Steven Furtick said, “If you know Jesus, I’m sorry to break it to you, this church is not for you.” This is one of the foundational flaws within the megachurch methodology. I will elaborate on my concerns about Elevation below.Įlevation Church is a business, not a church.

In fact, Elevation Church is not a true church, Steven Furtick is not a true pastor, and the “Worship Experience” is not true worship. This was reminiscent of our recent visit to Mars Hill Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The moment I handed out a single business size card about how Elevation is unbiblical, an older Elevation security volunteer came out and asked me not to hand out any material. Eventually I told him I believed Elevation Church was unbiblical and urged him to watch our video which he accepted.Īfter the “Worship Experience” was dismissed, my children and I headed outside to hopefully reach some people on their way out. An Elevation usher also approached me in the lobby and asked me several questions. This was definitely not like any “church” he had seen. The loud techno music outside and activity in the lobby was overwhelming to my six-year-old son who asked if we could leave soon. I told them about how we are traveling across the country sharing the gospel and gave them both copies of the Church of Tares DVD, which contains many clips and critiques of their leader “Pastor” Steven Furtick. “On Sunday, I took two of my children with me to rescue the lost from a “Worship Experience” of Elevation “Church” at one of the nine locations in North Carolina. Two greeters approached us at the doors who gave my children “ekidz” slap bracelets and began asking me questions.
