What people say about Backus Church of the Nazarene

  • Pastor John you must be doing something oh, so right to have gained the interest of a few hate mongers. God continue to bless you and your ministry!!

  • Run for the hills as this church does not recognize John 3:16. Lead by a misguided Pastor who seems to believe he sits at the right hand of the Father.

  • People are hurting and suffering under Pastor John and his religion of hate. I wish the Board would find a new pastor!!

  • According to Pastor John, accepting Jesus is not enough. Unless you give him all your money he will not profess your salvation! This Pastor needs to go. Prayers for all the families he has hurt over the years!!

  • Simply no words. I will never return to this cult lead by Pastor John and his hateful words.

  • Wow has this church changed under Pastor John and his message of hate. It’s sad to see a Pastor that believes he is God himself based on his own interpretation of the Bible. All he cares about is donations to his church expansion which he wants all the credit for.

  • This church’s Pastor does not recognize John 3:16 which is sad. According to Pastor John belief in Jesus is not enough and you can lose your salvation. He makes sure to bring this up after one of your loved ones passes away at their service. This is NOT your parents and grandparents Nazarene church any longer. So sad to see.

  • I am sad to report that I love nothing about this church since John took over. He is a terrible pastor and adds things to the Bible that simply are not true like his personal belief that you can lose your salvation if John is thrown out of your house when you make an unannounced visit and use “choice” words at him. John has no filter and seems to enjoy causing pain to grieving families. The Backus liquor store is just across 371 John. You would be better serving the good citizens of Backus in a business you are very familiar with. Pastoring is simply not your call!!!

  • We are a church of people who love one another, love our pastor and appreciate his love for us and the community our church serves. He is a gifted preacher whose sermons touch the hearts of all of us.

  • John has to be the worst and most disrespectful pastor I’ve witnessed. Honestly the worst sermon I’ve ever been to. Uninspired, irrelevant, sloppy, and full of gossip. Since John took over, this place has gone downhill.
