Grace Christian Fellowship Dayton

Now that I have moved from the toxic community that I was in, I am now in a better place to bring this to light. I wrote this review on August 25,2021.

I am a so-called Af-Am wife +mother of 3. I’ve been going through what appears to be + resembles a Papal Bull of 1452 through 1455 that started in 2019. I used to attend + was an active member for roughly 9 years at GCF. GCF was a small church at the time when I congregated there. I loved being there. I had never experienced a church that believed in community living + being there for one another the way that GCF showed me. Now I see how that can work against you. The church was + still is predominantly caucasian, which was not a problem for me + my family. GCFs goal was to have a more racially inclusive church. There were very few Af-Am members at the church. “If they came, they would not last longer than a year, ” said Greg W, who is the Sr pastor there. This is a church that prides itself on being separated from the sins of the medieval Roman Catholic Church, but demonstrates so much of its characteristics + pagan practices. This is the Sole reason we left. When we left, we were not excommunicated. We sat down w/ 2 elders before we left explaining the doctrines that we found error with. Nothing more, nothing less. Presently, we are experiencing ongoing harassment from an active member from GCF - Tiffany H, who is our next-door neighbor. She has tried to fight me + my husband + lied to her husband Nathan H that we were trying to “jump her” + went “ghetto'' on her. This couldn’t be further from the truth. We have audio recording of her admitting in front of her husband that she lied +doesn’t know why. She then proceeded with this lie + made a false police report that we were making idle threats. This is a continual pattern for her James 1: 8. She yelled at my kids screaming “shut the f up”, + told members from GCF not to come over to our house because we were dangerous + evil. After all of this, she is giving me unwanted conversation. I told her to keep distance from me+my family. Moments later, she comes out w/ a knife in front of our house. She then says “you better get used to it”. Recently, she gave me 2 middle fingers from her backyard window while my kids watched her. We’ve made attempts to bring her back to reality by my husband presenting this concern firstly to her husband Nathan H, then lastly the evidence to the judge+police. You would think this would have corrected her behavior but sadly no. Now Leah G.the Elder‘s wife of John G.was the perfect enabler for this behavior. Instead of correcting her, she is passive+easily manipulated by Tiffany‘s conduct. Instead of doing what’s right + being a lead sister, she’s protecting her own. Nathan H. + John G.are nowhere to be found in guiding their wives to be at peace with all men Rom 12: 18,1Tim 3: 5. We are not the only ones who are experiencing hatred from her. My other next-door neighbor which happens to be Muslim is dealing with the same problem. Tiffany H.almost ran over her son in the back alley. The female neighbor, also a wife + mom of 3, wanted to talk about what happened, but she ran in the house. My neighbor called the police + filed a report when Tiffany refused to answer the door. Later on, Leah tells the neighbor that she needs to keep more watch of her son + this was all a misunderstanding. Leah told her the police being called was unnecessary vs telling Tiffany that it is not wise to be doing 35 in an alley. It seems she’s attacking everybody who is not a Christian. Not only does Leah G.neglect to rebuke Tiffany, she also refuses to correct her own children. We have videos of her child deliberately putting trash by my property +her kids mocking+taunting my kids. This is my experience +caution to the People of Color considering going to this church.

My 10 year old granddaughter takes piano lessons there and she getting pretty good

Relaxed worship service, knowledgeable and loving parish. Would attend weekly

A very caring church family is found here. The teaching is very sound Biblically.
