I would like to confirm that what John D. stated about comments made about African Americans over the pulpit is correct. I am African American myself and have often heard racist comments being made about Blacks. Many of us have personally seen him make monkey gestures during one of his sermons as he stated that "hip hop music is "monkey music." I have also heard negative comments being made about African American women wearing braids and about mixed marriages. I have had a questionable experience in which a church member noticing my grandparents nice home asked how a "nigger got a house like that?"
When I brought this issue to Rev. Kekel's attention it was swept under the rug. He made it appear as if I was the one in the wrong. He personally told me that, "I shouldn't have gotten offended." He would just tell people that I had heart issues.
Sir we can't all be wrong. There are way too many in agreement that have left NTCC. Honestly sir, it looks to me like the only one with a heart issue is Rev. Kekel himself. I believed that this man loved me and my family. He destroyed my belief in him and in their organization. I and my family have since left. We are attending a new church where we are valued. God knows that what many are saying is true and we are not just "bitter people looking for revenge." What would be the point in doing that? That would be fruitless. Many of us are hoping to spare others a "look behind the fence". We that have left all know what goes on behind the fence and it isn't pretty. Save yourself the gas, the time and the money and don't bother visiting this church.

As usual that is another "Real Story" about life in the NTCC. I suppose this lady is lying as well. Do you think? I copied this excerpt from "The Dispatch" and pasted it here on this blog. A link to the dispatch can be found in the thread immediately below. This is yet another example of one of the many reasons why I left the NTCC and why this blog exists. The NTCC leadership "OWES" folks some serious apologies with Monique not being the least of which who's deserving one. Unfortunately it will probably never happen. All fancy rhetoric aside; it really is sad when this type of conduct exists in what is supposed to be a Christian church. The NTCC leadership should be ashamed while making dire attempts to rectify and fix this highly unhealthy and hurtful situation that clearly exists within their corporation / organization.
