Penn Ave Redemption United Methodist

They kicked me out for bringing Sugar in a bag, they said it looked like cocaine and that they will not allow that in their “Church”…. I told them they could taste it but instead threatened to call the cops on me. The pastor dude came out and just kept interrupting me every time I tried to answer a question. I thought he was a child of God? Yeah, my experience with this church has been awful and will HIGHLY not recommend to anyone… especially if you’re not white.

Wow ... how dare this people used the name of God after behaving in such of discriminative and shameful way.
What can we expect from this ignorant pathetic poor excuse of a man behaving in such of prepotent self glorify matter.
Educate yourself God made people of all shapes and colors not just your kind or color.
Hispanic culture it's full of flavors and colors, sharing food it's our way to share part of our culture and show we care about the people we share it with. .!
Do better, and I hope that you never ever call your selfs people of God because you obviously don't have God in your hearts. !!

Why don't you cowards just do a public apology to the woman who attendes this pathetic excuse for a church! that is the first thing you SHOULD HAVE DONE! especially your sorry excuse for a pastor chill chill chill im laughing inside as he is a red flag as a man you like to gas light people. You think anyone cares if your giving a sermon in the next room. Godly people huh seem like full fledged racism too me. This is your karma and only the beginning truly enlighten people see past your ugliness only godly people know how to difuse a situation where someone was racially profiled! I hope this continues until you learn your lesson truly! I'll be happy to continue to help that poor girl out that you wrongfully accused of bringing drugs in a bunch of idiots you are can't tell what a vegetable is from actual man made drugs and hm Marijuana that's Legal in most states. Bunch incompetent people!

Unfortunately this “church” is similar to Ephesus of the 7 churches. Multiple staff members had wrongly accused a lovely mother of bringing “weed” into the facility. They falsely accused her. In actuality she had brought a meal for her and her daughter that included cilantro. Staff apparently didn’t know what cilantro was and continued to say that it was marijuana. They proceeded to caused a very large scene and had called law enforcement. This young lady was pleating the truth, staff and “pastor” had no remorse. Pastor did not resolve situation, he made it worse. As I see it even if it had been drugs, Christians are to help those in need and bring them closer to Jesus Christ our savior. We are to help others, not lie and cause negative impact on their lives. In all this “church” seems to be negatively impacting others and perceiving that Christians are harmful.

this location accused a latina/mexican woman of “smuggling drugs” and the entire time it was food seasoning (cilantro/oregano) and they refused to listen to her, threw her food away/refused to give it to her. what if that was all she had left? how are these people of God? how embarrassing, they didn’t listen to what she had to say at all. you think if you trained your entire life and your CAREER was to be a pastor you’d know how to handle these types of situations instead of taking all your social media down when people find out about the situation. i saw the videos on tiktok, instagram and reddit.

Racist people!! Don’t go here if you like to season you’re food with anything other than salt and pepper. Ashamed and embarrassed for the pastor as well. And withholding someone’s food wow!

Pastor Brad let his cult member accuse a young women of bringing drug into the facility, which was not true. Instead of being a man of GOD and compassion and reason. He allowed them to attack her and he never checked to rule out what was being said. I do not recommend this church at all they do not serve the Lord purpose more like Satans work they are doing.

They kicked out a woman and accused her of having drugs because they didn't know what cilantro was. Horrible place. If Jesus were alive he'd tell you not to show up here for worship.

I am sad to see a video where the Pastor if you want to call him that made a woman feel guilty for him having to stop his service in order to handle his church staff… hmmm maybe you were telling the wrong person to CHILL! Wow! Where was the unconditional love and understanding? You Pastor yes you are the type of person that causes people to stay away from church when your doors should be open to anyone at anytime! Shame!

Hostile, racist, ignorant. Pretty much sums up this hell hole. No good Christian would ever treat anyone like this but a bunch of racist ignorant humans would. Definitely recommend coming here to get racially profiled and humiliated for absolutely no reason. Pathetic.

0 star rating!! Racial profiling pos hypocrites would not recommend

The staff at this place called me a redskin, then started throwing bibles screaming that I was a “Savage” at me telling me to vacate. When the pastor finally came in he said it was my fault because I was born the wrong color and a woman.

Racist and racially profile a poor woman for her cultural food saying she has drugs and threatened to call police and making her cry just because she had oregano for her food as a garnish for a traditional dish and is very upsetting

Don’t bring cilantro in their church or you’ll get kicked out!

All they care about is the façade of love and Christian values. Maybe one day they will live by the Word of God instead of in service of their own comfort and pride.

Ephesians 4:32 ESV

“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”

This place is DISGUSTING. The staff humiliated, racially profiled and discarded a girl for bringing food with CILANTRO a seasoning of all things. Even the Pastor should be ashamed of his behavior. Unqualified to be leading anyone and the entire staff should be brought up on criminal charges. If you're looking for a Church home I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere because this is not it!

Only come here if you don’t use seasonings or herbs of any kind, wash your chicken, and refuse to follow the teaching of God. Anti-Christ colonizer energy.

accusing people of smuggling drugs , when it’s literally just cilantro. jumped to conclusions way too fast bc of someone’s race ? pathetic. learn your seasonings and CHILL. 10/10 don’t recommend.

This church wouldn't let a women in because she had Cilantro! They accused her of having weed. Real Christians would not allow others to be discriminated against!

Very racist, unprofessional
