What visitors say

This church has a food bank to distribute to people every week. It is very nice of them, but they have a priority to certain people. Therefore, they give first choices by first distributing food to only Mexican people on the Saturday. Whatever is left, they will distribute on the next day (Sunday) to every one who wants. If you are not Mexican, and shown up on the Saturday, they will yelled out loud "NO FOOD", and ask you to leave even though you can see Mexican people taking/carrying food to their cars in the parking lot. I don't believe that the church has a GOOD practice of big discrimination in front of JESUS. I went online, I see the logan, "GRACE CHURCH exists to bring JESUS to ESCONDIDO". To me, it should be changed to ".....to bring JESUS to MEXICAN" based on what they are unfairly doing. If I could I would rate no STAR because there should be no discrimination in any churches. They are bad examples for people, and young kids who initially steps to the faith of believing in JESUS. The church has a food bank program to share with every one. Most of voluntary people working in the food bank are very nice. Unfortunately, there are same families which have 2 volunteers ( either husband and wife / mother and daughter) so they take twice free foods they wanted to full loading in 2 cars for themselves, no sharing to community. Below was my experience when I was there on a day in April 2026 to participate it. I came in at 9:20 AM. I left my rolling cart in line and went back in my car to sleep because the food bank would not open until 12PM. There was no one behind me at the time I left my cart there. I was the 4th one in line. I came out my car around 11:25AM to get ready once the food bank opened. I saw a tall lady standing behind my rolling cart. Around past noon, when the food bank opened, there was a voluntary lady whose name "Eve" (pronounced as EEVEE) came out. The tall lady who stood next and behind my cart told EVE that I was not here earlier, but only my cart. Eve immediately told me to step out of the line without asking me to verify what lady just said. It was unfair that EVE treated me as I was invisible, and did not respect me who is 66 and older than her a lot. Therefore, EVE let the lady cut in, and came in first. I spoke up. I insisted telling Eve that I left my cart in line at 9:20 AM, and went back to sleep in my car. Eve smartly (in opposite way) told me that, " I was not here because she came here at 9:00AM." I said, "You were here at 9:00 AM but you had been inside the whole time so you did not see anything to believe whatever that tall lady said, and you did not let me have my voice. Again, I got here around 9:20AM how could you see me here at 9:00AM?" That was all, I did not say anything bad at all, but EVE told me AT ONCE that if I continued talking she would prohibit me to come inside the food bank today and FOREVER." She repeated again loudly that she wouldn't let me to come to the church forever if I did not stop talking to her. She made me so EMBARRASS with other people who were waiting in line at that time. She treated me as I was a committed crime person in the church that she caught. I wondered that what did I do wrong, but telling her the correct story. Furthermore, THE GRACE CHURCH IS THE JESUS' HOUSE for any one who believes in JESUS to come praying/socializing. It is NOT her own place/house, and she is not one of pastors either to disallow me coming to the church. On whose behalf, Eve had a right to tell me that she could disallow me to come to the church when I have believed in JESUS, and not done anything wrong. EVE even mentioned me that she is the church member. EVE made me waiting forever until 12:45 to let me come inside the food bank. From the 4th one in line, I was the 34th one to come inside. That was how discriminate EVE did to show her power as a church member there to me. Thanks for reading my post. First time there I went to see my daughter sing with the pastor's group. It was beautiful and felt the holy Spirit. The next time I went was for my grandbaby and grandson's dedication and it was beautiful. Really nice people and they have events for kids. This church calls the police on the homeless. Some churches are not driven by the principal of the very book they are supposed to be following. I would not recommend this for worship. This church is a well balanced church. The pastors have a heart after God and truly love the people. They are authentic, and practice what they preach. Lots of prayer warriors in this church pulling for revival. Family oriented. Emotionally and spiritually healthy church. We’ve been prospering in every area of our life since we started attending. Great find!
