The pastor was literally crowd funding during a sermon telling the congregation that Jesus wanted…read morethem to buy the property next door, pressuring people to contribute more than they normally would. He's also gone on incoherent rants about astrology and generally makes no sense. Dude thinks he's a rockstar, but he's really a misguided idiot. Save your brain cells.

I've been attending this church for three years now, and from the moment I walked through the…read moredoors, I felt like I had found a second family. The warm and welcoming atmosphere is truly special--everyone makes you feel right at home. The pastor is exceptional at capturing your attention, delivering messages that are not only engaging but also deeply rooted in the word of God. His ability to both entertain and enlighten is a rare gift that keeps you connected throughout the service. One of the best parts of this church is the variety of groups you can get involved in. I'm part of the soccer group, and it's been an absolute blast. The people are wonderful, and it really feels like a family both during and after church. The connections I've made here have been invaluable, and I've learned so much through the sermons, growing closer to God in the process. If you're considering whether or not to attend, I wholeheartedly invite you to join us. I hope you'll find a group that resonates with you, and I wish you a blessed day. Thank you for reading!

The husband/wife pastor team are a young, energetic couple who have truly embraced the community they lead. The music was passionate and genuine and the people were very friendly.

If you live in the area it would be a great church community to be a part of!!!

Although I do not attend King of Grace, I have visited before and I know some people who attend…read moreregularly--so I do know a bit about the place. The pastor is very intelligent, definitely someone who knows a lot about theology and bible study. The worship is basically standard contemporary style, think Chris Tomlin. The sermons are very much expository style, usually preaching through one book at a time. Again, bible study is definitely a strength of the pastor. As far as theology goes, think John Piper or Wayne Grudem. They are reformed, but not really the types that obsess all the time about being a pure 5-point Calvinist. They are certainly not cessationists, but you probably won't hear anyone shouting in tongues during their services. There is no pressure with the offerings. They are really open about finances and the budget. Demographically there are a lot of families there, many homeschoolers I think. Mainly professional suburban families, if I recall correctly. Since the last review was posted, they have gotten a nice building right near Bradford Common. I think that attendance is around 100ish at this point, too.

Pastor Gary McClenthen is a warm, sincere pastor, who really cares about his congregation. His sermons really make you think about what it is to be a Christian. He preaches about how God is all love. Jesus Christ is our savior and intercessor. The devil is the accuser. God will forgive all of our sins if we repent and turn to Jesus Christ. Maplewood Baptist Church is a warm and welcoming church. The people are warm and caring. Sometimes, the church building may not feel that warm, because there are problems with the furnace. However, it is worth the small discomfort to come and be among friends, who really care about each other.

Father Ron is the worst priest I have ever encountered in my life. He tried to cut off a son's…read moreeulogy of his mother during her funeral, proclaimed to the whole church he was walking out, yelled at the congregation confrontationally, and then proceeded to patronize those in the church throughout the mass. He made disgustingly degrading comments about the community of Lawrence, MA and disrespected the deceased's career working there for over 30 years. He proceeded to reprimand parishioners about how they received communion at the funeral and yell at several of them. All of this occurred after he yelled at the family of the deceased prior to the service because they were "taking up too much space". He also locked the doors before the start of the ceremony so no one else could enter. Lastly, he forbid flowers the family sent from being allowed in the church. I have never seen such disgusting behavior from someone who proclaims to be a member of the clergy and should be sharing the word of God. He should be beyond ashamed of his behavior and disgusted with his actions. My entire family was baptized and married at the Star of the Sea Church, along with several communions and confirmations. And I can confidently say I will never return to this church.
