Welcome to the website! Hopefully you find it informative, instructional and healing!

Mariners Church seems to have lost their identity as a nurturing local congregation and appears to be changing into a media brand, all the while neglecting its attendees. It wasn't that long ago that the whole weekend volunteer team became disillusioned and walked off. They've had close to a dozen staff leave the preschool over toxic leadership (allegedly). Elders and long term volunteers are leaving. Long standing bible studies and communities of people were kicked off campus. Too many good men and women are getting cancelled, silenced and pushed out of the congregation. This megachurch has become a mega bummer for many people. In its wake, Mariners Church has broken communities of believers and damaged hearts strewn all over the place. Has their pride overwhelmed their ability to love their church family well?

This site is for you to share your voice! You don't have to feel run over by Mariners anymore. If you have experienced behavior that doesn't fall in line with Matt 22:37-40, you are invited to share your story here. Many know how damaging and hurtful this unkind, toxic and abusive behavior can be. Tell Your Story! People Do Care About You!

Gossiping, Lack of Confidentiality

Post by Blessed1 »

I've been attending a few years. I am amazed that I experienced this on more than one occasion and with more than one person who works at Mariners. I thought I was having a private confidential conversation with them only to find out what I shared had been shared with other people at the church. This is so inappropriate and put stress into relationships that did not need to be there. I thought you were supposed to be able to trust a pastor or church leader to have privacy and discretion. Be careful what you share this is not the norm here
