Grace World Outreach Church

perhaps the poster calling me unstable has been brainwashed by this church and was urged by Graceworld Outreach to discredit the poster.\r \r The fact is that I asked for marriage counseling and never got a reply. The person that previously posted doesn't know me and is making false accusations at best. \r \r This is a typical tactic of a cult: to discredit anyone criticizing them.\r \r You will also notice that the poster didn't give a review of the church. Their sole purpose was to discredit my review.\r \r As I stated in the review, I started attending the church because my wife was a member. I ignored the red flags that were signs this was a cult. The pastor is charismatic and controlling. He says he's there if you need him but he isn't. I was having marital issues with my wife and called the office requesting counseling. I never got a reply. I emailed the church from their website and got the same response. It is and has been my impression that a Christian church responds to the needs of their congregation. Graceworld Outreach Church is not that church by any measure. \r \r I suggest anyone looking for a church to avoid this one. Since this experience I found a church that does respond to the needs of the congregation and I believe that Graceworld is the exception, not the rule. more

Perhaps the previous respondent has very serious mental issues and this is the reason for his difficulties with his spouse, family, church and any other person who is unfortunate enough to have to deal with him. more

I cannot say that any church is better than the next, because they are all houses of the Lord, and are all the body of Christ...but I can say that Grace World Outreach Church has the most powerful presence of God that I have ever encountered. When that beautiful music starts to play, & the voices start to sing... you can't help but become overwhelmed with such a powerful move of the Holy Spirit! I could say that everything about it is totally awesome, & majestic, but there is no earthly word good enough to discribe the presence of the Lord. Not to mention all of the programs, events/concerts & different classes they have for every age, and for everything! If you want to grow more spiritually...they've got it! And of course I can't leave out the wonderful Pastors & teachers they have. Such an annointing upon them all! Pastor Garcia & his wife Pastor Nelly are so kind, and speak every bit of truth! Pastor Donnie & Mrs. Cindy Lewis are absolutely awesome with the youth group; Chuck & Angela Huggins (Mrs. Angela), who happen to have a powerful annointing upon them which allows them to be thee best teachers you will ever come across!!!.... (that of course is not including the Greatest Teacher, Jesus Christ!!) Pastor Bryan Warren & Family who are amazing with the music, and those are just a few of the great leaders at Grace. My husband, our 4 children, & myself have been attending Grace World for over 2 yrs now. We have all grown tremendously in the Lord Jesus Christ, and continue to grow. If you're looking for a kind, thoughtful, very giving, full of Holy Spirit power church, and want to grow more spiritually...then you'll find your home at Grace. We love Grace World Outreach Church! Pros: Most Powerful Holy Presence Cons: None more
