I became a member of this church in 2013. It has been 21 years since I’ve been a member here and I am exactly 30 years old. It took me 8 years to make this type of post. I’ve been going to this church since my first year of college in Texas and second year of college overall. I have given my student loans , also grants, And anything I make from my jobs as far as income or salary in a 10% range. I started going to the church more periodically every Wednesday and Sunday during the time I was pregnant and 2014 till the year of 2016 of my mother passing. I asked for help from this church after giving nearly $50,000 and funds of my own money plus what I’ve gotten from school. Every time I receive from school I will give 10% of that. After my mom passed and I only asked for 5000 compared to what I have given even now. And I won’t stop giving, because of that I have and our Lord and Savior. But because of this church, my faith has declined, not in our Lord and savior but in the church itself, even versus the state. I was the declined for help as I’m sure a lot have been. I even appealed the decline that I was given and I was told that the reason why I was declined because The 50,000 that I’ve given is not enough to get at least 5000 or less back. I gave them money out of the love of my heart not for the church but for our Lord and savior. I was raised on principles, morals, love, prosperity, karma, and God will supply everything you need! After my decline my appeal, and being declined my appeal I was blessed 10 times over. But it was only God that kept my faith. The church declining my mental health and if it wasn't for God coming and showing the love that I expected to receive from The church not because I felt like I was owed because I felt that the church was a place that I was told every night or morning I came there on Wednesdays or Sundays or any day that was a place I can come to for help but I repeatedly declined after my I asked for help one more time was the declined and told to appeal. I love because they represent Christianity and the humanity God wants us to be. But this church not just this location this church as a whole organization and business has showed me that it is just that. A business. Don't get your hopes up thinking that this church is for the people when they are only for the money. I watched over Time since I was 19 year old when I first started in THIS church till now at 30 that after I turn maybe 23 years old that the dynamics started changing as far as offering and the offering used to come around as an offering for the church or the building fund and now it comes around as a part of “do you want to contribute to trips to Africa to...
Read moreMoved to houston from Louisiana, was looking for a church home for me & my family to be apart of and enjoy the fellowship with other believers, seen that they had like 5 job positions opening so I applied for that as well I have been working in the church since a youth & I am a Christian hip hop artist by the name of Surve but many know me as Strategoi Fabe, was very excited to go there after seeing the commercials on Tv, walked in met this nice white lady she gave me an app very nice! never noticed my skin color or my tattoos she treated as a child of God and accepted me for who I was just a father trying to get a job & get my family closer to God, 2 black ladies walked in I guess they ran the office, & I am black just so you know! Walked up to hand the app to the lady I spoke with at first and one of the black ladies grabs before the other could get it, looked me up & down like i was a piece of trash on the street, i tried to talk to her she didn't care about nothing coming out of my mouth as if i was invisible it really hurt ? Im a man and i could never treat a human being the way she treated me! But as a Christian as a believer? It just don't make since to me, I am apart the youth the community & cherish what i do i love saving lives, and helping others, because of the life i never had and love that Jesus shed for me on that cross, (Anyway) i tried to look pass her rude & ungodly attitude and asked her about the church and the hours letting her know we just moved here! Again never shared Christ with me, never looked me in the eye, wouldn't give me a conversation about God or the job we very happy to send me away from there doors, i just can't believe it, still in shock!! But I guess this is what we are up for in Houston Tx but would like everyone who are true believers & true prayer warriors to send prayers to me and my family I will never give up... We moved here to get our kids better schooling & they are doing great so we thank God for that, God...
Read moreDear Pastor We attended service today it was very disappointing and disgraceful no acknowledgement about what Charlie Kirk deserved as discipline and good servant to God, when our president was almost assassinated we were disgusted no prayers for a child of God , your church didnt need to take a political stand just prayer for a child of God. Only crickets. We attended here for over a decade and today was final straw a disciple and good servant of our heavenly father murdered for his voice of the love for Jesus and his /,our faith encouraging youth to go to church for all to share and experience. Your church has expanded in Youth presence because of Charlie Kirk its obvious.. I'M HEAVY HEART HOW CAN A CHURCH DO THIS. No prayers or acknowledgement that Charles Kirk death is unacceptable and showing him no respect, he was a Brave faithful servant of God. Just a generalize statement. Heartless .Displayed your priority your not serving God only church pockets self fulfillment. Charlie Kirk death impacted all Real Christians across the world shame on you pastor n Grace Church. At End we are all accountable on judgment day. Today has woken up our eyes No courage to stand for our lord and savior which what a church fundamental purpose is. We will seek a church that has courage and serves God truth not the church pockets and misconception, but the real truth about the bible. May god have mercy of your cowardness. Your Church is all about money no real substance Today God display the lies. After your Service. Charlie Kirk deserved to be acknowledged!!! Shame on you all. You will all be accountable on Judgment . I will ensure all platform in social media outlets are not mislead by your churches fake agenda as a strong Bold Christian. My voice with be echoe...
