Trinity United Methodist Church 8595 Westmoreland Road, Whitesboro, NY 13492

"Definitely not a Christ centered church. They abruptly shut down a preschool program very shortly before the school year with no real reason why, leaving many families lost with no place to put their children. No compassion or empathy whatsoever. If they were deciding on shutting down the program, they should have done it in a more ethical manner. The letters sent to parents and staff were disgusting."

"I would give this church zero stars if I could. Which is shocking because just a couple weeks ago I would have rated it 5 stars, along with its Apple Tree Preschool program, and the other wonderful programs the church offered our community. It felt like a family. But not anymore. Just weeks before school was suppose to start, parents and staff were informed that the church abruptly decided to close the preschool. With no explanation. Leaving the amazing teachers and staff without jobs or severance, no notice. Leaving families scrambling to find another preschool program with openings (basically non existent this close to the start of the year). The church and its board of directors’ selfish decision has a direct, negative impact on our community. Whatever their “mission and vision” is, it certainly doesn’t include our community or our children and families. I cannot in good faith recommend them."

"1. Do no harm. 2. Do good. 3. Follow God. Three rules your religious beliefs claim to follow and yet your church has failed. How can you call yourself a Methodist and claim to love God while also harming multiple families and kids? May God have more mercy for you than you had for your community."

"The most unchristian church I have ever heard of. They are all about the $$$. Let’s leave 100 kids, their families and a bunch of employees high and dry for that almighty dollar that they clearly worship. They are the reason people turn their backs on organized religion. And they have no shame. Liars and thieves is what they are. Please find a place to worship that loves you and not just your money. 0/10*"

"The board of this church are some selfish people. They decided to shut my son’s school down for their “priorities” of what they feel is important within our community weeks before school was supposed to start. What do they find more important than our children, the future, and their families? Stop supporting this church, find a new one. Unacceptable. Even if they did change their minds, I wouldn’t want my child to go where they are not wanted. If I could give 0 stars I would. This letter seems like some bull."
