Most of the recent videos posted on Vimeo and linked on the church's website and Twitter account have had 0 (as in no) views. The church has gone from 2200 members to less than 200. Pastor Scott Wooddell and his Music Minister Jerry Cornish are running people off and that church has gone from dying to collapsing. There are wonderful people there who love that church and I want to help them save it. It is time for open and honest sharing.

I went to the church leadership with grave concerns about the music ministry and the gay bashing music director and the response was retaliation, including this lie-filled email from the pastor to me and many members of the choir and church.

Heather said she was leaving the church if Joy resigned. Joy resigned over a week ago. Heather has left the church, yet continues sending emails. She is not a member and never gave financially to EPCC. She has no vested interest in the well being of our church. Her divisive, demeaning and derogatory comments are contrary to our Christian faith. Our faith teaches us to love, support, and encourage each other and strive for unity, Hopefully we can put this behind us and move forward serving the Lord together.
The Scriptures speak directly to this in Ephesians 6:10-18.
Pastor Scott

Edited to add that I posted this on the church's Facebook page earlier today and now I can't reply as it seems the page was removed. If the pastor had no problem sending out this lie-filled rant to his flock why is it not worthy of being posted? Is he not willing to stand behind what he said???

I got attacked for sharing the following as well. I talked to numerous people that had concerns about the music ministry as I did. I said flat out if the Music Minister Jerry Cornish ran off yet another organist that I was out the door with my music colleague.

Professional organist wrote:

Dear Edith,

My apologies to you for being a week late in sending this letter of resignation. I am sorry that I even have to write this letter. The first time that I played as a substitute organist at Eastridge Park Christian Church, I determined that I never would return. I had been so poorly treated by the director of music that I left feeling highly disturbed and very much insulted. However, I could see immediately that this was a music program that was in a world of trouble. Therefore, when Jerry Cornish asked me if I would again substitute soon after, I relented and came back. He contacted me a few times over the next two months, and I told him I was not available to play for him again until September 1. I knew nothing of the history of the church, how long Mr. Cornish had been there, his qualifications to direct, or anything else. My bad. I should have done my homework and followed my first inclination to not return, because within a few minutes of the first choir rehearsal, it was clear that I was working with someone who is totally ignorant in all aspects of the field of church music. To be ignorant of a subject is not a crime, but to pretend that one is knowledgeable and competent, and then to not be able to acknowledge the truth about one's capabilities, is to shamelessly lie.

To continue to take orders from someone clearly incapable of giving sensible direction in a job that is my area of expertise is excruciatingly painful. A person with my level of education in this field follows protocols. I will not risk my professional reputation to follow the whims of a very insensitive, inexperienced, smug and tasteless director. To do so is akin to an experienced obstetrician taking direction and orders from a country, self-trained mid-wife. I have not come this far in my profession to submit to such treatment. And I am fully aware that the last meeting I attended with you was engineered to force my resignation, because it is clear that Jerry does not want anyone working in the music department who has credentials that he himself does not possess. And it is very sad that the top leader in the church, meaning the Pastor, refuses to admit that there are severe deficiencies, and would apparently risk losing his entire church over the silliness that the director introduces on a weekly basis.

I am not leaving because the distance I travel is too great, or even because the church leaders claim that they want to go to a more contemporary service. I have done plenty of contemporary services, I have done plenty of blended services. But the services I have attended at EPCC are not contemporary or blended. They are a complete disaster, lacking appropriateness, dignity, and preparation. There is not one piece of music that I have refused to play, but the quality of 99% of the music I have performed with the choir and the congregation has been very poor.. It is not my lack of cooperation in the music that has caused me to resign. I resigned because I was blindsided about Isabel, or anyone else, playing the piano while I play the organ. There are a myriad of reasons why this is not a good idea. I worked with Jerry for at least six weeks, allowing this to take place, and I quietly went along with the program. Jerry knew how I felt about it, but refused to make any concessions on his part. That, alone, is the mark of a very poor leader. The level of cooperation and respect that I was shown was zero. Both Jerry and the Pastor are completely ignorant about what it takes to introduce and maintain a contemporary service, or about proper musical procedures in any type of service. I cannot work in such an atmosphere of ignorance.

I was very happy with my relationship with the choir, and my contacts with members of the congregation were delightful. It was their love and appreciation that kept me coming, even though I knew my term of service was rapidly turning into a losing proposition. I will always remember the warmth and kindnesses extended to me.

You may not be happy with the content of this letter, but I have been completely honest, and with no wish to offend. I pray that God will be with each member of the Eastridge Park Christian Church community.

Sincerely,

Dear Unity Choir,

You may have received an e-mail, text or phone call from one or more persons yesterday regarding J's resignation that was inaccurate and misleading. I am sending this e-mail to give you the facts regarding J's resignation.

Pastor Scott, Brad Eames (Chair of the Board) and myself (Vice-chair of the board & chair of personnel) decided that we needed to meet with J due to some issues that had come to our attention and see if we could work them out. We met yesterday after church. Pastor Scott, Brad and I first met with Jerry Cornish to discuss the issues. Jerry, being the gracious and positive person that he is, was willing to try to continue working with J on these issues. He then left the meeting and J joined the meeting. To help you understand the situation, our leadership and elders have a plan to revitalize our church and get it back on track to a church that is growing in numbers and growing in the spirit of God. J was not on board with portions of this plan and chose to resign, rather than to compromise. We parted on good terms. Let me be clear that Jerry had nothing to do with her resignation.

I am asking that if you know of anyone that is spreading rumors or talking negatively about our church and church staff, please ask them to stop.

Please keep our music ministry and EPCC in your prayers as we progress through the revitalization of EPCC.

In Christ,

Edith Smith
Why should that resignation letter that is truthful be secret? The lies, incompetence and abuse are what are destroying that church. Edith has been caught lying and she thinks she can bully everyone into silence when it is quite obvious that Jerry Cornish has been running off the organists. I will not be silenced.

.....First, does the leadership invite dialogue, advice, evaluation, and questions from outside its immediate circle? Authoritarian pastors are threatened by any diverse opinions whether from inside or outside the group. Group members are discouraged from asking hard questions. The rule is, don’t ask questions and don’t make waves. A healthy pastor welcomes even tough questions, whereas in an unhealthy church disagreement with the pastor is considered disloyalty and is virtually equal to disobeying God. Spiritual language is used to disguise the manipulation that is going on. Questioners are labeled rebellious, insubordinate, and disruptive to the harmony of the body. Attempts are made to shut them down. The only way to succeed is to go along with the agenda, support the leaders, scorn those who disagree.

Second, is there a system of accountability or does the pastor keep full control? Authoritarian pastors do not desire a system of accountability. They may have a board but it consists of yes-men whom he ultimately selects......

Fifth, does the group encourage independent thinking, developing discernment skills, and creation of new ideas? Abusive churches resort to using pressure to have followers conform, and there is a low tolerance for any kind of difference in belief.....

A MAJOR PART OF CREATING AN OPEN ATMOSPHERE IN CHURCH IS TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE SYSTEMS OF ACCOUNTABILITY IN PLACE FOR EVERYONE IN LEADERSHIP POSITIONS....BUT ALONG WITH ACCOUNTABILITY, THERE NEEDS TO BE A WILLINGNESS FOR CHURCH LEADERSHIP TO LISTEN TO CONGREGANTS.

The church's Music Minister, Jerry Cornish, has no choral, vocal or sacred music background and has also been fraudulaently passing himself off as qualified to teach jazz piano:

Please see the following texts exchange:


I wrote: We have a huge mess on our hands. As you know, Richland is hoping they will have a spot for a second hour a week with the jazz piano teacher, Brad Williams in the spring. Right now all they could do was to recommend a book and Russian volunteer a student to help her. The professors have noticed that she has been taught no jazz techniques and told her not to go back to your studio.

Jerry Cornish answered: Yikes! Lately we’ve been working on the Christmas music and the scales. She’s welcome to come in for more that if you would like.

Student wrote: The jazz band teacher had to pull me out of class on Monday and take me into a practice room to go over the pieces because I’m struggling so much. My private lesson teacher had instructed me to not go back to your studio. The jazz band teacher also doesn’t want you helping me. My instructors quizzed me and they didn’t feel I had any jazz instruction and they didn’t understand why you were pulling stuff up on YouTube and not just sight reading the music off the page. They also felt the church music was inappropriate and they asked me to stop.

Jerry Cornish answered: So excited for you! High school jazz is kind of dipping your toe in the water, but now it sounds like you’re going to jump all in! Where as we work piece by piece here so you would feel comfortable with your jazz band pieces, now you’re going to be a real hip jazz player.
It’s standard to not have two teachers for one piece, and now that you’re in to the Jazz department, you should definitely stick with that program exclusively.
You are in the big kid world now and I feel that you’re totally up to it!

I responded: Her high school performed at close to a professional level with the Dallas Jazz Orchestra and the like. These kids were competing for scholarships.

The Music Minister, Jerry Cornish, is so gauche that he posted the choir's offering to God at a sacred service on Sunday on Youtube under comedy. Those dear singers are being led by someone who has no vocal, choral or sacred music background and due to his incompetence they sound awful, but to label their offering to God a comedy is beyond reprehensible:

Heather,

Thank you, thank you for these good comments. I have been coming to some of the same conclusions and find your insights right on target.

My family is rushing out the door and we have one car so I'd like to talk more with you about it.

In short, I always come out ahead when I take your advice and I plan to do that now. You see things clearly. I'm planning now how to make adjustments at the last minute when the plan isn't coming together. The songs are scheduled way ahead of time, usually, and I need to have some ways to evaluate and bail out when there are late changes such as players who are absent from rehearsals too much and singers who can't or don't show up for the performances.


You are my best counselor and feedback person. Please, please considering going through this thinking with me. And postponing the break if I can convince you to consider it. This could be my chance to change for the better for the benefit of the church, especially with your experience and reality thinking as input.

Dear Jerry,

I wanted to let you know that I will be taking a break from the music ministry at EPCC. The bell choir playing on Sunday was just too much. I am not willing to perform, make an offering or share music with the congregation (call it what you will) when the group doing the piece is woefully unprepared. Much of the time that seems to be the case lately. We are doing music that we can barely get through. The comments in the hall revolve around talk of train wrecks, not knowing the pieces very well, and folks questioning if we are really ready to do the things we are doing.

The joy in making music is not there for me anymore. This is just very stressful and exhausting. I guess I just don’t understand why we are not doing music that will allow these groups to shine and really working the pieces until most of the group is secure in their parts and truly able to enjoy the music. In my many years of performing, I have never been in a choir like this. I am totally burned out. I feel like I am nothing but a huge detriment to the ministry at this point.

This was a choir filled with love and acceptance and I was thrilled to be there. But, things have just continued to go downhill since David R. left. I feel like we are not making joyful and humble offerings, but rather going from train wreck to train wreck. I tried to offer some help, but things are just not working and I can’t take the stress. I plan to keep in touch with the many wonderful people I have met in this ministry, but I am not sure that I will return except to turn in my music. It is so heartbreaking to consider leaving as so many have, but I give up.

Sincerely,

Heather Dobrott

Dear Jerry,

I don't exactly know how to have this conversation with you, but I am going to give it my best effort. First of all, I want you to know that I have been pleased with the welcome that I have received from the staff and the congregation at Eastridge Park Christian Church. However, I have been much less pleased with the state of the music department. and how you perceive my role in it. So, let me explain.

I have spent many years directing church music departments, and have had leadership positions in many other groups, schools, and organizations. I have studied many aspects of church music with some of the best church musicians in the field. I have performed with some very professional choirs, and conducted choirs of various abilities. I am not a novice in this field, not on any level. And I will remind you that my Master's Degree is in Church Music and Organ.

From the very first time we worked together, I have repeatedly felt insulted by your approach to me. As a matter of fact, the first time that I played for you, I vowed that would never return.For the benefit of the music department, and, more importantly, for the benefit of the church as a whole, I have made a supreme effort to get along with you. But the time has come that I really have to draw the line. I am a professional organist. I do not do this as a hobby or a side job. The recent emails that I have received from you have been the most insulting communication I have yet gotten, and I am very distressed. Perhaps you are not familiar enough with church music to understand the role of the organ in church. I am not at this time going to explain it to you.......

As a professional musician, I will not consent to playing a lesser role than I am expected to play, just because a director does not know the order of things. Also, I am used to services which are well planned, well rehearsed, and well executed. Since I have been at Eastridge Park, the services have seemed more like going to a circus than a church service. I have not done all of these years of schooling to participate in services which operate on such a low level. Let's not make it any lower by having an ill-prepared, pop-type group perform in a part of the service which needs to be dignified and uplifting.. How a service begins can color the atmosphere and attitude of the entire service.

I always try to give to you the respect that you should have as the Director of Music, but you have crossed some boundaries that should not be crossed. I was hoping to stay at Eastridge Park to help the church regain some equilibrium, as it appears to me to be struggling. However, the current situation must change, because I am having no peace of mind, and I need tranquility in order to do my part of the job well, which I cannot do under the present circumstances.

Having said that, I intend to supply Debbie with a prelude when I turn in my music selections to her. I know that as the Director you may be upset with me, but I am not trying to fly-in-your-face. I am asking you to respect my territory, as I have so far respected yours. I do not expect to have this conversation again, or to have my role replaced, except in the event that I am not there to play a service. In that case, you may do as you choose.

Yours in Christ,

J
Jerry Cornish as noted has no vocal, choral, sacred music or organ background. I do and I tried to help him, but it was hopeless. He ran off the organist of 25 years and every other qualified organist/musician that walked in the door including the one referenced above that absolutely resigned because of his abuse and dishonesty. I tried to be gracious and kind, but there are limits. Gay bashing remarks Jerry Cornish was making at this church and our former organist's church were totally out of line. Telling music ministry participants that I was crazy and causing trouble when I was desperately trying to save this dying ministry is also totally out of line. Participants have very right to say they are not comfortable with the music selections, are not willing to share music with the congregation that is not properly prepared and do not want to be publicly embarrassed. I am a degreed professional and do not want his pop crap with me performing up on Youtube as I could have difficulty getting hired with that garbage out there. Jerry Cornish is a liar and fraud and only gracious if it serves his purpose. He had no interest in hearing the constructive criticism that had to be given by the numerous people who have tried to reason with him about the imminent collapse of his music ministry.

He spent five years at his former church noodling and oodling on the piano with instrumentalist they had there. Dr. Brad Eames brought him in to Eastridge with a very beloved organist (of 22 years at that juncture) and a choir, neither of which he had any clue about. Cornish doesn't know the instrument, voice. I took college voice as a major for 9 years and have extensive performing experience. I wouldn't take over a string ensemble, for example, because even with my music degree, hours toward a music masters and extensive experience, I don't know the violin, viola, cello or bass and could not work with them effectively. How Cornish was hired in the first place and put over the very experienced and professional organist is beyond comprehension. To have retained him in the almost 3 years since as the choir implodes and the church continues to die defies all logic.

For Edith Smith, Pastor Scott and Jerry Cornish to continue to lie and to try and silence those that have very right to talk about this horrific mess isn't going to happen on my watch. The services are like a circus with bad karaoke and the videos prove that they are garnering no interest. Services that get 0 or 1 view on Vimeo after being linked on Twitter and the church website tell the story of this dying church with ineffective, dishonest and abusive leadership.

Anyone with two working brain cells would be suspicious if an organist was willing to drive 120 miles (2 hours) each way to play in a small church in a suburb of Dallas that has only 1 service, 1 choir and pays starvation wages for only a handful of hours a week. Jerry Cornish nonetheless brings that buffoon, Dr Jeffrey Schleff, in to play for the church from out of state.

A very talented music major that wanted the job, was adored by the choir and had been trying to apply was publicly humiliated when he was asked to give up Sundays he was scheduled to play in front of everybody so that Jerry Cornish could hear this clown. We then lost that fine young man to another church. Jerry Cornish has run off so many talented organists.

I smelled a rat and checked the joker out. I have worked tirelessly to serve in that church and to protect the precious people there. Jerry Cornish should have been shown the door ages ago. His incompetence as a music director is only overshadowed by his total lack of common sense. Who would bring some guy like this in the door from 120 miles away when there are at least 3 universities much much closer with organ departments?

Please note that Dr Schleff's record explains how he got from Oklahoma to Mesquite, TX in 1 hour and 45 minutes as he bragged. And, I notified Jerry Cornish, Pastor Scott and Edith Smith of this guy's record and I was told that it must be kept secret as pretty much everything around there is. This is all free public records that I found. The congregation should know about this as they should be fully aware of the activities of their paid staff member Jerry Cornish. He tithes at another church and his family spends Sunday and Wednesday nights at their church. Cornish has no vested interest in this church and is obviously only there for a paycheck. That wonderful choir and congregation deserve so much better.

ROE candidate background gives committee pause

WOODSTOCK – A McHenry County Board committee balked Friday at recommending the hiring of a regional school superintendent who has an arrest record along with the required qualifications.

After a two-hour closed-session discussion, the Public Health and Human Services Committee voted, 4-1, to forward the resolution hiring Jeffrey Schleff on to the full County Board without a recommendation. Schleff, of Island Lake, meets the lengthy list of requirements for the elected office, but his background also includes a sentence for driving under the influence and charges, since dropped, for DUI and domestic battery.

Committee Chairwoman Virginia Peschke, R-Woodstock, said a "substantial" portion of the closed-door discussion revolved around the legal issues. The county office, responsible under state law for duties such as certifying teachers, truancy enforcement, administering GEDs, and school safety inspections, has been vacant since June.

"This was all new information for us," Peschke said, citing the Northwest Herald story on the charges in Friday's newspaper.

Schleff, principal of Lords Park Elementary School in Elgin, attended the meeting to answer questions, and went to an adjoining room as committee members discussed his appointment. He declined to comment after the committee voted in open session and adjourned.

The appointment is scheduled to go before the full County Board next Tuesday morning. The Finance and Audit Committee in charge of county government's purse plans to vote on the resolution at a special meeting 30 minutes prior.

County Board Chairman Ken Koehler, R-Crystal Lake, said after the meeting that it was not until Tuesday evening that he and County Administrator Peter Austin were informed by the State's Attorney's Office of past charges against Schleff. A Jan. 24 letter and certificate from the Illinois State Board of Education confirms that Schleff meets the qualifications for the job.

Koehler clarified Friday that he is not pushing for Schleff to get the job, but moving a candidate who meets the requirements through the process for the full County Board to decide.

"It's not my position, or the County Board's position, to pass judgment on him – that's for the court system to do," Koehler said. "We have to work with what the facts are."

Committee member Donna Kurtz, R-Crystal Lake, cited the process in her opposing vote – she said Schleff had "numerous opportunities to be forthcoming" as a candidate for the seat. He was the only one of 11 candidates who applied last summer when the position became open who met the qualifications.

"If someone wants to be appointed to a position of public trust, they have to show that they can be trusted in the interview process," Kurtz said Friday afternoon. "If you're not forthcoming about an arrest record, I think the outcome is very obvious that this person is not worthy to be appointed to such a position."...

According to McHenry County court records, Schleff was charged with DUI in 2006, but the charges were dropped. In 2008, he again was charged with DUI and sentenced to six months of supervision, DUI school, and attended a victim impact panel.

Authorities charged Schleff in 2009 with two counts of domestic battery related to an incident with his now ex-wife. An emergency order of protection was granted, but then voluntarily withdrawn.

Judge Gordon Graham in a bench trial found Schleff guilty on one count and not guilty on the other, but granted him a new bench trial after reviewing the case and determining that prosecutors didn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Schleff wasn't acting in self-defense. Schleff had argued that his then-wife was the aggressor and was intoxicated....

School chief candidate backs out

By KEVIN P. CRAVER - kcraver@shawmedia.com
The sole remaining candidate for the long-vacant office of McHenry County regional school superintendent has withdrawn after County Board scrutiny after his arrest record became public.

Jeffrey Schleff, of Island Lake, pulled his name from consideration Monday morning, the day before the full County Board was to vote on whether to appoint him to the position. Schleff’s withdrawal is yet another setback for a county government that has struggled since June to fill the elected office, which handles such duties as certifying teachers, truancy enforcement, administering GEDs, and school safety inspections.

While Schleff, 54, meets the numerous requirements under state law to hold the office, a past that included a sentence for driving under the influence and dropped DUI and domestic battery charges prompted the board’s Public Health and Human Services Committee to balk Friday at a recommendation after a two-hour closed session.

Schleff announced his withdrawal in a three-page letter to the County Board, much of it focused on his educational achievements. He wrote that he is the best candidate the county will find, but cited the committee’s lack of a recommendation in his decision and said he is “unwilling to consider a position where the confidence of those invested in making the decision to approve is insufficient.”

“Have I made mistakes in my professional and personal life? I am not perfect, and it appears to some not suited for the position or the political scrutiny of officials in McHenry County. If that is the case, so be it,” Schleff wrote...

Koehler said he and County Administrator Peter Austin learned of Schleff’s arrest record from the State’s Attorney’s Office on Jan. 31, days before his scheduled meeting before the committee.

“I appreciate the fact that he understands, with some of the issues that were brought to our attention, this is probably the right move to make,” Koehler said.

Schleff, principal of Lords Park Elementary School in Elgin District U-46, could not be reached for comment.
According to McHenry County court records, Schleff was charged with DUI in 2006, but the charges were dropped. In 2008, he was again charged with DUI and sentenced to six months of supervision and DUI school.

Authorities charged Schleff in 2009 with two counts of domestic battery related to an incident with his now ex-wife. He was convicted on one count in a bench trial, but got a new trial after Judge Gordon Graham determined that prosecutors didn’t prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Schleff wasn’t acting in self-defense. Schleff had argued that his then-wife was the aggressor and was intoxicated.

Edith E. Smith
Certified Public Accountant
Edith Smith was the head of personnel committee and very excited to hire the incredibly overqualified organist, J. Yet, even though J told her and the committee at the interview that she had issues with Jerry Cornish and I am told that the committee members were not surprised, Edith is now lying and claiming that Jerry Cornish had nothing to do with J's resignation.

The resignation letter refutes that:

(http://www.realscam.com/f14/eastridge-park-christian-church-abusive-church-music-minister-jerry-cornish-pastor-scott-wooddell-5047/#post118154)There is also the Dear Jerry letter posted right after Smith's lie-filled e-mail saying that Jerry Cornish had nothing to do with her resignation:

We also have the group hallucination incident. In church that Sunday right before the 9:00 a.m. bible study classes met a group of us were out in the hall enjoying coffee and donuts when a fight broke out. J, the incredibly overqualified organist, had to throw Jerry Cornish out of her office as he was abusive and out of line with her. Let me restate that. The organist had to throw Cornish out of her office because he was being so incredibly obnoxious and the fight was heard and reported all over the church with lightening fast speed. Everyone was talking. So many of us were thrilled that we had such a wonderful organist and hoped that she would lead the music ministry and that Jerry Cornish would be replaced with a competent choir director. Instead, Jerry Cornish kept up his antics and Pastor Scott and Edith Smith circled the wagons around him. I walked out with the organist when she was forced to resign. Others have left or are considering leaving as well due to the dishonest, abusive and manipulative leadership. The secrecy and lies are tearing the church apart.

Spiritual abuse | Apologetics Index (http://www.apologeticsindex.org/8006-spiritual-abuse)


ABUSIVE RELIGION

Ken Blue lists seven symptoms of abusive religion, based on the words of Jesus in Matthew 23 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+23):


Abusive leaders base their spiritual authority on their position or office rather than on their service to the group. Their style of leadership is authoritarian.
Leaders in abusive churches often say one thing but do another. Their words and deeds to not match.
They manipulate people by making them feel guilty for not measuring up spiritually...
Abusive leaders are preoccupied with looking good. They labor to keep up appearance. They stifle any criticism that puts them in a bad light.....

7. They major on minor issues to the neglect of the truly important ones. They are conscientious about religious details but neglect God’s larger agendas.

WHY DO PEOPLE PUT UP WITH SPIRITUAL ABUSE?

Why do otherwise sensible and intelligent people put up with abusive churches?
Blue points out that many people feel perfectly comfortable being led.
[W]e have the tendency to let authority figures make the rules and then apply them to us. When they administer the rules in an abusive manner we will (at first) tend to submit.Combined with our tendency to want a leader is our incurably religious nature. Our longing for God is essential to use. It is the most significant aspect of our being....Christ calls us to spiritual maturity (http://www.apologeticsindex.org/618-discernment-2). And that sometimes means resisting spiritual authorities just as he did.”

Many of the people we counsel regarding spiritual abuse indicate that they long submitted to their leaders because they were afraid to lose their community — their history in the local church and the relationships they have built up with people over time.




Many in that church have let me know that they are unhappy with things, but they stay as they have been there for many years and their friends are there. They are also afraid to speak out for fear of being viciously attacked by the Pastor and/or Music Minister as I was. That church is so abusive and totally mismanaged.

Unspoken Rules

These are rules which govern unhealthy churches or families but
are not formally stated or written. Since they are not spoken
verbally, you do not find out that the rule(s) exist until you
have broken one.

The unspoken rule may come across like this: Do not disagree with
the church authorities � especially the pastor or your loyalty
will be suspect. Silence becomes the fortress wall of protection,
shielding the pastor's power position from scrutiny or challenge.

Of the unspoken rules, the can't talk rule is probably the most
powerful. The thinking of this rule is: The real problem can not
be exposed because then it would have to be dealt with and things
would have to change, so it must be protected behind walls or
silence (neglect or by assault � legalistic attack). If you speak
about the problem out loud, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. In some way you
must be silenced or eliminated.....

Speaking up or against spiritual abuse is not the problem. The
real problem is if a Christian who feels violated stops talking,
then the perpetrator will never be held accountable for his
behavior.....

Paranoia

When the church or family is spiritually abusive, there will be a
sense (spoken or unspoken) that "others will not understand what
we're about so let's not let them know � that way they won't be
able to ridicule or persecute us."

Jackson and VanVonderen make the point that in such a system
persecution sensitivity builds a case for keeping everything
within the system. The reason is that the evil, dangerous or
unspiritual people outside the system are trying to weaken or
destroy "us." They go on to say, "This mentality builds a strong
wall or bunker around the abusive system, isolates the abusers
from scrutiny and accountability, making it more difficult for
people to leave � because they will then be outside too."...

A self contained spiritual system can be a very harmful thing
because it keeps people wounded.

Secretive

There is no reason to hide what is appropriate, only what is
inappropriate. When you see people in a religious system being
secretive � WATCH OUT!

Perhaps one reason spiritually abusive families and churches are
secretive is because they are so image conscious. People in these
systems cannot even live up to their own performance standards so
they have to hide what is real.

When these characteristics exist in a church or Christian group,
the result will be abuse. The answer is in the right use of God's
Word.
Pastor Scott lying about my giving, involvement with the church and more is his desperate attempt to hide that the church is imploding and he is not capable of leading it. His protection of an incompetent, dishonest and gay bashing music minister, Jerry Cornish, also speaks volumes about his true character. The leadership is the mutual admiration society, but tragically, reality in no way influences what is going on in the secretive little group at the top of this sad little church.

Some think as I and the droves of others leave that they are getting rid of the divisive and Satan possessed and that the good people left are going to magically rebuild and revitalize the church. The fact that those leaving were simply honest people that saw the serious problems and walked away or spoke out in a desperate attempt to save that dying church is lost on these folks. The numbers will continue to plummet with no end in sight. Pastor Scott Wooddell, Jerry Cornish, Edith Smith and more are well aware that they are lying, but they will do anything to maintain their illusions of power and control. They are desperate to be the center of attention and admired. They are happy to ignore that the congregation has dwindled from 2200 to far less than 200 and that the church physically and spiritually is literally disintegrating.

All the teachers we have worked with over the years save 1 have been 5 stars all the way. All it takes, however, is one bad apple to tip the cart. Jerry Cornish of Creek Crossing Music Studio has fraudulently passed himself off as competent to teach jazz piano, lead choirs and versed in sacred music. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The Code of Ethics states:
"Commitment to Students:
The teacher shall respect the student's right to obtain instruction from the teacher of his or her choice.
Commitment to Society
The teacher shall accurately represent his/her professional qualifications.
The teacher shall strive for continued growth in professional competencies."
The president of the association Jerry Cornish is involved in sent us to him specifically for jazz piano instruction as that person knew that was not in their own area of expertise.
"Code of Ethics
Adopted December 2003; Revised May 2013
The principles and aspirations found in the Code of Ethics are not conditions of membership, but are goals and ideals that each MTNA member should strive to make an essential part of his or her professional commitment to students, to colleagues and to society."
The Code of Ethics apparently has no teeth whatsoever and those defrauded by unscrupulous and self-aggrandizing music teachers have no recourse with the association. These rogue teachers reflect badly on all of us in the profession and must be held accountable.

Please find following the review I gave Creek Crossing Music Studio:


Jerry Cornish was hired specifically to teach my then high school and now college student daughter jazz piano. He said he was qualified to teach jazz when nothing could be farther from the truth. My daughter is now playing in a group at Richland College. The professors there (who all hold Master's Degrees) had plenty to say about the total lack of instruction from Mr. Cornish. We are out over $5,000.00 and she is now struggling. She has had no proper jazz instruction whatsoever. Mr. Cornish fraudulently misrepresented his areas of expertise. Him relying on Youtube videos of jazz pieces instead of being able to realize the lead sheets is beyond ridiculous. We placed our trust in the wrong teacher.

In response to Jerry Cornish's reply I answered:


We were with another teacher and very happy. That teacher was classically trained and recommended we go to someone who could offer jazz instruction as that was a pressing need. We were given three names. The first one was a wonderful teacher that we spoke with that was very busy and didn't get back to us in time to about take her for jazz instruction, so we ended up with Mr. Cornish. We would have never switched teachers or driven so many miles if we hadn't had to switch to get qualified jazz instruction. Mr. Cornish was never hired for "general lessons." She didn't "agree to study jazz at Richland" either. She was in the high school jazz band needing help and Mr. Cornish was also to prepare her for college level auditions into the jazz groups. So, as I originally said we came to him specifically for jazz instruction and he did not and could not provide that.

These texts say it all:

I wrote: We have a huge mess on our hands. As you know, Richland is hoping they will have a spot for a second hour a week with the jazz piano teacher, Brad Williams in the spring. Right now all they could do was to recommend a book and Russian volunteer a student to help her. The professors have noticed that she has been taught no jazz techniques and told her not to go back to your studio.

Jerry Cornish answered: Yikes! Lately we’ve been working on the Christmas music and the scales. She’s welcome to come in for more that if you would like.

Student wrote: The jazz band teacher had to pull me out of class on Monday and take me into a practice room to go over the pieces because I’m struggling so much. My private lesson teacher had instructed me to not go back to your studio. The jazz band teacher also doesn’t want you helping me. My instructors quizzed me and they didn’t feel I had any jazz instruction and they didn’t understand why you were pulling stuff up on YouTube and not just sight reading the music off the page. They also felt the church music was inappropriate and they asked me to stop.

Jerry Cornish answered: So excited for you! High school jazz is kind of dipping your toe in the water, but now it sounds like you’re going to jump all in! Where as we work piece by piece here so you would feel comfortable with your jazz band pieces, now you’re going to be a real hip jazz player.
It’s standard to not have two teachers for one piece, and now that you’re in to the Jazz department, you should definitely stick with that program exclusively.
You are in the big kid world now and I feel that you’re totally up to it!

I responded: Her high school performed at close to a professional level with the Dallas Jazz Orchestra and the like. These kids were competing for scholarships.


I also included the incredibly overqualified organist's resignation letter to this defunct church in my review of the Texas Music Teachers Association and its rogue member:

I have this idea in mind where a section sits in a horseshoe shape so they can hear each other. And the horse shoes are close to each other so that we end up looking kind of like a flower . Each horse shoe is the pedal of a flower and we have a four petaled flower. Maybe a four leaf clover. https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/f26/2/16/1f340.png🍀 In the end we hear each other in our section best, but because of our shoe is open to the others, we hear them too.

Does that make any sense? Does it sound like a good idea? I'm not sure how we would pull it off, but it just seems like a great idea to me. I appreciate your input on these issues because I know you know what you're talking about.

When our piano accompaniment was getting weaker, I heard you sing out stronger. I appreciate you doing that. I finally realized that I should be using your pitch as the basis to find my pitch instead of trying to find it based on - well I don't know what I was using. But I was struggling. And by that time it was the end of the song. Thanks for helping us keep on pitch.

It is time for some clear heads to look at the numbers of members and donations and take the difficult steps necessary to save that little church. In the 6 years that Pastor Scott Wooddell has been at the helm, the ship has taken on enough water that it is close to sinking. The change of direction that Pastor Scott, Dr. Brad Eames and a few others have directed, including bringing in Jerry Cornish has been a complete disaster. It is God's choir and His church and obviously as they feared Satan is attacking the church. But, it is not through me and the many wonderful members that have left. The leadership is sinking the SS Satanic and a new pastor and music minister need to be found now!

Eastridge is a cliquish mess with abusive and dishonest leadership that is quick to attack anyone who comes forward with a concern, legitimate problem or opinion they don't like. Then as the numbers are tumbling below 200 members in this hostile and unwelcoming environment they seemed surprised. Clearly, the effectiveness of the ministry is not being evaluated and no corrective measures are being taken in that abusive and dishonest environment. The church is collapsing likely to the point of no return.

The twitter account is completely dead. These videos are no longer available and the current ones are not getting views. Pastor Scott Wooddell has run that church into the ground. It is about time for an autopsy on Eastridge Park. I have been talking to numerous longtime members and folks that have left. The Music Minister, Jerry Cornish, most feel must go immediately and many are ready to seek out a new pastor in a desperate effort to save the church. So many were absolutely horrified that Pastor Scott publicly attacked me for my giving (especially when Jerry Cornish and most of the choir and many other congregants watched me place my envelope in the plate before the service every Sunday without fail as being in the music ministry meant we might miss the offertory) and they know the Pastor is lying and completely out of line. Many do not want Edith Smith handling the money. They believe their offering is between them and the Lord and do not like that information being used to harass and attack people.

Pastor Scott's revival of the church that began in 2012 has resulted in that church simply collapsing. Dr. Porter, a beloved Music Minister, left as he would not go in a new direction Pastor Scott was babbling about and introduce crap pop music as Jerry Cornish has done. His departure really hurt the music ministry and church as a whole. Once Cornish came in and the new direction was put in place many more left and the organist of 25 years bailed. The implosion has continued to the point the church is in dire straights financially and the buildings are in very poor condition.

Bad music and buildings in disrepair will send people running. Drastic measures must be taken if they wish to keep their doors open. It is high time this precious congregation be allowed to speak their minds without fear of the retaliation and abuse that I and others have suffered. That is the most unhappy and unwelcoming place. There are few left, but among them are some who are fed up with the nonsense going on and ready to see change. I promised them I would fight to get Jerry Cornish and Pastor Scott out so that the church could find new, competent leadership and actually see that revitalization that they were promised and deserve.

Oh dear, Pastor Pastor Pants on Fire!!!

The church has no online giving option. I gave cash every week in an envelope. Jerry Cornish, who asked me to come in and help the music ministry in February 2016, numerous choir members and congregants watched me place my offering in the plate outside the door near the choir loft every Sunday. As music was performed during the offertory and the choir exited during that time, I always placed my offering in the plate before the service without fail. I had to go into the sanctuary and get an envelope and was always seen by numerous people.

For Edith Smith to be handling the finances and for that information to be used by Pastor Scott to publicly harass and attack people is beyond inappropriate and downright despicable. For Pastor Scott to lie about potential members and dismiss their loving attachment to and work in the church tells me it is high time he resign or be replaced as he is not able to shepherd this flock effectively. The numbers have continued to plummet under his leadership. The congregation is uncomfortable and with Jerry Cornish’s antics being divided. The unity is gone. The pastor and Cornish are the divisive forces in that precious church.

I didn't join because of Jerry Cornish. I watched him run off the organist of 25 years and saw the music ministry collapsing under his incompetent leadership. I am one of many offended by the very inappropriate things being said by him.

The music ministry is a disaster and I made it clear that if Cornish ran off yet another highly qualified organist with his antics that I would leave arm and arm with them. I participated in every music group at Cornish’s request as he didn't have enough people left to fill the spots and was desperate. I sacrificed a great deal of time arranging music and advising that clown as he was asking for help. I purchased and donated sets of music for the choir. I assisted with all the youth worship band practices throughout even though my own child was too ill to attend. I organized the party for a departing choir member and donated and helped with all the activities I possibly could. I took meals and gave rides to church members in need and continue to do so to this day.

I am not working because I have two kids at home with serious medical issues and don't have that option. My son is tube fed with only 1 safe food. He has never been well enough to attend school. He also has an allergy to peanuts and we are very afraid to take him out as he has had life threatening reactions to them. My daughter also has GI issues and has missed so much school that she was unable to graduate. I have my hands very full at home.

I spent the time to get to know and trust the youth minister. Knowing the challenge it would be to keep my kids safe, he welcomed them into his group with open arms. He is the best thing that has ever happened to that church. But, with the lies, inappropriate talk and abusive behavior from the Senior Pastor Scott and Jerry Cornish, I doubt this fine young man will be around for long. I can’t say enough wonderful things about him.

I followed the proper protocol to get help with my concerns. I did everything possible to help the music minister, but it became painfully apparent that the music ministry was falling apart. Cornish is not able to do the job as he has no choral, vocal, sacred or organ background. Putting Cornish over the organist of then over two decades was inappropriate and totally unworkable. To hire someone that is said to have insisted on being put in charge should never have happened. To think the organist could train him to handle a choir when he couldn't sing and had no choral background was a recipe for disaster.

Cornish reportedly promised that if what he was doing wasn't working that he would change it. He is also said to have stated in his 2015 self-evaluation that he needed and would take voice lessons and more training. That was all master deception. Cornish constantly peppered me with questions. When I gave him an answer that he didn’t like, he would get upset and cry out that it was God's choir and insist that he was praying about it. Prayer won't fix a lack of education, training and experience. I finally told him that he needed to go back to college and take voice lessons, choir, vocal pedagogy, diction and choral conducting. In utter frustration I made it clear that things were so bad there really wasn't a choir any longer. Singing with 0 -2 basses and often only 1 of the 2 tenors while pretending there was a real 4 part SATB choir simply wasn't working. Cornish doesn't know how to teach the choir or bell choir the music and keeps taking groups up to share pieces with the congregation that they can barely manage to stumble through. He is a complete fool and constantly embarrassed us. Offerings to God may be humble, but they should be lovingly prepared. That church should hire a qualified professional to lead the choir and not being wasting their few precious dollars on a buffoon who is only there for a paycheck.

I intend to love, support and encourage the few remaining congregants and choir members as they look for a new pastor and music minister and try to save what’s left of their church and its beautiful organ.

Pastor Joe MCkeever has many wonderful articles. Cornish and Pastor, Pastor Pants On FIRE, Scott Wooddell, should read this article as well:

Don’t lie to us, pastor

Posted on August 10, 2013 (https://joemckeever.com/wp/lie-us-pastor/) by Joe (https://joemckeever.com/wp/author/joe/)

“Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices” (Colossians 3:9).
“Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord” (Proverbs 12:22).
Lying is almost unforgiveable in a pastor.
1. Do not lie to us about your resume......


Tell us the truth, pastor.


2. Do not lie to us about your testimony....


3. Do not lie to us about your ministry.



To our everlasting shame, the term “ministerial exaggeration” has entered the language. If anyone should tell the unvarnished truth, it should be those disciples of Jesus Christ entrusted with the truth of God in the gospel of salvation.......


I once organized a conference and invited in a professional to speak. We charged admission, so the actual number attending was not in doubt, something like 250 or so. But the guest speaker promptly put in his newsletter that we had packed in a thousand people for his seminar. I wondered if he did not know that some of us read his newsletter and would catch that. The only conclusion that made sense is he did not care.
Do not lie to the church about where you went, how you spent your time, whom you saw, what was said, and the plans that were made.
All you have is your integrity, pastor. Lose that and you’re gone.


4. Don’t lie to us about finances.....


He who is unfaithful about money can be counted on to transgress in other, bigger ways also (see Luke 16:10-12).


Give us pastors whose integrity is blameless.

Let us take seriously Christ’s honor, the people’s respect, and our personal integrity to the point that we always do the honorable thing....




Falsehood belongs to the attackers of the faith, not its citizens nor its defenders.
Let’s get this right, preachers. Everything depends on it.

Everything.


Cornish lying about his qualifications and intentions from day 1 and continuing to lie in order to get a paycheck out of this precious congregation is dividing this little church. The pastor lying about and attacking anyone who dares to share concerns or ask questions is tearing this church apart as well. This church is in crisis and without drastic changes, especially in the leadership the doors will soon close. Satan is the Father of Lies and he is in that church and driving away the good Christians that used to dwell there away in droves. A holy war is indeed at hand and I will fight to save that precious place.

What would you think of using this book?

Jerry
I told him it would be a complete waste of money, but he buys it anyway. He has almost no men left in choir, so there is no point in buying SATB material. With almost no tenors and basses, just who is going to sing this tripe? The book is one hymn that is butchered with pop type accompaniment and unmusical rests added in that is married to some pop crap off the radio that is poorly arranged and not good music for a church choir.

This church had an excellent organist for 25 years that Cornish ran off and highly qualified Music Ministers that were the top in their field. The choir was performing major choral works and the best music out there and had a good reputation in the music community. They can't do that any longer as Cornish knows nothing about voice, choirs or good sacred music. He buys crap like this because it comes with CDs of each voice part. Since he doesn't know how to teach the choir the music and knows nothing about voice he depends on the recordings. When the choir sounds awful, which they always do, he blames them for not doing their homework and listening to the CD. Total incompetence.

Now, the choir is imploding and the church collapsing as Cornish turns it into a laughingstock with this garbage music. If the congregation wants to get rid of the choir and organ and hire a worship band that would do the pop music off the radio they could and certainly wouldn't need Cornish. Most of the congregation seems to want the organ and good quality music they have had for decades. This clown of a music director has wasted hundreds of dollars on music that is best used to line bunny cages. A total waste of the money that is supposed to be building a ministry.

Unless drastic changes are made and new leadership is brought then Satan will win and the doors of this little church will forever close. It is high time the congregation feel safe to speak out and be heard. The numbers have plummeted to the point that the horrific problems can no longer be swept under the rug. The Pastor and Cornish have been tested as they should be and the response was to attack those in the flock, spread lies and be divisive.

Jerry Cornish's total lack of any connection to reality or any real care for his music ministry participants is so shocking. Following is a report I got from a prayer request Cornish made:


He’s trying to at least appear to be trying to learn. He put on the prayer list this week for tenors to be more consistent, and for a bass section leader who can read music. William said “Well, I could do it if he’d teach me how to read music.” LOL



For most of 2017 Cornish only had 1 tenor and for having to carry the part alone when he didn't read music he did an amazing job for somone approaching 80 years of age. What a thoughtless and insensitive thing to put in writing. Then he asks for a bass singer that can read music and lead the section. Cornish is a totally ignorant and incompetent fool. It is his job to teach the music, music reading skills, proper vocal technique and all that. Cornish has no vocal, choral, sacred music or organ background and knows that he is not qualified for the job.

He has totally failed and in reality defrauded that little church. William wanted to learn to really sing more than anything in the world. We were in all the choir groups and became very good friends. He prayed for my kids struggling with medical issues and I encouraged him in his music. Days after Cornish wrote this prayer request William dropped dead at the age of 55. Thanks to Cornish taking a job he couldn't do and running off all the organist and professional musicians like me, William never got to fulfill his dream of learning to really sing. He was just a pawn in Cornish's continuing farce of a music ministry that has been instrumental in emptying the church.

From what some of the few remaining members are getting, the leadership is happy to run off members and long-term visitors in droves. The story I got is they feel they are running off all the divisive folks and the good people that are left are the ones that will rebuild the church. The place has gone from 2200 members and packed to 1 Sunday service that is almost deserted. Many Sundays the number of people in the sanctuary is said to be around 80-90 maximum.

The talk of Satan being in the church does ring true. Satan is in the leadership that is destroying this precious little church. The buildings are falling apart as is this congregation. The church is going to continue to collapse as the leadership is apparently looking to get to the point that they can control and bully everyone. Some are surprised that people leave without letting them know. Who wants to be at a place where they are afraid to share any concern or opinion? Who wants to be pressured to return to a place where they don't feel moved by the services? A few are staying because they have been there for decades and wish to stay with their friends. The problem is even those friends of years are quietly slipping away from this hellhole.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder | randombio.com

(http://www.randombio.com/narcissism.html)
....The DSM calls NPD “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy” and sets eight criteria:



Sense of self-importance and grandiose fantasies.
Belief in being special, brilliant, and unique.
Need for admiring attention.
Sense of entitlement.
Exploitative, taking advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends.
Arrogance and haughtiness (aloofness) and strong reactions to criticism.
Lack of empathy.
Envy of others or belief that others envy them.

Because these traits create friction with others, narcissists may try to disguise them. For example, they may feign empathy or pretend to be humble and fallible. But because their goal is to be perceived otherwise, they will sabotage their own pretentions, making it clear that their empathy is fake.


A narcissistic leader makes decisions not for the well-being of the organization, but to improve his own personal feelings about himself. Anyone who opposes him therefore threatens his entire identity and self-worth. The narcissist will stop at nothing to eliminate this threat, because his entire ego structure is at stake......


(http://www.randombio.com/narcissism.html)Narcissists are very similar to sociopaths, who are people with antisocial personality disorder (APD). Both types lie without guilt and have little empathy. Both are highly skilled at being charming and feigning empathy in order to exploit others. But they differ in the reason for the behavior. The sociopath is oriented toward gaining advantage over others, while the narcissist is trying to bolster his or her feelings of worthiness and importance.....

Narcissists do not realize they are exploiting and manipulating people, because they are unable to recognize the true feelings of others. They may believe, for instance, that rage and anger directed against them are the result of envy toward them.

To protect their feelings of self-aggrandizement, narcissists will lie shamelessly, but often do not realize they are lying. A person who lies to others will also lie to himself. So the narcissist may sincerely believe they said X, Y, or Z if believing it exonerates them from wrongdoing. A narcissist might make claims to have expertise or skill well beyond his or her actual knowledge. But unlike an ordinary liar, the narcissist truly believes he or she is telling the truth.....


People often unthinkingly accept others' opinions of themselves as accurate. So the narcissist may convince many people, at least at first, that he is indeed important, smart, and unique, especially when he talks of his supposed achievements in a field with which the listeners are unfamiliar.


But eventually, they realize they've been deceived. The narcissist leaves behind a trail of people who hate him for deceiving them and wasting their time and energy......

Jerry Cornish claiming to be qualified to work with vocal, choral, sacred, organ and jazz music are the case in point. He has no training, education or experience in these areas, but is a self proclaimed expert in everything. I am being viciously attacked and lied about because I dared to speak up about the music ministry collapsing. Cornish making hateful gay remarks at the other church shows his desperate desire to always be the center of attention. This narcissist is destroying that music ministry and emptying that church. He is making many savvy people uncomfortable.


Arrogant organization disorder is characterized by a failure of an organization to learn and adapt [2]. Unwilling to allow information to penetrate and flow within the organization, because they already know all there is to know about everything important, the leaders are shocked when their arrogance plows the organization into the ground.


In narcissistic organization disorder, the goal is to elevate organizational self-esteem at all costs, so lying and avoidance of unpleasant realities are prevalent. Members of such an organization have to be extremely careful about what they say. Because lying is so prevalent, they also become mistrustful of each other.


Jerry Cornish, Dr. Scott Wooddell, Dr. Brad Eames and Edith Smith are that leadership that characterize this Arrogant Organization Disorder to a tee. The lies about my giving, how Cornish treated the organist and music professionals that came in the door and the many other glaring problems in the church are the very thing that is destroying what is left of this little church. They are definitely plowing this church right into the ground. The place is crumbling literally and spiritually and the leadership continues to lollygag along as if everything is just grand.

That is the incredible Randall Keith Horton conducting the Eastridge Park Christian Church choir. Please start at 5:56 and watch to the end. Members remember his time with the music ministry with such reverence and love for him. Some are still in touch with him. Mr. Horton was said to be thrilled with the Doctor of Music Arts candidate that had come in. No doubt he will be horrified that the current Music Minister, Jerry Cornish, ran off his good friend who was the organist of 25 years and this DMA candidate.

That video shows God's choir and that sanctuary filled with real music. Note what Pastor Dan Carroll says about that heavenly music that is filling the sanctuary. To save that church and have that again is going to take the congregation standing up to the dishonest and manipulative pastor and music minister and showing them the door.

Dear Pastor Scott,

I thank you again for taking the time to speak with DC and I. I do believe you need to be updated about what has transpired since we talked. I took my daughter out to Jerry's home for her regular Friday lesson that day and instead of using the time to teach his student, he spent some of that time lecturing me. Jerry told me I was not to talk to my fellow choir members. There was no need for us to talk to each other, he opined. I was told not to go to the church's leadership with my concerns and it was especially important that I not talk to J. He proceeded to lecture me on that fact that he was her boss and anything I would have to say to anybody had to go through him. I am highly offended and fed up. What right does he have to dictate to me who I communicate with and what is discussed?

As you can see from the text he is once again asking for my help and feedback. As we discussed, I told David Rodgers that I would do everything possible to help Jerry and support this choir that I have grown to love.
Jerry has constantly peppered me with questions and then proceeded to ignore the advice I have graciously offered him. I have been professionally embarrassed on many occasions.

Choir has been my main focus since I was in elementary school. I was in all the top choirs through school and accompanied the show choir at my high school. I chose to pursue a degree in secondary and higher education and choral conducting so that I could share the joy of music and see that every child could have the opportunity to sing. I wanted to be that teacher that encouraged them to use the free and wonderful instrument that God blessed them with and give that free instruction to those who like me would not be able to afford music lessons.

I spent 5 years as a full-time student at Richland treating both piano and voice as principal instruments so that I could develop the skills to get the vocal scholarship I needed to fulfill that dream. I spent 4 more years at East Texas State University continuing to study voice as my major instrument. I have a minor in French and took all the diction courses offered. I was blessed to pass my junior piano barrier and be invited to study organ with Dr. John Burkett. So, besides 9 years of college choir experience, I also have 3 1/2 years of organ. I am very familiar with the sacred choral and organ literature.

I am very concerned with the direction the music ministry has gone since David Rodgers had to leave. Much of the music chosen has been inappropriate and very poorly prepared. There is no excuse for the music not to be properly taught and practiced until it is mastered and everyone is secure in their parts. The pop music is so poorly done it somewhat reminds me of karaoke night. Jerry and I have talked about the needed improvements for months and months.

I think it is becoming obvious that Jerry does not have a background in choral and vocal music and that it is causing irreparable harm to the music program and does need to be addressed by the leadership. I certainly can for the hundredth time give Jerry to feedback he is seeking, but I feel that should only happen with the church leadership involved. Jerry is now making me extremely uncomfortable and is sadly the reason I have not joined the church.

Thank you for your kind help.

Sincerely,

Heather Dobrott

I always followed the proper protocol to solve the glaring problems in the music ministry. I emailed out the wonderful video in the previous post to numerous choir and church members. One dear lady spoke out in obvious support of Jerry Cornish. Many others want Cornish fired immediately. We are also determined to see the church cleaned up starting from the top. I was told that Pastor Scott Scott has done none of the things he said he was going to do. Long time members have seen that he does not seem to care for this tiny congregation and did not treat the other pastor in the church well and she left after a family tragedy. They noted that Pastor Dan Carroll had 2000 members and he was known for being involved and caring.

The numbers in the congregation plummeting and the videos of the sermons getting zero views say it all. Legions of members there for decades have left in the recent months and most members know that the financial situation is dire. More and more members and those that have left are reaching out and now in contact with me. I promised them I would work tirelessly to help right this ship. The lies, secrecy, intimidation and harassment are going to stop! It is time that the voices of members and folks that come in are heard!

The email in the previous post garnered no written response from that lying, manipulative pastor. Pastor Scott did come into choir practice, which he had never done before, and went on about what a great job Jerry Cornish was doing. It is painfully obvious to many that that is not the case. The choir is far less than half what it was when Cornish came in. Some had left before Cornish came in when Dr. Porter resigned as he wouldn't kowtow to that nut Pastor Scott with his ridiculous and failed new direction of doing pop crap music in a sacred service. As more and more have reached out to me I am finding that the vast majority do not feel the music is appropriate and some have left and others do not come into the sanctuary for these offensive services. What is left of the leadership rubber stamping and ignoring what Pastor Scott, Jerry Cornish, Edith Smith and Dr. Brad Eames are doing will be the end of this precious church if drastic action is not taken immediately.

If those kids should walk into the church they are going to be exposed to the dishonest, gay bashing Music Minister, Jerry Cornish and the Pastor who lies and shockingly harasses congregants publicly for what they give.

A tragedy. The Music Minister, Jerry Cornish, ran off the organist of 25 years that the congregation loved beyond words. Every other overqualified and talented organist that came in since has been run out the door by that lying buffoon as well. Dr. Brad Eames, Pastor Scott and Jerry Cornish have made it clear they don't care about that gorgeous organ that the members spent thousands of dollars to have installed. I have been told that Brad Eames has said he doesn't think they need an organist and that he doesn't care for classical music. Pastor Scott and Jerry Cornish have been actively pushing hideous pop crap (their brilliant new direction for the music) which has caused a mass exodus and pretty much emptied the church.

Cornish will turn around and tell others he is supporting the organ being kept if he knows that is what they want to hear. But, Cornish knows nothing about real sacred music and organ and should have been shown the door a long time ago. Those that want to keep the doors open and save this organ need to take drastic action now. Soon this picture may be the closest we will get that organ ever again.

This is from 2003.

The following is a step-by-step account of how one woman initiated a Women’s Ministry program among young women in a 3000-member congregation. Young Women’s Ministry Project At Eastridge Park Christian Church Mesquite, Texas by Laura Cottrell...



I went to my Pastor, Dan Carroll, for his suggestions and blessings. He gave
me names and addresses of all female members at EPCC in the age range of 25-45. There were 200!......

In order to promote this event, the following steps are being taken:

Call each woman on the list of 280 (ages 25-50) that the 12 women from Sept 8 personally know. A script will be provided to help each volunteer.


There were more women in the 25-45 age group in 2003 than total members left now. Since Pastor Scott announced new member numbers of 200 and smaller months ago many more have bailed this sinking ship. Some members of decades said that they simply couldn't take it anymore. How truly sad is that! Pastor Scott and Jerry Cornish must be sent packing immediately and competent, caring and honest leadership be brought in to right this Titanic!

Eastridge Park Christian Church has such a rich musical heritage. I am so honored and feel so blessed to have gotten a call from Randall Horton himself. He did such wonderful things at Eastridge Park as the video above shows. Pastor Dan Carroll was in tears over the incredible offering to God his humble congregation made under Horton's baton.

Randall served as Minister of Music at EPCC from 1999 - 2001. He and Andrea continue to enjoy friendships and ministry with the church members and pastor, the Reverend Dan H. Carroll. The church members have been greatly supportive of the Hortons since their re-location to New York City. The Hortons will present vocal-piano interpretations, and Randall will perform classical piano compositions and hymn improvisations.

Senior Minister (Ret.),

Pastor Dan Carroll was a great mentor to Randall Keith Horton. Pastor Dan built the church to 3000 members and many have spoken to ne of the love and care he showered on the congregation. We must honor him by driving out the Satanic forces destroying that church. It is obvious that Pastor Scott Wooddell is not the right person to be leading that church and his defense of an incompetent, gay bashing music minister has totally divided and driven off much of the membership. It is time for positive change and new leadership!

WHEREAS, We are here today to pay honor to and celebrate the forty three year career of Reverend Dan Carroll; and

WHEREAS, Bro. Dan was born in Sugarland, Texas and married his sweetheart Gloria Story Carroll in 1967. They have two daughters, Carrie Carroll Breedlove and Shawna Carroll Ballast; and

WHEREAS, Bro. Dan graduated from Texas Christian University in 1968 and Brite Divinity School with a Master of Divinity in 1971; and

WHEREAS, Bro. Dan has served in the ministry as the youth minister for Northwest Christian Church in Arlington, student minister for North Fort Worth Christian Church, Richland Springs Christian Church and San Gabriel Christian Church and as the senior minister at Stevens Park Christian Church; and

WHEREAS, Bro. Dan has faithfully served for thirty four years at Eastridge Park Christian Church. Bro. Dan has given guidance and spiritual inspiration to his congregation; and

WHEREAS, Bro. Dan has served the community as the President of the Mesquite Ministerial Alliance, Chair for the Mesquite Youth Services Committee, President of the Dallas Football Officials Association and has been a high school football official since 1971; and

WHEREAS, Bro. Dan is a member of the Ministerial Association of Disciple Heritage Fellowship, member of the Committee on Ministry for Southwest Region of The Christian Church, Chair of Committee on Ministry for NTACC and has been recognized as the Outstanding Citizen of the Year by the Mesquite Chamber of Commerce and the Citizen of the Year for the City of Mesquite.

NOW, THEREFORE, on behalf of the Mesquite City Council, I, John Monaco, Mayor of the City of Mesquite, do hereby proclaim Sunday, March 7, 2010, as:

“REV. DAN CARROLL DAY”


in the City of Mesquite and urge all citizens to join me, along with his family and this congregation, in congratulating him for his outstanding career in the ministry and wishing him many continued years of happiness and good health.

PROCLAIMED this 7th day of March 2010.
This is the wonderful legacy of Bro. Dan Carroll that is being destroyed by Pastor Scott Wooddell and his comrade Jerry Cornish. The church will only flourish when the devil's disciples Wooddell and Cornish are out and honest and Godly people brought in to shepherd that precious flock.

1. Does a member’s personality generally become stronger, happier, more confident as a result of contact with the group?In an abusive church, the use of guilt, fear, and intimidation to control members is likely to produce members who have a low self-image, who feel beaten down by legalism, who have been taught that asserting oneself is not spiritual.
One of the first disturbing characteristics to be reported by relatives and friends of members of these churches is a noticeable change in personality, usually in a negative direction.....

3. Does the group encourage independent thinking and the development of discernment skills?
Control-oriented leaders attempt to dictate what members think, although the process is so spiritualized that members usually do not realize what is going on.A pastor or leader is viewed as God’s mouth piece, and in varying degrees a member’s decision making and ability to think for oneself are swallowed up by the group.Pressure to conform and low tolerance for questioning make it difficult to be truly discerning.....




4. Does the group allow for individual differences of belief and behaviour, particularly on issues of secondary importance?A legalistic emphasis on keeping rules and a focus on the need to stay within prescribed boundaries is always present in unhealthy spiritual envionments.
Lifestyle rigidity in such groups increase a member’s guilt feelings and contributes to spiritual bondage. This rigidity is often coupled with an emphasis on beliefs that would not receive great attention in mainstream evangelicalism.....

6. Does the group’s leadership invite dialogue, advice and evaluation from outside its immediate circle?Authoritarian pastors are usually threatened by any outside expression of diverse opinions, whether from inside or outside the group. When outside speakers are given access to the pulpit, they are carefully selected to minimize any threat to the leadership’s agenda.Coercive pastors are fiercely independent and do not function well in a structure of accountability.For the sake of public relations, they may boast that they are accountable to a board of some sort, when in actuality the board is composed of “yes-men” who do not question the leader’s authority.











7. Does the group allow for development in theological beliefs?Another hallmark of an authoritarian church is its intolerance of any belief system different from its own.
They tend to measure and evaluate all forms of Christian spirituality according to their own carefully prescribed system, adopting an “us-versus-them” mentality.






8. Are group members encouraged to ask hard questions of any kind?A cardinal rule of abusive systems is “Don’t ask questions, don’t make waves.”
A healthy pastor welcomes even tough questions. In an unhealthy church disagreement with the pastor is considered to be disloyalty and is tantamount to disobeying God.
People who repeatedly question the system are labelled “rebellious”, “unteachable”, or “disharmonious to the body of Christ”.
Persistent questioners may face sanctions of some kind such as being publicly ridiculed, shunned, shamed, humiliated, or disfellowshiped.






9. Do members appreciate truth wherever it is found even if it is outside their group?Whether they admit it or not, abusive churches tend to view themselves as spiritually superior to other Christian groups.
This religious elitism allows little room for outside influences. There can be no compromise with external sources, who, the leadership will say, really don’t understand what is going on in the ministry anyway.




This abusive behavior by the Pastor, Scott Wooddell and his flunky, Music Minister Jerry Cornish described above is without a doubt the reason the church is simply imploding. Under these dishonest clown there will be no revitalization.

Pastor Scott Wooddell, a paid employee of the church mind you, is so desperate to keep getting a paycheck from this collapsing church that he is running straight into the ground that he had his own grandson write the following review. During the almost two years I was there I only saw the 2 boys in the sanctuary for the Sunday service occasionally. They never participated in the music ministry in any way while I was there either.

The traditional music has tragically been tossed to the side as the incompetent Music Director, Jerry Cornish, has no sacred music, choral or organ background as the job clearly requires. What some might call contemporary is just plain bad, train wrecked garbage. The senior choir can't do Christian pop off the radio without the congregation needing barf bags to make it simple though Cornish can't see that. So, for the many that really enjoyed the wonderful music they had for years under the organist of 25 years, Dr. Porter, Randal Horton and Keith, it is nothing but a fading memory.

What would this young kid know about the music? Paid employees' family members do not constitute unbiased and trustworthy reviewers in any case. How low is this lying pastor going to go? Fake reviews for a church? What is the world coming to?

A real church choir with a real director where a large number of former Eastridge park Christian folks are said to attend. The youth choir is a huge and gorgeous sounding choir. And, they have a world class organist and not the oodling and noodling pop crap stylings of Jerry Cornish. It is time to send Jerry Cornish and Pastor Scott packing and have excellence in music and a real sacred service once again.

Excellence In Music

Excellence flows throughout the fabric of Wilshire’s life. In worship, music is not something only a few gifted people do; it’s an expression of joy for the entire congregation as we sing together great hymns of the faith old and new. The music ministry also offers choirs, ensembles and opportunities for every age grouping, from preschoolers to senior adults.
http://www.wilshirebc.org/download_file/view_inline/132/
Sanctuary Choir is the adult choir that leads in weekly Sunday morning worship and presents three or four special programs each year. This choir is open to any interested adult, with rehearsals on Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in Choral Hall. Contact Doug Haney (dhaney@wilshirebc.org) for more information.
Nova is an auditioned adult ensemble focusing on music of the renaissance. Contact Doug Haney (dhaney@wilshirebc.org).
New Song is the senior adult community choir that meets on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. It is open to any interested adult age 60 or older and draws many participants from beyond Wilshire’s membership. Find out more (http://www.wilshirebc.org/permalink/9a). Contact Sarah Stafford (sstafford@wilshirebc.org).
Wilshire’s Youth Choir is one of the strongest in the region and brings together students from more than 15 area schools in grades seven through 12. The 65-voice choir rehearses on Sunday afternoons, sings monthly in morning worship and embarks upon an annual concert and mission tour every June. Students in grades nine through 12 are invited to audition for the select youth ensemble called Shekinah. Contact Jeff Brummel (jbrummel@wilshirebc.org) for more information.
http://www.wilshirebc.org/download_file/view_inline/3701/
Preschoolers and children alike find age-appropriate training in music on Wednesday nights during the school year. All children ages 3 yrs to 6th grade are invited to Music & Missions, beginning at 6 p.m. These groups range from the simplest preschool music to more complex productions by older elementary children. Grade-school children are invited to participate in MusiCamp every summer, learning and performing a musical in one week. Contact Sarah Stafford (sstafford@wilshirebc.org) for more information.
Wilshire Wind Symphony is an all-volunteer ensemble made up of doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, salespersons, accountants, students and more—all with a love for continuing to play woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. No audition necessary--all skill levels welcome. In addition to weekly rehearsals on Monday nights at 7 p.m. in Choral Hall, Wilshire Winds plays in worship generally the second Sunday of each month and produces one or two major concerts a year. Contact interim director Shana Cox for more information.
Carillon Ringers is our adult handbell choir. Playing up to seven octaves of handbells, this group rehearses weekly and plays monthly in morning worship. Contact Sarah Stafford (sstafford@wilshirebc.org) for more information.
Wilshire Academy of Fine Arts

Wilshire Academy of Fine Arts is the place for formal training in piano, organ, guitar and voice, with access to well-qualified private instructors.

At Wilshire, he directs the choral program and supervises the church-wide music ministry, with major responsibilities for worship. Wilshire’s 80-voice Sanctuary Choir has recorded three CDs under Doug’s leadership: “Carols We Love”; “The Journey Home” with Cynthia Clawson; and "Prayers We Love."

The music is totally contemporary, but they have a real singer with a real professional band. Not the pop crap stylings of Jerry Cornish with the senior citizen singers and the Russian volunteered band (Cornish's teenaged daughter and two former piano students.) The congregation wasn't blindedsided by any change and forced to endure just plain bad as Eastridge's congregation was. Jerry Cornish was supposed to introduce some contemporary to take the beautiful traditional service and jazz it up to draw in a younger crowd. The result was to alienate the existing members with no increase in younger members and to cause the numbers to continue to plummet. The Five Stone Church has a music minister that is making his mark touring and building a wonderful reputation for the church.

Andy Jeffers (https://www.facebook.com/andy.jeffers.12?fref=ufi) · Actually, Jerry's family attends Eastridge. And all of this false information and half truths is hurting "this precious little church". Enough already!!! Get a life!!!

Heather Dawne Dobrott (https://www.facebook.com/heather.dobrott?fref=ufi) His family goes to their home church on Sunday night and Wednesdays and only recently started attending on Sunday morning because Cornish kept insisting. Cornish's daughters were playing in the summer kids band and I worked with the kids. They complained that EPCC was not their church and it was very clear they didn't want to be there. I am not the only one who has noticed. When Jerry went on vacation and I conducted last fall he was at his home church to see his daughters get awards for their ministry work there. He complained at my daughter's piano lessons in his home that a family should worship together for months. His family is emotionally and financially invested in their home church. He is at Eastridge for a paycheck. Brad Eames brought him in knowing he hadn't worked with a choir or organist at the church where he met him. The choir was not included in the decision and as so many have left we can see how they felt about hiring someone totally unqualified to do the job. Cornish promised to learn from the organist of 25 years and to study and go to clinics to learn. He has done nothing. He can't sing, can't teach proper vocal technique, doesn't know anything about good choral sound or diction, has no sacred music background, no organ background and won't listen to anyone who does know about these things. His arrogance and unwillingness to work with other music professionals has destroyed the music ministry plain and simple.

Today was the annual North Texas District Girls Ministries Celebration. Congratulations to all our girls who worked so hard.


Members of Eastridge Park Christian Church are apparently just now realizing after 3 hideously awful years of music that their Music Minster, Jerry Cornish is a tithing member and emotionally connected to another church. Is it any wonder the Music ministry is collapsing and the church is dying with paid staff such as this?

The video from Facebook has to be seen to be believed. Even that fantastic string group could not cover up the hideously awful choral singing. Please note I blame the incompetent director Jerry Cornish and not the incredibly talented and kind choir members who are victims of this now collapsing music ministry. Compare that to the wonderful videos from the choir just years ago and the neighboring churches showcased here which Eastridge Park Christian Church members are fleeing to shown in the previous posts.

And, more pictures of Jerry Cornish's family at their real church and this is in July a full 2 and a half years after he came in to wreck the EPCC music. Notice his wife and kids smiling in numerous photos. His poor wife doesn't look miserable and isn't sitting alone during one of Jerry's musical disasters with her eyes closed and waving her arms in the air while the rest of the congregation just looks on at his latest nonsense with disdain and confusion. Please send Cornish back to his home church and bring in someone who can give Eastridge Park the kind of music it has had and deserves.

Church members don't need to give anonymous reviews. So a fake review and then the narcissistic leadership that wants no questions asked and to have zero accountability pats themselves on the back again. Many have noted to me that the church leadership was very caring when Bro. Dan Carroll and the many other great leaders were there that have since left. Not anymore! Disgusting!

Thank you for your confidence in our church. The staff and members of Eastridge Park Christian Church truly exhibit the love of Jesus.

Interesting that the church's abusive, dishonest and corrupt leadership only responded to 1 review, when in fact the other glowing review is from an actual member. Looks like someone is paying for SEO help or fake reviews. Only 5 people are paid members of the leadership as the church has pretty much collapsed. Hmmmmm... Who would have incentive to do this dirty work? The pastor and his wife are two of the 5 paid employees. The incompetent Music Minister, Jerry Cornish, is only part time and always complains that he has no money and the other fine office lady and youth pastor I can't picture stopping that low.

Now, why have I pegged this as a fake review? Well, let's look at all 7 reviews made by this Google user. All have been made in the past 3 weeks:

Google User really REALLY gets around. First it purchased a car in Killeen, TX. Then the next week it drove 172 miles to buy another car in Carrollton, TX. Fido (otherwise known as Echo had to go all the way to Amarillo, TX to get care. That is 349 miles from Carrollton and way over 5 hours of hard driving. College Station where the A & M veterinary school is located is just two hours from Killeen, so who would drive hundreds of miles north to Amarillo? From there this person who just bought two cars and drove across the state ends up in Katy, TX at the driving school. That driving school is 593 miles and 9 hours from the vet's office in Amarillo. It is a long drive to driving school. LOL!!! After doing fabulous in driving school, Google User makes a long trip up north again to Plano, TX. That is a whopping 275 miles and 4 hours from the driving school.

But, wait.... our Google User must actually live in Cedar Park, TX just outside of Austin as the kiddos go to Little Acorn Academy there regularly. And, this prolific driver is attending Eastridge Park Christian Church which is 194 miles and 3 hours away from Cedar Park, TX. Google User must be borrowing my time travel broomstick.

Looks to me like Pastor, Pastor Pants on Fire, Dr. Scott Wooddell has some explaining to do!

Its TMEA (Texas Music Educators Association) convention time. Jerry Cornish, the Music Minister that is destroying the music ministry at Eastridge Park Christian Church, is totally unqualified as he has zero vocal or choral training. As he promised the church that he would rectify that he should be spending this Wednesday through Sunday doing all the sessions there. Then he should choose a college to attend to get the classes he needs such as voice lessons, choirs, diction, choral conducting and more so he can safely and effectively lead the church choir. This lying, incompetent clown stated in his own evaluations that he was going to do those things for the church. But,it was all lies to appease those who were catching on to the fact he is all ego and no real skills.

Before the pop crap stylings of Jerry Cornish and that idiot Pastor Scott came in, Eastridge Park Christian Church had the most talented and well respected performers in Dallas coming in. I know Merry from my days at Richland college and she is an extraordinary player. That is the kind of excellence the church had and could have again if the needed changes will be made before it completely collapses.

When will Cornish and Scott, who have been instrumental in dividing this church and running off longtime members, finally be shown the door? The music ministry and abusive and dishonest dealings by the leadership are not in any way Christian or acceptable. I have talked to many who remember Eastridge Park as having some of the best music in the area. Now, it is a laughingstock and musicians in the area want to steer clear of this joke of a music ministry and church.

Music Director Jerry Cornish's high school age daughter moved out before graduating and is now engaged before even finishing high school. I don't think he is in any position to be ministering to anybody when his home life is such a disaster. Does the church encourage 18 year olds still in high school to get engaged?

The church continues to spiral downhill. The financial situation is so desperate that needed repair and replacement of appliances isn't covered by the budget. So many have left in disgust and still the leadership does not seem willing to dialogue with us.

The church can't afford even a part-time organist and is now trying to drag in substitute players every week in order to save money. So, in addition to the incompetent fool in charge of the music ministry that has no choral, vocal, organ or sacred music background, they have no organist that can be an integral and trusted member of the music ministry.

The collapse of this little church continues as the voices of those in the congregation are silenced by the abusive and dishonest leadership.

Pastor Scott is still using his grandson as a reviewer in a desperate attempt to salvage the online reputation of himself and the church that he has run into the ground. Why the members allow this buffoon of a pastor who has not done what was promised when he was hired and his incompetent sidekick of a music minister to continue to be on the paid staff mystifies me and many others.

Pastor Gilroy is fantastic. The question is how long he will continue to serve in a church where others in the leadership are so dishonest and manipulative. How can this church survive when its own leadership simply cannot be trusted?

My faith has grown in the six years I have been a member of Eastridge Park Christian Church. I love this church, it's leadership and people. I had the opportunity to accompany the youth on a trip to see a life size replica of Noah's ark. My faith was encouraged as I walked through this amazing boat as Pastor Scott and Pastor Gilroy taught us about faith and obedience. And the ministry this church has in the community speaks volumes of its heart for people!!

Interesting that the church's abusive, dishonest and corrupt leadership only responded to 1 review, when in fact the other glowing review is from an actual member. Looks like someone is paying for SEO help or fake reviews. Only 5 people are paid members of the leadership as the church has pretty much collapsed. Hmmmmm... Who would have incentive to do this dirty work? The pastor and his wife are two of the 5 paid employees. The incompetent Music Minister, Jerry Cornish, is only part time and always complains that he has no money and the other fine office lady and youth pastor I can't picture stopping that low.

Now, why have I pegged this as a fake review? Well, let's look at all 7 reviews made by this Google user. All have been made in the past 3 weeks:


21705

Google User really REALLY gets around. First it purchased a car in Killeen, TX. Then the next week it drove 172 miles to buy another car in Carrollton, TX. Fido (otherwise known as Echo had to go all the way to Amarillo, TX to get care. That is 349 miles from Carrollton and way over 5 hours of hard driving. College Station where the A & M veterinary school is located is just two hours from Killeen, so who would drive hundreds of miles north to Amarillo? From there this person who just bought two cars and drove across the state ends up in Katy, TX at the driving school. That driving school is 593 miles and 9 hours from the vet's office in Amarillo. It is a long drive to driving school. LOL!!! After doing fabulous in driving school, Google User makes a long trip up north again to Plano, TX. That is a whopping 275 miles and 4 hours from the driving school.

But, wait.... our Google User must actually live in Cedar Park, TX just outside of Austin as the kiddos go to Little Acorn Academy there regularly. And, this prolific driver is attending Eastridge Park Christian Church which is 194 miles and 3 hours away from Cedar Park, TX. Google User must be borrowing my time travel broomstick.

Looks to me like Pastor, Pastor Pants on Fire, Dr. Scott Wooddell has some explaining to do!

"I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive."

Romans 16: 17-18

The church is being destroyed by the two faced music minister and dishonest leadership. The fine man that is caring for the church's organ and tuning the piano recommended that Music Minister, Jerry Cornish, invite some real musicians to perform in the church using the piano and organ for an incredible classical concert. One of the performers teaches at the local college and happens to be my daughter's professor. That is one of the professors that had recommended that my daughter leave Cornish's studio I must add.

Jerry Cornish and the president of the church board, Dr. Brad Eames have both made it clear that they do not have any desire to keep the organ in use and conspired to run off the Doctoral organ candidate and presumably Eames also helped to run off all the other fine organist that have served including the organist of over 20 years. Eames has opined that he doesn't appreciate classical music. He is the one responsible for the crap pop stylings of Jerry Cornish being brought into that church that had had a wonderful traditional service filled with great music for decades. Cornish has managed to run off more than half the choir and members of the congregation in the past three torturous, long years.

So, why did the two faced clowns agree to host a classical concert? Well, Cornish and the pastor are desperate for a paycheck and at this point will do anything to try and stop the mass exodus that they have caused I presume. Eames, his obnoxious wife and other family members sat several pews behind me for the classical concert. I smiled back at them numerous times and that nut bailed before the concert had ended.

Cornish is such a complete nut that even after our families acrimonious departure from that abusive church he kept trying to grab me and hug me when I came to the concert to support my daughters professor. I made it clear I wanted no contact with him and ducked away. He persisted after the concert to chase my daughter and I out peppering her with questions and acting like they have a good relationship. He defrauded us out of 5 grand for jazz piano lessons when he in fact had no credentials or background in jazz. Her professors at Richland have noted the complete lack of proper jazz training and advised she leave his studio. He totally violated her trust, has caused her endless embarrassment and what will be a fortune in extra semesters of lessons to make up for what he was paid to do and couldn't. Cornish is a total fraud and we have filed complaints with the BBB and are considering litigation. Of course litigation against a pauper will just cost us more time and money than the thousands we have lost to this creep.

The church is in such disrepair that it is a complete embarrassment. Word is out in the music community and the fantastic concerts will be hosted elsewhere in the future. The church retaining this fraud of a music minister will see the continuation of the mass exodus. Not to mention some don't want to be mauled by this guy when they come in the door. When is the church going to get that creepy guy out of there for good?

He has completely destroyed Eastridge Park's music ministry and turned them into a laughing stock. What is he imbibing to get through this garbage?

Dear friends,
Do not miss our concert this week at the Park Christian Community Church in Mesquite. In the program works by Schubert, Rachmaninov, Chopin, Mozart and Improvisations by Prof. ^&(* on the organ. Admission is free.

Address - 2701 N. TOWN EAST BLVD MESQUITE, TX 75150
Jerry Cornish, the dishonest buffoon of a music minister, lured in a local college professor and her musical partner to perform at the church on a Saturday. Cornish promised a large audience and professional courtesy. Cornish didn't even bother to announce the concert on his Facebook page, the church's Facebook page, the church's website or anywhere else I can find. Telling the 80 or so elderly people who come to their home church from all over the Metroplex is not going to fill that sanctuary.

Cornish is a liar and total fraud. The church has laughingly changed its name, but the signs around the church, website and Facebook page don't reflect this silly new name that was supposed to revitalize this dying church. The dishonesty and incompetence of the music minister and pastor have destroyed this once loving and thriving church. After all the schmoozing and promises, Cornish only got a piddling 25 people to come to this concert given by the finest of professionals. Degreed musicians such as myself will have nothing to do with this fraud, Jerry Cornish.

More definitive proof of what a total liar and fraud comes from my pursuing further studies beyond my B.M. from Texas A & M Commerce. I am studying jazz piano and jazz improvisation at the local college. I am even more painfully aware that he knows nothing about jazz piano or bass whatsoever. That is a very specialized field and even my 5 years of college piano and 4 years of organ didn't cover any jazz practices. Ask that numbskull about jazz chords, miracle voicings, so what voicings, walking a bass, poly chords, the many styles and rhythms, common practice for articulation, the many scales used and more. It is all Greek to that clown.

My professors have a Bachelor's and Master's from UNT in jazz piano studies, the top jazz school around and a Master of Arts from New York University in Jazz Saxophone Performance. All Cornish has in jazz is a lying tongue and the belief that he can sin all he wants because if he prays about it all is forgiven. And that lying fraud thinks the blood of Jesus shed for him is a total get out of jail free card. He absolutely should be sued for defrauding us out of $5,000.00 for jazz piano and bass lessons he charged us for when he had zero qualifications to teach it. His lies and professional incompetence destroyed that church ministry. He has zero qualifications in voice, choir, organ and bells as well. His deceit is a total embarrassment to our profession.

https://www.eastridgepark.com/ is down. The lipstick on a pig thing may not be working out so well. The Park Christian Community Church is still run by the same dishonest and abusive people. They weren't smart enough to have the old web address redirect to the new one:

theparkcc.church/ which does not google up well at all.

Empty pews on Palm Sunday. Dishonest and incompetent leadership in action.
