Been a member for over 5 years now and was incredibly inspired and motivated for the first 4. For the past year they started taping the services because we are such a large church and Pastor Don was being over worked, absolutely understandable. We didn't mind driving our 40 minutes to church, (great worship music) in order to only watch a video of our Pastor; we believed it to be temporary. The message was always inspirational and delivered something redeeming, so we continued going. So when they dropped in Pastor Mark  one Sunday as the \"teaching Pastor\" it was a surprise. Didn't know if he temporary or what, only knew that he was in fact coming to us live. As weekly church goers it occurred to us although Pastor Mark was a man of God, he did not have the same gifting of Pastor Don and it was clear there was going to be a trade off.-but at least we had a Pastor in person. Fast forward; the last 2 services we attended we watched Pastor Mark coming to us taped on the big screen Rather disappointing when all things considered we could stream live my brother -law's message from the pulpit in California while saving ourselves an hour and a half commute time. The entire church  has grown so large and expanded that it feels to have fragmented the church. It's just odd sitting there now with half the people filling the seats watching a video. Not what I believed church planting was supposed to actually be. Although we are tithing and still consider this our home church, it doesn't feel like home. It makes me sad.
