attended Seacoast Grace from 2017 onward, serving faithfully as a lead usher, in the choir, and in…read morechildren's ministries (VBS/RFK). I was deeply invested and invited many family and friends to join. Sadly, my experience eventually became one of hurt and disillusionment. ​In 2020, during the Rooted program, a confrontation occurred where I reacted in anger to disturbing language from another attendee. I am transparent about my mistake; I used profanity and I own that. However, leadership focused solely on my reaction while ignoring the context of my life: I was currently navigating a divorce, the death of my brother, a job loss, and a traumatic physical attack that left my hand severely injured. Not one person from the church visited me during my hospitalization. Under the leadership of Connie Surratt and Autumn Igo, my serving privileges were removed, then quietly restricted even after being "reinstated." I felt intentionally hidden and denied any real pastoral care despite my attempts to engage. ​Two Easters ago, I was accused by security of yelling at someone at the altar. This was entirely false I was actually greeting longtime friends from my Bible study. This culminated in a scene where a leader (Gwen) physically grabbed my arms and verbally assaulted me in the parking lot, witnessed by other volunteers (Dean and Janet). Despite it being proven that the accusations against me were false, no apology was ever offered. I remained "on penance," feeling like a child walking on eggshells with angry parents. The breaking point was the treatment of the vulnerable. On a day we were taught about helping the community, I saw a pregnant woman with children being surrounded by security and recorded by staff. When I asked to help and feed her, I was told she was being removed at the instruction of Autumn. I later found the woman around the corner in tears; she asked if she could pray for me. It was heartbreaking. This, alongside a later incident where a man from the church harassed me at a post office for "trying to buy my way into heaven" by helping another woman with diapers, showed a distorted view of mercy within the culture. ​Three weeks ago, I was approached by Autumn and Daryl after a service. Despite my request for witnesses, Autumn made serious, false accusations of verbal and physical abuse against me in front of my friends. I was told to leave and never return under threat of police involvement. This felt like a coordinated attempt to discredit me and separate me from the community I love. ​Since leaving, I've met many others with strikingly similar stories. If my full story had been heard openly rather than discussed behind closed doors, I believe I would have been met with understanding. Instead, I felt watched rather than shepherded, and defined by assumptions instead of relationship. ​I am not perfect, but what I experienced was not restoration it was control and image management. I am grateful for the hundreds of kind individuals in the congregation who reflect Christ; they are the reason I stayed so long. I pray for accountability at Seacoast Grace. Revelation reveals the heart of a church, and I speak this truth with love for those who have been pushed away like me.

I haven't stopped going since and have made it my home. All the preachers Preach Gods word from the Bible and you can feel God's love and power as soon as you walk in. God loves us all.

You know what they say, Church is like your family? Well, this is so true when I first came here…read more Not knowing everyone at first, but the people here made an effort to make me feel like at home. It's the nicest feeling! There is a good mix of the different ethnicity that comes here for Sunday service. Most are Japanese / Chinese but there are also Indian, Taiwanese, and Italian and a few others. Everyone is welcome. As 1 John 3:23 "And this is his command, to believe in the name of his son , Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us". As for the service, Pastor Daryl makes sure you don't feel like an outsider while coming here. He will gets to know you up close and personal, like family. A dynamic speaker, Pastor Daryl speaks using relevant and recent events so we can all relate and understand the words of God. Upstairs, there is also Japanese bible study for the kids. Really good for social bonding with kids 5-10 years old. So if you're looking for a close knit Christian church in North Orange County, look no further than coming here!

This is the friendliest church I have ever visited. It is pretty easy to meet everyone who goes to this church within a couple of weeks since about fifty people attend regularly. Moreover, it's fun to get involved with seasonal events they hold as well as year-round Bible study groups. I'm a part of the college/young adult group that meets about twice a month, and getting to know the people in this group and participating in activities together has been a great blessing. Sunday services usually consist of the following: -- Worship in music (usually a mix of contemporary songs and traditional hymns) -- Asking for prayer requests from the congregation and praying over these new requests as well as on-going requests -- Sermon that goes through a passage of the Bible verse-by-verse

First I'd like to start off with sweet, smiling sincere Pastor Steve a very nice and warming leader! Pastor Ron a great teacher who really knows the Word of God and explains it very well! Pastor Brian McDaniels a very nice, funny and entertaining, making the Bible fun! Pastor Jeremy also very nice, kick back, respectful and makes you feel welcomed as well, while making learning fun! And then there's Billy whom was the reason for my poor review.... He was condescending, controlling and rude! I never ever had anyone at a church treat us like that. I asked if he needed help he said no with an attitude, I prayed over 2 people and got into trouble, I went to visit a nice lady in her office Fire Fighters for Christ and he went in and interrupted me. Every time I'd walk away he'd find me. So he kicked us out. Wow! I just pray that he does not treat anyone else like that! It truly made me feel as though I was in school and sent to the principals office. He isn't the lead pastor so I have no idea how he got that authority!? Btw, I know someone else got into trouble as well. Wow! What is this.... that they allow them to do what he wants!? He needs definite prayer. Praying that God speaks to him and changes his attitude and softens his heart. I want no one to ever be treated like a kid. Who does he think he is!?

His leadership is exceptional, and it truly shows throughout the entire church. I recommend checking out the Church's YouTube channel and his teachings, especially his series on the Gospel of Matthew. Watching those will give you a sense of his teaching style, personality, and what the worship services are like. My teens are genuinely engaged and seem to be developing real, growing relationships with the Lord. I've honestly never seen anything quite like it. The youth groups and teens all meet on a Thursday night, not on Sunday at Sunday school. This allows them to be in the service with their parents on Sundays to get acclimated to the word of God that is being taught. I really appreciate that Pastor Joe teaches straight from the Bible--he literally has it in hand and doesn't rely on a pulpit or laptop. He's also a professor at a Christian university and holds a doctorate in divinity with a focus on Old Testament studies. His preaching centers on authentic Christianity--what it means to live daily in relationship with God through Jesus, the Messiah. For those who want to take their faith seriously, this church is a great place to be, and I truly love that. There are also many groups and classes you can join to learn and grow alongside others. I haven't noticed anything theologically off, overly charismatic, dry, or unbiblical. I know what it's like to search for a good church! It sucks! It's like having to date somebody for three or four times only to find out they're not the one to keep. Overall, I'm confident that this is a truly solid place to grow in your faith.
