The roots of this church are in Hope City Sheffield (If you read the bio on the website, that is where the pastor original came from) and that church is just the same. It's all fake. Prosperity teaching, hounding people for money each week, even people sharing how much they are giving from the front of church. The manipulation and control isn't always obvious, it's done discreetly behind the scenes, in one to one conversations. But the set up for the control is done from the front of church, for example 'Those in leadership are wise, they will step in to try and stop you making mistakes, it is good to listen to them.' All subtly laying ground for control. I was on the receiving end of comments like 'You need to learn to submit to the leadership' and 'you need to learn to do whatever the leadership say.' (at Hope City church). This would never be uttered from the front but it was subtly reinforced by relentless praise of leaders and coercing to obey in sermons.
If this church is like Hope City I'm not surprised people are writing these comments. The pastor was clearly at Hope City long enough to pick up their garbage teachings and brainwashing.
Also, Hope City Church had a serious issue with a lack of confidentiality. The people in positions of trust would break confidence and have a way of drawing information out of you so they could use it to control you.
