I'm curious if anyone here knows more about this place. I've talked to a girl who was involved there and got out and said she had never felt so much pressure to give money. Others seem to feel the same way. Reports are that the lead pastor forces people out who disagree with him and has friends still involved in the church shun anyone who has left, and makes decisions over things such as marriage and other lifestyle choices for members:

Here's a YouTube clip where the lead pastor gives a sermon asking some to give their entire 401ks to the chuch, and some to do things like sell their car or possessions to donate: [www.youtube.com]

Anyone have any more info or first hand experience? I was a little shocked to find a place like Mark Driscoll's Mars Hill here in Minnesota.
