    My family and I have been attending for over a year now. We needed a place for my kids to be poured…read moreinto and help build strong biblical foundations. The kids ministry and Jr High ministry have been an absolute blessing. The small groups Bible studies "rooted" and "Jesus Changes Everything" have been so great for my wife and I. We were a little overwhelmed when we first attended, new and in a bigger church than our previous, and these small groups helped us find a great community, a group that will pray with you, and celebrate life victories with you. No place is perfect. But for my family and I, it's definitely become a place we have no trouble calling home.

    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.

    I've been to a few of the Calvary Chapel churches just to see if I could detect any fundamental…read moredifferences between them. Every one I've been to (except for one) adheres to the expositional method of Bible teaching, meaning the Bible is taught verse by verse. Calvary Chapel Long Beach is no exception. This particular Calvary Chapel does not have its own facility, so they meet for worship in the main auditorium of Marshall Academy of the Arts. The senior pastor is Roger Cochran, who teaches the Word of God verse by verse. I've been to the midweek Bible studies and on one night, Pastor Roger was out of town, so his son Andrew filled in, and he did a really great job. Andrew had a lot of enthusiasm for teaching the Word, which was quite refreshing and encouraging to see. The Sunday service meets at 9:30 a.m. The midweek study meets every Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. There is also a men's ministry, women's ministry, teen ministry and children's ministry. Additionally, there is a college group and a group for married couples. This is a solid, Bible-teaching church worth checking out. The people who attend are friendly and welcoming, too.

    Amazing fellowship to be found here! Senior Pastor Roger,…read moreAssociate Pastor Andrew are true shepherds who go line by line through the bible and bring those words to life through the Holy Spirit. You will be given a huge helping of God's word each time you go so bring your spiritual appetites and make room for dessert! 10/12/15 -Still here! Love this place. I have continued to grow spiritually and I am maturing as a Christian even when i dont want to sometimes.....LOL. Anyhow, the Joyful Life Womens' study is on Monday nights and it rocks! If you want to learn about Jesus and have a meaningful relationship with Him, this is the place to go. You will know the truth as you go through God's word... not someones opinion or what they want you to know, but what God wants you to know....
