We tried to accept all of the drastic changes that were going on in our old church but we were unsuccessful. We finally began looking for a new church family. We found it in The Crossing Church!

Thank you to Billie and his staff on creating a loving and accepting environment, it feels like home.

This church is very welcoming, I was greeted with such a warm greeting as I walked towards the entrance of Grace Church. Service was wonderful, I enjoyed the pastor's message. After our 9:30 am Sunday's service, we went to the food bank to select some food to take home. Thank you Grace Church!

Below was my experience when I was there on a day in April 2026 to participate it. I came in at 9:20 AM. I left my rolling cart in line and went back in my car to sleep because the food bank would not open until 12PM. There was no one behind me at the time I left my cart there. I was the 4th one in line. I came out my car around 11:25AM to get ready to come in once the food bank opens. I saw a tall lady standing behind my rolling cart. Around past noon, when the food bank opened, there was a voluntary lady whose name "Eve" (pronounced as EVI) came out. The lady who stood next and behind my cart told EVE that I was not here earlier, but only my cart. Eve immediately told me to step out of the line without asking me to verify what lady just said. It was unfair that EVE treated me as I was invisible, and did not respect me who is older than her a lot. Therefore, EVE let the lady cut in, and came in first. I spoke up. I insisted telling Eve that I left my cart in line at 9:20 AM, and went back to sleep in my car. Eve smartly (in opposite way) told me that, " I was not here because she came here at 9:00AM." I said, "You were here at 9:00 AM but you had been inside the whole time so you did not see anything to believe whatever that lady said, and you don't let me have my voice. Again, I got here around 9:20AM how could you see me at 9:00AM?" I did not say anything bad at all, but EVE told me at once that if I continued talking she would prohibit me to come inside the food bank from today and on." She repeated again loudly that she wouldn't let me to come to the church forever if I did not stop talking to her. She made me so embarrass with other people who were waiting in line at that time like I was a committed crime person at that moment. EVE made me waiting forever until 12:45 to let me come inside the food bank. From the 4th one in line, I was the 30th one to come inside. That was how discriminate EVE did to show HER POWER to be a church member there. I wondered that what did I do wrong but telling her the correct story. Furthermore, THE GRACE CHURCH IS THE JESUS' HOUSE for any one who believes in JESUS to come praying. It is NOT her own place/house. She is not one of pastors either to disallow me coming to the church. On whose behalf, Eve had a right to tell me that she could disallow me to come to the church when I have not done anything wrong. EVE even told me that she is the church member. I believed that even to be pastors, they would not disallow any one to come to the church when they believes in JESUS, and have not done anything wrong. Thank you very much for reading my posting about my experience which has still stressed my soul for several weeks now. I would like to bring it up so that no one would have gone through this very bitter experience like me.

I am still searching for a church like this, or like my church in Baltimore in my new area in WA State. If you have an opportunity to attend, you will be filled up and then some by the end of the service! Grateful for Brian, Raechelle & Ally! Good to see Grayson! Happy friends Ron, Don and Pam joined us, and looking forward to my next visit! I will never look at the storm on the sea story the same way again! Where is your FAITH, asks Jesus! When I felt fear a few days ago, I asked myself, remembering this service "WHERE IS MY FAITH". And I felt the peace that I only experience when it comes from our Lord! Great message, very applicable to daily living! Thank you!

It was maybe my 3rd or 4th week at the church and Pastor Henry said, "There's someone here with a cataract in their eye." I went forward expecting others with eye problems also to go forward. But I was the only one. Then it hit me: God Almighty had spoken to the Pastor about me! Pastor Henry and I had never even been introduced at that point. He didn't know me from Adam! But he laid hands on me : my eye was 70% healed by that night and 100% healed by the next day. Two days later the ophthalmologist said, "You have very healthy eyes." I hadn't been able to see clearly out of my left eye for months! The Promise Church is the real deal! God is the real deal!
