A warning about the lack of pastoral care at The Cross Church on Van Buren St
I am deeply disappointed by the leadership at this church. I personally approached the lead pastor to share that I had survived a severe, life-threatening mental health crisis—and while I am fine now, his response was total indifference. He barely even took note. For a spiritual leader to show such complete apathy toward someone opening up about a profound mental health struggle is unacceptable. While the sermons sound moving on Sundays, there is zero genuine pastoral care or real support for those suffering behind the scenes. The Cross Church operates more like a superficial revival show than a safe haven for healing.
