Shouldn’t Christians treat all people with respect, regardless of their sexual orientation?
Absolutely. The Bible says: “Honor men of all sorts” or, as Today’s English Version renders it, “Respect everyone.” (1 Peter 2:17) Therefore, Christians are not homophobic. They show kindness to all people, including those who are gay.—Matthew 7:12.

They need to treat everyone with respect. They have a problem with Judging others. Here is what the Bible says about Judging others. Jesus’ command not to judge others is one of the most widely quoted of His sayings, even though it is frequently quoted in disregard of its context. Here is Jesus’ statement: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged” (Matthew 7:1). Many people use this verse in an attempt to silence their critics, interpreting Jesus’ meaning as “You don’t have the right to tell me I’m wrong.” Taken alone, Jesus’ command “Do not judge” does seem to preclude making negative assessments of others. However, there is much more to the passage than those three words.
The Bible’s command that we not judge others does not mean we cannot show discernment. Immediately after Jesus says, “Do not judge,” He says, “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs” (Matthew 7:6). A little later in the same sermon, He says, “Watch out for false prophets. . . . By their fruit you will recognize them” (verses 15–16). How are we to discern who are the “dogs” and “pigs” and “false prophets” unless we have the ability to make a judgment call on doctrines and deeds? Jesus is giving us permission to tell right from wrong.

I was an attender and a member since 1963. I was banned from the church because I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community. I was threatened with arrest if I ever return. I would not recommend this church under it's current leadership. The church was not always like this. Under different leadership this church was welcoming to all people. A new culture has risen in this church. One of hate and intolerance. I hope it changes for the better soon .

We go to church there and love the pastor. Always a good message from God. When he speaks you can hear a pin drop on the other side of the church. Great music and singing also. It's the place to worship.
