When you are seeking a new church, if you are asking, "Will I be accepted, or will I be judged? With what I have done or what has happened in my past, do I even belong?," and if in the Lord's Sovereignty He has blessed you after you've suffered severe trauma by coming to you in a dream (as He did me), then be on your guard with the head pastor of this church, Travis Allen. He boasts that he is a Navy SEAL, and that he organized the ENTIRE Strange Fire conference, yet the apostle Paul wrote in 2 Cor. 10:17-18, "Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord. For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends." And Paul also wrote in Gal. 6:14, "May I never boast in anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." Additionally, he was a border patrol, and border patrols are notorious for their abusive treatment of women and children. Perhaps that explains his ghastly treatment of me when I took a wheelchair cab to celebrate Easter at the church at which I was baptized, and to give a rough draft of my testimony to the widow of the pastor who founded the church (she knows of my dream). My friend was not there, however, and I ended up sharing my testimony with another church member. I also asked Travis if I could make an appt, with him, as I wanted to discuss with him the fact that 1 Thess. 5:20-21 and 1 John 4:1, command us not to quench the Spirit, not to despise prophecies (and as John MacArthur said, that means the people who speak for God), but we are to EXAMINE everything and test the spirits to see whether they are from God, like the noble Bereans in Acts 17:11, who examined "the Scriptures daily to see if this were so"-- --yet NO ONE associated with the Strange Fire conference DOES this, much less heeds the 5 criteria for examining extrabiblical revelations established by John MacArthur in the "Strange Fire" book. WHY IS THAT??? Unknown to me, the man with whom I'd shared my testimony whispered in Travis's ear that I had spoken of a "mystical experience." All I knew was that Travis invited me to dinner with his family. I declined, saying it wasn't feasible in my chair. He insisted, saying his kids could carry me into his house. I was touched by his kindness and accepted his invitation thinking it would be nice to celebrate Easter with my brothers and sisters in Christ. As we left the parking lot, however, the unthinkable happened. Travis turned around, and with an ugly expression on his face, said, "And I don't want you talking about a mystical experience." I had no intention of talking about it at his house, but I informed him I would not deny that Jesus came to me in a dream in 1973. So he turned the car around and kicked me out of his car. As I sat in the church parking lot awaiting my wheelchair cab, crying, shaking and feeling utterly humiliated and shamed, I asked him why he even invited me to dinner. He said, "Because I wanted WITNESSES." First of all, Jesus said in Mt. 18:15-17 that if someone offends you, go to HIM and tell him, just between the two of you. If he doesn't listen, THEN take witnesses. The man with whom I'd shared my testimony should have told me he was offended by my talking about a "mystical experience," and Travis should have had nothing to do with it. But if Travis HAD known about it, then he also should have spoken with me about it privately, and if I "didn't listen," the WITNESS against me would have been the man with whom I spoke. But WHY is someone to whom Jesus came in a dream OFFENSIVE??? Why aren't they obeying the commands in 1 Thess. 5:20-21 and 1 John 4:1 in examining extra-biblical revelations? Are they not being guilty of despising prophecies, which 1 Thess. 5:20-21 commands us not to do? Why even HAVE the Strange Fire conference and write the "Strange Fire" book establishing 5 criteria for examining claims if the "criteria" is to kick someone out of your car before you've even heard her dream (and all the Scriptures that explained it to her)??? Then Travis cruelly informed me I have no fear of God, and said we're all going to stand before Him in judgement someday. But it says in Proverbs 6:18 that one of the things that Jesus hates, one of the things that are an abomination to him is "a heart that devises wicked schemes." Travis Allen's Easter dinner invitation was a sham, a set-up. His intent was not to fellowship with me, but to shame me before his wife and children and set me up as a bad example, and no doubt display his "religiosity" to his new church. Yet Jesus said in Mt. 25:40, "Whatever you have done unto the least of one of these, you have done it unto ME," so in God's eyes Travis just kicked Jesus out of his car, yet he says I'M the one with no fear of God. Travis Allen "strained out a gnat" (Mt. 23:24) of a mystical experience, then swallowed the camel of violating the commands in 1 Thess. 5:20-21, 1 John 4:1. And Travis said he wanted witnesses, so he now has "witnesses." read more

This pastors at this church teach solid truth from the Word of God, verse by verse. If you've been attending a church that focuses on feeling good about yourself, a rock n' roll worship time where the focus is more on the performers than praising God, charismatic "filling of the spirit," sermons that use flash and funny stories more than the Bible, or a church that uses lots of phrases about being "For You" or "For __(city name)__" and making worship a wonderful "experience" for you, etc - and you're ready to make church about God again and find a new church home, then you will love it here, because it's all about Christ and the Bible. If you find fault with the music, the tone of a speaker, the length of the sermon, or the truth being taught, don't stop coming. It may be a difficult transition, but stick with us a while. You will soon learn that church isn't about those things, and it's not for your entertaining pleasure. As you hear truth taught from the Bible verse by verse each week, you will quickly learn that it's actually all to glorify God. Lies, slander, and hateful reviews will follow a church that stands on biblical truth. After all, the world hated Him first. I highly recommend Grace Church in Greeley to anyone to anyone looking for a Biblically sound church where the truth is taught weekly, the people are loving, and glorifying God is the focus. read more

Before I start I first must say that there are true believers there who love the Lord Jesus Christ yet I pray they escape the tyranny of "graceless church's" elders and lead pastor. If you're into hyper pietism, legalism and having your whole life governed by men who cannot practice what they preach this is the church for you. The elders there believe that they are above any criticism and if you challenge them when they are being unbiblical you will be met with hostility. They have most (not all) there convinced that they as the elders are to be obeyed at all times. They will lay heavy burdens upon you and won't even lift a finger to help. Once you sin here there is no getting back into their good graces. You will always be watched by their spies they have dispersed throughout the congregation and you'll never be accepted. They weren't always this way but now if you're not perfect, you will not fit in there. They should really change the name because it is the most graceless church in town. Avoid this place at all costs if you're a sinner in need of the Savior. Go here if you've reached righteousness on your own. There are other good churches in town, this is not one of them. read more

This Church is absolutely ludicrous. The Elders are so out of line it's insane. They do NOT follow Jesus' teachings AT ALL! The fact that they call other churches trying to convince them to shun families who leave their congregation shows that they are obsessive, egotistical and controlling in ways that are not allowed. They do nothing but harrass families and stalk them even when they move out of state. I am disgusted by them. Those who stay in their congregation are brainwashed and are trapped in the cult. John 4:1: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." I warn anyone thinking of attending this church. They are dangerous people to get involved with. They have told families to stop talking to their own son's and daughters. They beat down families and cause marital issues then say they are the only ones who can fix them. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CHURCH! I pray for the safety of those attending and pray God opens the eyes of those who have been tricked by these Elders. It's so sad, but true. Nothing I have just stated is opinion, it is FACT. read more

I have never been so hurt by a church in my life. Wanting the church to be holy and sinless they fail to represent Christ. They do not extend grace to a hurting sinner; instead, while running the race, they kick the fallen man and demand him to get back up or the Lord will not be pleased with him. There is an unhealthy view of submission to the elders, and at times messages are preached full of opinion instead of scripture and gospel. They teach that the church is a learning center, where you gain knowledge. For being called Grace, it's graceless. For claiming to be the only good church, it's deceiving. This church breaks my heart. I pray for it everyday. read more

My rating for this church: People: **** They are friendly and helpful. They made me feel welcome. Environment **** Love the singing and worship atmosphere. Teaching * You CANNOT call Travis Allen a Godly man. He preaches well but he does not practice what he preaches. He has this reputation while he was a pastor in California as well as when he was in the military. I would never go to a church where he is pastor. I find that he is a braggart and someone who is probably more interested in the paycheck than really shepherding a flock. I would not be surprised if he were found to be one of the ministers who was found on Ashley Madison. read more

It's a cult. You get in and then you can never leave. If you leave, they try to kick you out. Then everyone shuns you and they call it holy. read more
