2 /5 Survey Testing: I had a good visit here, the pastor was very warm and friendly as well as the members. I was however, shocked by the blunt and dismissive response I received reaching out to the counseling service team here after sharing a difficult situation and asking for support and help. I figured that serving on a team such as that, empathy and understanding would be expected. I will definitely never use their counseling services, and seek out a more supportive ministry.
You have to be careful of who you confide in and seek help from, and unfortunately that includes the church. You dont want to shut everyone out, but also not be too open either. Discernment is key.
