Shepherd Church

Love love love this church with its incredible singers and service by Dudley Rutherford, senior pastor.
You come out feeling elated and more knowledgeable about Christ and the Bible.
Pastor Dudley is truly anointed and cares about his congregation. We know of personal experience.
Experience this church!!

We appear to be in an age focused on wealth and profit, where even our Churches are run by men and women with a reckless focus on gaining more at the expense of all of us.

To understand why I say the above: I suggest that you simply look up where the Pastor of this Church lives. His name is Dudley C. Rutherford and he lives in Porter Ranch. When I saw his house via Google Maps I could not believe that a Pastor could afford a mansion in an exclusive gated Porter Ranch community.... You can even see how his amazing house looks from the inside by looking at the houses for sale in his neighborhood via Realtor.com. It makes one wonder what percentage is taken from the offering buckets and given to this man to fund his lavish lifestyle.


I am reminded of Jesus and his reaction to the money changers in the temple.
Please read John 2:14 -16.

and

Mathew 6:24
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

There should be a law that stops these mega church pastors from enriching themselves through 501(c3) or other nonprofit entities..... The pretense/appearance of Christianity but the reality of wealth accumulation.

To really drive this home: We have people living under the freeway overpasses only a few miles from this Church and where this man lives.... it hurts to comprehend it.

Dudley stop taking beyond your share of Christian gifts and offerings. You are victimizing Christians. If you really are a Pastor you must stop enriching yourself from your congregation and be the Christian you were meant to be. Use the money from the offering to help the homeless and people hurting financially in your own church.

There are many homeless who are lost human beings created by God that live only mile or two from your amazing mansion that is bought and paid for by Christian offerings.

This is an awesome church! Pasture Dudley is a wonderful and captivating speaker and the worship team makes you want to dance for the Lord!
