household I really wanted to belong somewhere, but every time I attended I left feeling broken. The "pastors" talk to you as long as you do what they say. We were sent to evangelize people when the temperature was 30 degrees outside. I was asked to clean the church in winter with NO HEAT. It was so cold in there!! I was used and disposed of the church when I started to disagree with them. Parents don't let them take over your children because they will try!
N	Nathan Lee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Edit: Real People with Real Pain. Church hides its sins for its benefit. The latter review from Julian Park is fake, he edited his review to hide the fact that the real Julian posted months earlier. Joana wrote that she was paid to write a five stars review. This church experienced a church split when a leader took off with half the congregation to form a new church. They don't want you to know that. Nobody likes to talk about how bad they were. Membership provides 0 benefits. Nothing special about small groups, disciple classes and prayer meetings. Every church has that. I've been to the once a month congregational prayer meetings and the turn out rate is always low ~ Only a few lay people! Less than 10. Encouraging community-minded serving is great. Sometimes the Pastor Vic shows his frustration with the low percentage of volunteers. Really dislike the drums! To think that the church could spend more money to buy a better drum set with the sound wall. I'm not the first one to say this, the people here ask questions like is this immoral or not then they brush it off. This should be a reason not to come here.
