Here is what you're looking at and asking about:
Money & Tithing - Where does your money go when you give to the Crossing?
Eric & Kelly's lifestyle is the first thing the comes into question. The travel, the homes, the cars, the vacations. It's all right there. Ask for their salaries? You will be shot down.

started attending Eagle Brook church, it is night and day from the Crossing. Mature Pastors and not a massive money grab. I notice a few former Crossing Creative folks playing in their bands as well. The Kelly show continues, new shoes every week and a new trip every month.
We've switched to Eagle Brook as well. I'm old fashioned and have had to get used to the idea of a "production" on stage. The longer you're there, and the more used to it you get, the more it becomes just worship time. At any rate, it's a lot more comfortable there than most churches we've gone to. I love the genuine and humble talks. Never guilted about money. A good, safe place to land if you've had any issues as described above.
I personally was hurt by someone from this church.. they manipulated, deceived, and played me for a fool, all while praying and bringing up Jesus all the time. When I confronted them, they completely ignored me! Nothing to say at all. So I suppose Jesus just forgives them, and my pain doesn't matter? Their slogan is Guilt Free, Grace Full- I wonder if this has anything to do with this church goers behavior??
Since when aren't people allowed to drive cars or have them. Vacations as well. Next what they can't eat of feed their families either? They've treated my family kindly & have come to the help of us when we needed them. When you sit in service all cool or warm where do you think that $$ comes from to pay for those pleasures. A community of church goers. Remember it takes a village. Sounds like envy your spewing. Ya'all need JESUS!
Hey fucker - I was a pastor's kid so I know exactly where the money comes from. Yes, have a car, home, vacations. What's I'm pointing out is the excess. Happy atheist, but thank you.
