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.

The pastors and teachers faithfully preach the Word of God, and their conclusions are firmly…read moregrounded in scripture. They refuse to compromise with the false teachings of this world or to those with itching ears who seek to justify unrepentant sin. The people here are genuinely friendly -- whether in community gatherings, support groups, or classes. There are also designated volunteers ready to pray with you. Several months ago I suffered a severe sciatica attack and could barely put weight on my right leg. One woman noticed my pain as I slowly made my way into church and prayed for me, and others did the same on different occasions. Today I am in great shape, and I'm grateful for the care and prayer I received.

I have been coming here for years, I went here back in high school…read more The review is based on my experience with a group leader in the women's community on mondays. The young lady who facilities them is incredible and speaks in such an authentic and welcoming way. But there are group leaders in there who are saying things they should not be saying. The woman said that everybody has to turn to Jesus and be saved or they will not make it to heaven. Even people of different religions. I'm so tired of Christians shaming other people of different beliefs and religions. And unfortunately some pastors speak in languages that make Christianity feel like a cult. When you are mature and are a truth seeker, you will see the religious cognitive dissonance and unfortunately this church has leaders with them. Always use your discernment, listen to God and not the mouth of men who manipulates God's word & the church to make themselves look holy. Fortunately there are a few leaders & pastors here who speak with light and doesn't manipulate the bible or God's word to shame people. The ones that see past the facade of the old religious speech. They speak to encourage and uplift. These are your true leaders. Always trust your gut and find those who you resonate with when you decide to attend this church. And no need to write a respond about me writing to guest services. Train your group leaders. Change the dialogue. Teach people to be Christ like, to be unconditional loving, how to stand up to truth and actually take action instead of being passive, judgmental, shameful, or hateful of others for not being Christian enough. Disappointing experience. Become your own leader, find your people, and seek God.

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!

If you're looking for a mega-church that provides moving and awe-inspiring music or a well-known speaker and tons of ministry opportunities, then we've heard great things about Cottonwood and Sea Coast Grace just a few miles south of us. But if you're looking for a small church (we're about 50 people) that teaches the Bible verse-by-verse (we're going through Exodus right now) and expresses their worship to God in humble ways (only a guitar and drum duet), come check us out! We have enough hospitality and a welcoming spirit to outshine any congregation. ;) Oh, by the way, some people may want to know this before they attend. OCCC is a predominantly Asian-American congregation, including Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, and Korean. But we also have a few non-asian Brothers and Sisters that complete us. :) There is a 9:30 a.m. Japanese-speaking worship service; a 11:00 a.m. English-speaking service; and a 2:00 p.m. Korean-speaking service. Feel free to contact me if I can help answer any questions you have regarding small groups, prayer meetings, discipleship groups, children's ministries, and anything else. It would be my pleasure. :)

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!?
