My kids and I where supposed to be baptized January 1st. the date had been pushed up from later in the month. my youngest is on the autistic (non verbal). I asked from the beginning about accommodations being made. they kept going around the topic instead of straight to the point that there was nothing they can do. so I went straight to the point and was like there's no ill feeling i will just find another church that will do it. my feelings where hurt. my boys and I went to a svc when there was a special guest pastor, (he did amazing by the way). and I was considering this place being my kids and I new church home. well since the baptism couldn't work out I will never step a foot again in OCC or its other locations. you don't have to go exactly by man rules. God see and know our heart, and 2022 was the worse year for my family and I and I just felt like us being baptized would have been like a renewing of the overall mind body spirit. I have talked to several people and told them what was going on, they where shocked and didn't know why they would turn away me and my kids. my son is a gift as well as all my kids. and the pastor I talked with was very mean and acted like my son was stupid and he need to learn a few things. I was trying to be as respectful as I could with it being church people. but they was about to get my bad side, cas one thing I don't do is play with my kids. God don't give u no more than u can handle and the guy kept repeating so he is in a special needs class. so he doesn't talk, so he this and that. I just stay quiet and let him talk but I wanted to tell him a few things. until u learn and special needs and kids with disabilities, don't talk to them or their caregivers. u really rubbed me the wrong way. yall are supposed to be workers for the lord not being mean to people who are trying to get a better relationship and understanding. I hope this helps others who will come into contact with this place. I been holding back from not wanting to speak but I'm sure I'm not the only one with a child who is autistic. my son is handsome he understands and he is talent & gifted even tho he cannot communicate with words. I pray one day God will bless my son to use his words but until then, i am going to keep searching for the right church for my kids and I. yall need to look into the hearts of God people instead of looking down on them trying to be something you're not. this ain't potters house, ur not T.D. Jake's. whether my son could raise his hand and say I understand yall shouldn't have made something so small out of a huge misunderstanding. God knows all and I pray nothing but the for this congregation. and by the way the Sunday we came I gave my contact info for someone from special needs to contact me so I can get further info on Saturday church since that was the day they did the class for special needs. no one and I mean no one contacted me, guess it's true a church get to big they care less about the people. it's all for gain for other things they don't really care about saving of God's people. they care about worldly things that you can't take with you when u die. and another thing, I did my zoom class for the baptism and let me tell u, every person that was in there looked at me crazy when I spoke. I felt nothing but disgust when I explained my situation. u shouldn't feel like that. everyone else who spoke they felt for. I thought the church I grew up in was bad, but there's alot of places that put on a front but when u enter they turn they nose up at ya. I am wanting to improve my relationship with the man upstairs and I get this treatment. so it's all about money, designer clothes, big houses, luxury cars. just like the darn celebrities. all for clout not for our savior (smh) I'm done and b4 u come at me, think twice cas the way my mind set up with all I have going on my words won't be positive. I am a single parent now, as my boys no longer have their dad in their life (he made bad choices & lost his family.) whether my kids and I get baptized or not I still will find us a church home that is suited for people like us, for our disabilities and can handle and accept us with our flaws and guide us
