Plagiarism

Most of this article looks like it was simply cut and pasted from the church's official website. That's a wiki-no-no.--BillFlis (talk) 13:07, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

needs to be encyclopedic

while i appreciate the relevance of this article, it's not encyclopedic at all. it needs a major rewrite if it is to remain on wikipedia. as it is, it reads like a promotional website, which is fine on your own site, but is just not appropriate for wikipedia.
some things to keep in mind:

don't write in first person. i.e. "our church" and "we"

cite reputable references.

stick to statements of fact. that is to say empirical statements, not faith based statements, i.e. "by the grace of our loving God"

Almost all of the "Today" section does not follow these guidelines.

This article needs considerable effort (see comments above), and it seems like it has not been improved. --DThomsen8 (talk) 21:35, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
