I attended and volunteered at the International Church of Las Vegas for 3 years. One thing that really bothered me was how often the leaders would ask us for money. Plus, they would claim that God would curse our finances if we refused to give 10 percent of our earnings to the church. On the plus side, I did receive some compassionate counseling from certain leaders there. Unfortunately, the heirarchy in general led to my demise at this church. When a disagreement arose between certain leaders and myself, my perspective was discounted, and when I tried to reconcile with them, they chose instead to dismiss me indefinately from the church (hence, my demise). Beware of this church.
Pros: presence of God, some compassion
Cons: authoritarian, harsh preaching, overly long services
