Grace Church of Glendora

I can’t believe

I have been going to Grace since 1997. I went through Our Time (mommy and me classes), Awanas, bible study, and VBS. I left home after high school and went to many different Baptist churches throughout the states. Eventually I came back to San Dimas and tried out Faith community which was way too overwhelming and flashy for me. I really enjoy going to Grace Church over any churches that I have been to in the past. It feels like home. And now I get to introduce my husband and daughter to Grace. So far they love it. This church makes you feel like you are family and the presence of G-​d is so strong at Grace. Not once have I ever felt overwhelmed or bored. I feel bad for one of the reviewers who said he was treated bad for being Jewish. My family was Jewish before we came to Grace. We felt welcomed and instantly at home. Because of Grace our relationship with G-​d has grown stronger over the years. Glad to be back.

I have been going to Grace Church of Glendora for about 8 yrs. I love our Church home we have brought many friends and they always feel welcome and 90 percent of them have now made Grace there church home also. Pastor John Dix makes every sermon feel like a Bible study where I come away with more wisdom and knowledge than I had before. He is funny, sincere and down to earth. There are so many loving and caring people at Grace and there children’s programs are phenomenal. If anyone would like to attend with us just message me and I personally would love to meet you there on any given Sunday!

My family has been regulars at this church for quite a while and I have to say that I am seriously impressed with all of the positive changes within the last year or so. I absolutely love Pastor John Dix. Not only does he bring the word of God to life, but his energy and passion resonate with all of those who attend service. Not only has be brought the focus of God’s word back to the community through programs such as Mercy Gate, he has helped diversify the congregation by bringing together people from all walk of life, ethnicity, age, and socioeconomic background. I grew up in Glendora and, let’s face it, I have always been an minority. When I learned that we know have young, muti-​ethnic pastors in the church, I was just tickled pink. Not to mention, when Pastor John told the congregation that he was Black inside, and white on the outside (he was raised in the Congo), he won serious respect from me (when are you going to find that kind of honesty).
I don’t want to go in to details, but after changing pastors, I really believe that Grace is headed in the direction it needs to because it had been taken down a road that was not healthy for the congregation and community. In all truth, I stopped going because I didn’t agree with the agenda of the previous pastor and started attending an phenomenal church called Flipside Church of Rancho Cucamons. I now live in Pasadena so the commute is a bit rough for me but I am now seeking to make Grace Church my new home. I am happy to say that I welcome the change and I am excited about 2013 and the fact that the Church will be going through the entire bible during the year.

I’m Jewish and I believe that whether you go to any church, mosque, or synagogue you can always feel the love and goodness that G-​d has to offer. However when i stopped by this church to pray and someone realized that i was Jewish, 4 women would not stop harrassing me over my faith or who I was! They kept saying «How dare you not except Jesus!» or «You’re going to hell!» and also «G-​d hates you for who you are!» I’ve experienced anti-​semitism and hatred before, but this is definitley one of the most disgusting of them.

Great family oriented church. Lots of services to take advantage of different hours. Great music worship and a traditional service if that’s more your thing.
