Thoughts on ACTS 29 Church (or other toxic pastors)
Just a serious question (I’m a Catholic, btw; I was only invited to Acts 29 Church in Alabang by my ex-boyfriend and attended about 4 Sundays I guess).
I’m just curious what happened to Acts 29 Church because when I got my first invitation, they were located in a hotel in Alabang. Then their community got big so they opened and transferred in Festival Mall. I think their stay lasted for like a year in Festival Mall.
Out of curiosity, I started looking at the facebook posts of the pastor’s wife and was really shocked at how lavish their lives are. All their 4 kids are attending La Salle Zobel, they were in & out of the country (all of them) going to US (knowing how pricey flight tickets could be).
This made me think, is Acts 29 Church only a BUSINESS for this family? Because, here’s the exciting part:
In 2025, I’ve been seeing fewer post on the page of Acts 29. And from Festival Mall, they were now only gathering at small cafes and restaurants with very few followers (approximately about 15-30 followers every worship). I also checked the fb account of most of the “elders” of the church, and you know what, all of them LEFT Acts 29.
They however, transferred to a newly built church also in Alabang called as “Oaks Community Church”. And the pastor in Acts 29, was nowhere to be seen in any of the Acts 29’s page.
And this smells something fishy. I think the elders left Acts because it’s already becoming a business for this pastor’s family rather than building a Christian community and upholding the values and teachings.
What are your thoughts on this?
