THE PEOPLE’S PETITION TO RECLAIM GRACE CHAPEL
This Petition is put forth by the undersigned individuals in good faith and firm conviction:
WHEREAS, we have invested our time, treasure, and very souls into Grace Chapel since it was founded twenty-seven years ago; and,
WHEREAS, we desire for Grace Chapel to return to the active, effective, and purpose-driven, Christ-centered church it has been since its inception; and,
WHEREAS, Grace Chapel was founded on Biblical principles by our Founding Pastor, Steve Berger; and,
WHEREAS, we, the people of Grace Chapel did support, invest, and belong to a courageous church, unwilling to be meaningless, but rather willing to be bold for truth in a culture that wants God, Jesus, and indeed Christianity itself removed, and its churches to be spineless and weak; and,
WHEREAS, for 27 years, we, the people of Grace Chapel, have been led courageously by Pastor Steve Berger, whose reputation and legacy are valuable to us, and deserving of our respect; and,
WHEREAS, the body of Grace Chapel trusted our leadership and a new lead pastor to Biblically and respectfully guide us through this transition and into the future; and,
WHEREAS, the body of Grace Chapel has patiently waited for our leadership and pastors to do what is right; and,
WHEREAS, our leadership and pastors have failed us.
THEREFORE, WE DO HEREBY DEMAND:
1. The current Lead Pastor immediately resign or be terminated; and,
2. Steve Berger be reinstated as Founding Pastor of Grace Chapel and designated as a member of the Board of Elders; and,
3. A Pastor Search Committee be formed to locate a new Lead Pastor who will act responsibly and respectfully towards our founding principles, pastor, and his family; and,
4. The immediate resignation of any board or staff member that cannot support these resolutions.
The undersigned petitioners demand these actions immediately. We believe Grace Chapel can and should return to its Biblical, Christ-centered teachings, and that our current leadership has engaged in actions that are not God-ordained. We believe that Grace Chapel belongs to the people of God’s church, and we refuse to stand by silently while our church continues to flounder and the body of the church suffers. The undersigned vow to withhold financial support, volunteer support, and other enablement unless and until our demands are met.

The church is not the same. I still do not understand what happened, but I do know the congregation was left in the dark. I miss the days under Pastor Steve’s leadership.

Church regular
Because it is the right thing to do!
I support this petition! Clearly this church needs new leadership! Imprecatory prayers? What kind of pastor would preach such a horrible thing? The two or three witness sermon - yikes! Also mandatory reporting was not taken seriously in the church according to a recent article. It is not a pastors job to believe accusations or not, they are required to report it!
Steve is an excellent Shepherd.
I’d like to bring my kids back to Grace Chapel Liepers Fork and can not do so until the leadership comes clean with truth and reconciles with the founding leadership, departed staff, and many families that will not silently stand by and watch the church implode. We are a new family, started attending Oct 2020 and we are here because of the legacy of what this church has always been and the power of the Spirit that was evident. Please do not confuse new people with thinking we have the desire to leave behind the roots that made this church what it is. Restore what is right.
This church belongs to the people of the community not a handful of bad management. I do not stand with lying and concealing of truth. I have not jumped to sign this petition but a pastor that goes to the media during a time of healing is lacking maturity, wisdom, and discernment and a pastor that alters the wording of a critical email communication is deceptive and foolish to think he wouldn’t be found out. Reconciliation is needed and new leadership is demanded.
I support Steve taking back his church! It’s his church, he should be able to dictate how it’s run. With men like Lea Beaman, Aaron Solomon, and Sam Johnson by his side, he will return to show the people the righteousness of the Almighty!
We should all be praying for Pastor Berger. He is being judged too harshly for turning to politics. Our country needs godly men like Pastor Berger to show us our sin. God bless Lee Beaman for supporting Pastor Berger in Washington. Pastor Berger and Lee Beaman speak truth and people should listen to these righteous men who uphold biblical truths and love their brides - the bride of Christ, the church.
This church is a church that stand with God’s truth not what the world tells you. I support Steve Berger & stand with the truth that he teach.
This church was a light to the Body of Christ. Now it has been highjacked by deceitful messengers and messages not of the Kingdom of God, but the kingdom and gods of this world and the pridefulness of worldly-centered men and women of faithlessness. The faithful members and its founding pastor must take back what God has started there.
GC is my home church!
B
The leadership did not handle this properly or honestly. Praying for healing.
The truth shall set you free! Seek gods ways with are always truth. He is the way the truth and the life!
Something is rotten in current leadership. I agree with petition.
This House of Gods is broken. It time for God’s leadership to come back into HIS house and ran HIS way. All leadership should lead based on Gods Word alone. This house needs the Founding Pastor Steve Berger back in the house he was called to build under the guidance of God.
Do not feel Rob has the right leadership vision for GC
Bring back our founding pastor Steve Berger
Steve speaks Gods Word!
This is wrong
Steve Berger & faithful members of Grace Chapel got me thru my darkest days of life wile going thru a divorce and moving from Nashville to Franklin in 2007. After moving to Rogers, AR in 2014, I continued to pay my tithes to GC and watch Sunday services online and visited GC in person every time I was back in Middle TN. Steve taught me how to discipline my life with daily devotions, taught me boldness and nurtured my personal relationship with Jesus in ways no other church pastor has ever done in my entire life (I grew up in a Baptist church in TX). Watching what happened to this founding pastor and his family online was gut-wrenching and our prayers have not stopped for GC family members who have had to make sense of something so horrible. Sadly we have seen Grace Chapel turn away from its roots and divine identity. We pray for healing and restoration, boldness and courage to stand up to the deception attempting to destroy all that has been built by the blood, sweat and tears of members who have come before.
I support, honor and respect Pastor Steve and Sarah Burger. I appreciate their years and years of dedication.
Thank you for taking this action. The cancelling of the Founding Pastor is only part of the current social degrade. Pray for a reunion.
Paster Steve Berger and his wife Sarah were instrumental in strengthening my walk with GOD while I was a struggling single mother with 2 children… 1 was extremely ill. Tremendous prayer warriors.
Because truth matters. The hijacking of Grace Chapel Franklin by current leadership is wicked. My heart grieves and I pray for truth to be revealed and Pastor Steve Berger to be returned to his rightful place as founder, elder, and the proven leader he is.
I have never known someone like Steve Berger ever in my life that preaches the truth of the gospel in a very honest, loving and bold way and it has changed my life forever. When Steve preaches he unpacks God’s Word in a very impactful way. Steve Berger is a true blessed man of God. Sarah Berger is a blessed woman who stands by her godly man Steve Berger. What has happened to Grace Chapel Franklin and everyone involved is disgraceful. Grace Chapel Franklin belongs to God and things need to be done right. The attacks against Steve Berger and family need to stop in Jesus name.
I support Steve and Sarah Berger and have known them to always put the spiritual life of the church members as a top priority. Steve has boldly taught the truth of the Bible with love, and does all for the glory of God, not himself. Every church needs their pastors to be so bold. He should remain in a position to Shepard the members of Grace Chapel.
Grace Chapel is an important place for the people of this community and we should not stand by and witness it's demise. Christians must start to stand up and stand strong against all things unbiblical.
Healing
Steve Berger has an arsenal of guns and he is not afraid to use them! He’s got attack dogs too. And political ambitions! What more could you ask for in a pastor?
Agree
Steve and Sarah ARE Grace. His actions on Jan 6 (I was in DC as well that day as SAW the left’s evil. It was palpable) made me believe even more strongly…beyond the shadow of a doubt…that the truth lives there. Steve is BOLD and the spirit of antichrist depends on weak willed pastors who are more afraid of being unpopular w the congregants than being afraid of the admonishing of the Lord! We may not agree on everything, but his leadership has been consistent and dependable. The community needs his voice now more than ever. The army of the LORD must be ready for battle. The war has already begun….and we need men and women on the front lines. I am a watchman…on the wall…a soldier of faith and the fear of the Fsther….and I, as well as all in the community…need a leader to help call out truth fearlessly.
I agree!
I agree!
I am in agreement.
Our family is eternally grateful for Pastor Steve Berger’s uncompromising teaching the truth of Gods word ! We started attending Grace Chapel over 16-17 years ago and his consistent and bold teaching of truth has sustained our family and helped us navigate and successfully battle the enemy of our soul as well as instruct us to live according to Gods word . Thank you pastor Steve , Sarah and your precious family ! May God continue to bless you mightily for making Jesus famous !
I actually couldn’t be more opposed to this petition. 280+ people have chosen the way of divisiveness and the city of Spring Hill looks on in disgust. I feel like the creators of this petition listened to “who killed Mars Hill” and decided to do the complete opposite of what it would teach any logical person who listened. You’ve abandoned the humble and submissive ways of Jesus and drawn your sword, cutting off ear after ear. For the sake of the kingdom, let this go and allow the Holy Spirit to convict. He is fully capable of exposing what is false. When Gideon tore down the beloved Asherah pole, the town was livid. And what was the refrain? Let Baal take care of himself. I’d advise the same thing here- if this is false, let it be exposed.
Steven Berger is the only pastor that has had my full attention in church the for the whole sermon for as long as I can remember. and for what I have learned from his sermons, I believe that he should remain as the founder, as his teachings are true to the Bible and to mankind.
My husband and I have ministered at Grace Chapel a few times over the years as guest worship leaders. Pastor Steve Berger’s leadership has impacted our lives. We were always so moved by our experience at Grace Chapel. To see this church in such a weakened state under the new leadership in place is heartbreaking.
I agree
My family and the Berger family have been dear friends for over 16 years. From the matriarch, Mary, to her three amazing sons all the way down to her beautiful great-grandchildren. I once called Steve and told him that I had a friend wishing to be baptized and he dropped what he was doing and came straight to my house. He counseled and prayed with my friend and they were baptized that day in my backyard pool thanks to Steve's immediate response. Maybe I shouldn't weigh in on this because our family has been attending GC Fairview since September and love it and Pastor Ian Gilchrist dearly. But I will say; Confusion has reigned supreme in GC Leipers Fork as of late. Odd messaging followed by promises of answers that prove to be ambiguous or unclear. Previously common information scrubbed from the website (Elders, Financial Board Members, etc.). Even GC L.F.'s own statement about their confusion over who was in what position and when. The spirit of Confusion is firmly planted there. We have none of that confusion in Fairview. It is a happy, harmonious, growing and ANNOINTED place! The author of confusion is not welcome there. 1 Corinthians 14:33 Pastor Ian just reminded us of when Nehemiah had built the wall and, in theory, should have been enjoying his life (Nehemiah 13:7 and forward); he had to go back in and mop up a mess that had been allowed to happen in the absence of his watchful eye. It was a painful and difficult time but it had to be done. Is that the situation here and now? I don't know. But it is certainly something to think about, consider, pray over. What I do know is that the current situation in Leipers Fork is unsustainable and I feel bad for those who don't know what to think or what to do.
I stand with Sarah & Steve & I love them both very much and have been blessed beyond measure by his preaching and by Sarah’s leadership in the women’s ministry. Pam
We love Grace chapel and Steve Berger. Our family has been going for 4 years. Our daughters are leaders and small group leaders for 1NE. We stopped going after the Sunday Rob decided to air the dirt. We lost respect for Rob., and never really liked his preaching since Jan. Grace just needs a new Pastor who is a leader.
I left Grace Chapel after the denouncing of Steve Berger. I will only return if he is brought back.
Remembering founding principles that they forgot and are taking advantage of everything Steve built in his partnership with God
Grace chapel is my home church and I miss it! GA doesn’t exist without the Berger family.
I agree
Even though I live in Alabama, I still have considered GC my home via online. I’m very grateful for how Pastor Steve and Sarah have loved and served the body of Christ for so many years. It has been a very painful experience to witness what has happened and I’m praying that God will restore GC to its foundations to equip passionate servants of Christ and share His love with BOLDNESS to a broken world!
The Church needs to heal, deserves to have transparency and know the truth.
We absolutely support the Bergers. Their tireless faithful service to the kingdom of God & commitment to gospel truth have positively impacted our entire family! In these last days we must stand firm truth, not tolerate destructive things. Jesus is coming back for a spotless bride. Not weakened believers willing to have their ears tickled with a watered down form of “Christianity”. As Pastor Ian said at GC Fairview today “Be the kind of people who are more concerned with eternity than popularity.”
I stand behind the Bergers.
I agree.
I agree!
I miss my church.
To right an injustice (well, as much as possible), and to make sure the legacy of Steve and Sarah Berger at Grace Chapel is not removed nor wiped out. God Bless All!
GOD'S WORD IS TRUE
Grace Chapel, with pastor Steve Berger, helped me with my walk with Jesus in so many ways I can’t even begin to put into words. Even watching online from afar, you can see the change that has and is taking place is not a positive change.
Bring truth and trust back to the pulpit.
I agree
The Elders failed the church. The current pastor who is the leader continues to propagate the errors made and not take appropriate action to remedy the failures.
We stand in full support of this petition and join our many brothers and sisters with broken hearts in support of Steve and Sarah Berger.
I firmly believe Steve and Sarah Berger have been treated dishonorably by the current elders and leadership of what remains of Grace Chapel. I agree that Steve should return as founding pastor and all the leadership team and elders should be replaced.
I agree with this petition wholeheartedly. I miss my church home.
To see this body of Christ heal
Steve & Sarah
I miss my church home
I unashamedly support this petition as it represents HONOR being given to the Vineyard planters of Grace Chapel, Pastor Steve and Sarah Berger. Over the past several years, I have watched how Pastor Steve and Sarah have endured and handled the personal slander and lies against them from both long time “friends” and lying media outlets. When asked for a response, theirs has been “NO COMMENT” - they know that The Lord fights their battles - this is the actions of true Holy Spirit filled leaders. Years ago, I heard Pastor Steve say “Out of radical obedience, comes the ridiculous, miraculous favor of God” - I am seeing Gods ridiculous, miraculous favor being poured out on Pastor Steve and Sarah and their precious family because of their obedience to stay true to Gods Word and making HIS name famous, no matter the costs - these are the leaders that Bill and I want to go into battle with! Its time to be BOLD in our faith, Church, and be a shield for our friends, Pastor Steve and Sarah, for the sake of truth and righteousness so that this lost world will see the true gospel of JESUS, not a watered down, ear tickling, box checking, community driven church that has no substance. Count us in!!!! Glory to GOD ALONE - May HIS NAME BE PRAISED….
We were all hopeful that Rob would be able to lead our church successfully .It is sad, and continually obvious that he is not capable at this point to do that. His exhibitions and poor judgment do not warrant him The continued role of senior pastor of Grace Chapel. I believe we would be best served to find a pastor with the maturity , experience, and wisdom to lead us into what God has for Grace Chapel.
God used Pastor Steve to shepherd the sheep and grow this church. He was and is anointed by God to establish Grace Chapel. He has the right to continue to be a part of this church and tend to his sheep.
I am my Brothers Keeper. We have known Steve and Sarah and followed them for over 30 years. He is a friend and mentor. Steve has always preached the uncompromising word of God; seeking to serve God and bring this lost world to Jesus. We need more pastors like Steve. The only way GC will be restored as a church that stands on true biblical principles, is through the leading of Steve Berger. Bring reconciliation GC church body and community. Shame on Rob Rogers, Mark Bright and all involved and also the so called friends that came from California in the back stabbing and lies, betrayed by people he trusted. It's just plain shameful and sad!! But God is still able if the GC body stands up and does the right thing! Accept nothing more than the Truth!!
I am in agreement with this petition.
Church should be the most transparent place on earth… which means when mistakes are made, and they will be made because humans aren’t perfect, then things should not be hidden, taken down, deleted and explained away by “statements”. Church should be open, honest and not afraid to talk through ALL sides and ALL issues.

This is the only church I’ve ever known. I grew up there and now it is unrecognizable. The spirit is not there because it has been pushed out by the current leaderships lack of humility and lack of transparency and truth. I pray for reconciliation and truth And for what has become broken and dead to become mended and given new life.
I feel that what has happened to Grace Chapel is ungodly. The leadership of the current church is not serving our community well. They can’t stand in the front of the church and not share truth! It is so sad that dishonestly took the reigns and now is sharing untruthful words about the founding pastor. We need strong leadership to lead this flock through times of uncertainty and ungodly times in our nation and state. Please support truth!
I've known Steve and Sarah for over 30 years. I've always followed his ministry. He's always been a man of grace and integrity, who does not waver from the Word of God!
It just has not been the same since Steve left. I think something went awry and we would like to see the church being reinstated under Steve Burger. There is an attack on the church and the enemy is not people. I hope that this turns out for God’s glory.
I agree
I attended Grace chapel for many years, my family and I flourished spiritually with Pastor Steves Faithful and Loving teaching, we were truly Blessed. The hostile environment with the current pastor is detrimental to this congregation, and I it needs to change immediately, as this is far from what Grace Chapel has stood for since its beginning days. It’ is absolutely shameful and we all know it.. Pastor Steve needs to intervene, and restore the Heart of this wonderful church that he, Sarah and so many Godly people started so many years ago. It’s time, this needs to change now, I hope and pray people have the integrity and honesty to stand up for truth and sign and support this petition before it’s too late. The Pedley Family
I don't want watered down, lightweight messages. I want bold, truth telling messages from Pastor Steve.
Steve is the most Honorable Man I know
I miss my home church and Steve Berger.
Praying for Grace & for Pastor Steve, whom we respect greatly.
I agree!!!
I agree!!!!
I support the Berger family and believe in their leadership that we always had at Grace Chapel!
I support the Berger family.
May God’s perfect will be done, division is from the enemy. A house divided cannot stand.
Our family began at Grace in 1998 but through job changes, have been gone many years. We were a part of the humble beginnings and saw the true heart of Steve and Sarah and that never changed. Grace is not the same anymore and the only thing that changed was the leadership. I pray for the true heart and soul of Grace to return and that can only be done with Pastor Steve Berger.
I want to see Grace Chapel return to the way it used to be. The leadership and pastors have failed the GC family terribly. Bring Steve back and let’s go back to the church we once were!
I agree with the petition. May God‘s will be done in all of this.
I believe Steve is a true Christian man who stands on true biblical principles. He needs his job because he is good for the body of Christ. I stand with Steve
I stand with Steve til the end!
Support everything this petition sets out to do.
I have considered GC Leiper's Fork TN my home church since 2002. I feel the church has been infiltrated and taken over. I strongly believe that the church which was started and built up by Steve Berger is rightfully his and his congregation's.
I have lost trust In the new leadership and feel the situation has not been handled as God tells us to do. Lacking trust in the church impedes my ability to fully worship God at GC.
We the people of God are in the thickest fog of spiritual warfare I have seen in all my years. We the people must fight the good fight for the TRUTH to shine bright and the lies and deceitfulness of the enemy to be overcome by God’s power of restoring what has been so deeply broken. My heart aches for what these worldly people have done to such a God loving man like Steve Berger. A truth seeker, non watered down pastor seeking to serve God and bring this broken world to Jesus. Shame on the elders, the current pastor and all involved in the lies and stabbing in the back of the most kind man Grace and all who have followed him know.
Pastor Steve was mutinized
I visit GC every summer when I visit my daughter and watch online. When I visited this summer I could tell the Spirit of the Lord was not present. I fully agree with this petition. God’s blessing has been removed from Grace Chapel and will continue to be so until things are made right as put forth by this petition.
I’m in agreement with this petition! It’s so sad how things happened! But I stand behind Pastor Steve. I have grown so much from his truthful and bold teaching of Gods word as I’m sure so many others have too!
Too many unanswered questions that leadership will not address publicly. Reinstatement of Steve Berger is necessary for reconciliation in this body.
I want to see truth prevail
Personal/spiritual feelings. Deep appreciation for Steve and Sarah Berger and their bold And Biblical messages. Saw it coming but didn’t know the water was really muddy and what I saw and felt was real until it all came out. Disbelief that anything to this magnitude could happen!
I have been going to Grace Chapel and Leipers Fork since 2004. I I have started going to Grace Chapel in Fairview since the Sunday that there was so much confusion and no answers to what was going on and not really trusting the leader ship and how things were handled.
Like many of you, I have struggled with signing this petition as it has the likelihood of igniting additional controversy. Why do we fear that? What has occurred within us that we fear engaging in meaningful debate? While freedom allows us to achieve material comfort, it is only true freedom if it is accompanied by moral, considerate, sacrificial living-standing boldly for truth in those critical issues that have enormous consequences. The downside of freedom is when we take for granted the fruit of that bold freedom and laze into a self-satisfied, entertainment saturated state of being where the only considerations become comfort and lack of controversy. Truth suffers and for the sake of that temporary comfort, the fear of truth takes root, and our eternal enemy takes ground. The downside of freedom is selfish, ungrateful, and sinful, and it contributes to the very personal, societal, and organizational ills that we all bemoan- We get the kind of leadership we deserve. I only know this because I’ve been guilty of it. I’m done with that now. Salvations and sanctifications are at stake. Over the last few weeks as my family and I have navigated the pain and bewilderment of the deterioration of our church home of 20 years and the accompanying complications within long held relationships with brothers and sisters in Christ, and the fellowship we held so dear, I have had to dig very deep to discern the causes of the implosion that has occurred and lay responsibility where it rightfully lies. The stories of both mature believers with near empty faith tanks and new believers who have abandoned Christ seeking, along with the resignations of vital tenured staff and longtime members demand it. The divisive behind the scenes departure from the spirit and letter of the transition agreement, lack of rightful honoring of Founding Pastor Steve Berger’s legacy of sacrificial service and accomplishment (in deeds, not words), transparent and embarrassing private and public displays of false narrative management and half humble “apologies” that we would never allow our children to offer (much less the shepherd of a Kingdom flock), welcoming in the worldly enemies in the secular press (who delight in this division and use it to mock everything we’ve sacrificed and labored to build) are just some of the failures at the root of this tragedy, and are no foundation for the return of the kind of Kingdom victories that have always made Grace Chapel a place that our families and staff have been thrilled to welcome visitors in to. So very sadly, it is not that now. Oh God, please!
believe in Steve Berger and Grace Chapel. Have been blessed by his teachings and have friends there. Hate to hear of harsh division in the Body of Christ.
Steve has led this church and can assist in finding a lead pastor that will be best for the congregation.
Bev and I started attending in 97, as services were held at the school. We immediately saw how well the Word was being taught by Steve and that was the foundation, the Word! No soft pedaling, just solid food, how the Bible says to teach it. You were excited to be involved and serve because you knew God was doing a great work. To say we were disheartened when Steve was betrayed by the staff people he trusted is an understatement. Going to the local, predatory media to validate their betrayal is telling. These are not the right people to do what Jesus said "feed his sheep". I totally support what this petition is about, every part of it. I pray God will shine his face on Steve and his family.
I have been a long time supporter of Sarah and Steve from California. I no longer participate on Sunday mornings online. Praying for reinstatement to the original founding pastor
Bring back the burned podium, the reminder that one can be stricken by fire. We need Servant Leadership in action. We need humility, authenticity, vulnerability, and truth to be modeled from top down. We need unwavering faith and reverence. Going to the Tennessean instead of talking to the family is not leadership and needs accountability. This act is the last straw and proves a lack of discernment and more interested in controlling his own narrative. August 29th and the way everything has been communicated shows areas of opportunities and lack of systems, processes, accountability, expectations, and authority. Too busy making the building look pretty instead of working on people development. Truly God is here to work on the mess and clean his house. Goodness will prevail and all parties need to learn, repent, and grow from this., model the Gospel. The congregants must also remember not to idolize pastors and be complacent. God uses all things for His glory!
How I could I not support this, I want my church back. This whole thing is heartbreaking.
This church schism leaves one Person suffering the most: God the Father. The Bible warns against speaking against a man of God, and such is Pastor Steve Berger. Whatever differences may have come about, please remember that through Pastor Steve, Grace Chapel was founded, reaching indescribable heights by God's anointing upon him, emboldened by the power of the Holy Spirit, and by his love and care shepherding the flock entrusted to his leadership by God. Personally, Pastor Steve Berger and Sarah (through their leadership- teaching), made a huge impact on my life, as the Lord used them to draw me closer to Himself, entering into a new dimension of God's Kingdom during a season of significant loss. That impact brought about a deeper faith in my walk with Jesus, and have remained till this day, even through more losses. To God be all honor, glory and praise for His great work in the Body of Christ at Grace Chapel, and with thanksgiving for their shepherd, Pastor Steve Berger.
I love Pastor Steve Berger and am thankful for all his hard work to raise up this church. It is just wrong for him to leave the church to the group who is in charge now. They have demonstrated they are corrupt and cannot handle this responsibility.
His kingdom come, His will be done!
His kingdom come, His will be done!
I do agree with this petition. I am praying it will be honored and that the unwise decisions and mismanagement will stop so God can do the restoration that only He can!
Sad too see steve and other leaders stabbed in the back , and basically the cancel culture that exists in the world is happening in this church . This body has being disrespected immensely through this whole situation , and the current leadership are definitely coming across as wolfs in sheep’s clothing more & more as time goes on . Matthew 7..15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Romans 16:17-20 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
We stand behind Pastor Steve and his truthful bold teachings.
I’m in agreement with the statement above.
Want the direction of the church restored.
My heart weeps as I await the return of the Holy Spirit??
Need to bring back the gospel centered teaching. Not a seeker friendly church.
After living all over the country, I have three true pastors who follow God’s Word- Adrian Rogers , Ken Whitten, and Steve Berger.
I attended and volunteered at Grace Chapel under Pastor Steves leadership for many many years and I have been heartbroken to hear of his mistreatment, lack of honor and respect. I hope that the light is shone into the darkness and that Grace Chapel may return to the foundations Pastor Steve and the whole Berger family have set in place and may God receive all the glory.
Standing for truth is not negotiable. As believers we are called to stand firm for truth and that’s what I want to do.
I agree with this petition!
I miss my church and deeply saddened by the bad decision the board made
I want what God wants for Grace Chapel.
Steve Berger need to be reinstated A.S.A..P. !!! The transition was not handled in a wise nor honest fashion. The Biblical definition of elders, deacons, preachers, teachers of The precious word of God & how to Shepard the flock of believers should be adhered to. Praying for all those involved.
I believe the body of Christ has the right to speak up for our beliefs
Stepping up against evil!
Because truth needs to prevail!
I don't agree with how the current leadership is operating. Something needs to change.
Agree with petition.
Restore GC to the church it was!
Fully support restoring this church to Biblical principles.
The pastors and elders have not handled the transition in an honest, God honoring manner
The pastors and elders have not handled the transition in an honest, God honoring manner
I have visited Grace Chapel several times while staying with friends who live in Franklin. Each time i was so encouraged by Steve Berger’s TV boldness to speak the Truth in love. It was so obvious that his only mission was to teach his flock how to run all decisions through the grid of the scriptures. Thus i was devastated to hear of the implosion. I was very disappointed that the leadership allowed the newspaper to become involved. Why?, would be my question. And even more disappointing is that your lead pastor, Rob, labeled Steve Berger an “extremist” in the article. Such poor form. You can bet the non Christians in your area had a heyday with that. “ The bottom line is more damage to the cause of Christ. I am so saddened by it all.
I love the Berger family and the foundation God built through them was a strong foundation
I agree with the petition to restore Grace Chapel Franklin back to a firm biblical church with Jesus Christ as its foundation, who preaches the Truth unapologetically. The dishonor towards Pastor Steve Berger and the grace chapel family by the current lead pastor Rob Rogers and the leadership since the transition; and his straying from biblical truth has led grace chapel Franklin astray from the solid, unapologetic, Christ centered church it was under the leadership of the Founding Pastor, Steve Berger; to a now “world pleasing”, God dishonoring, watered down church.
Steven Burger was very influential on our family and we respect him immensely. His leadership and Godly guidance has been what has sustained us in times of turmoil and heartbreak. He has been someone to turn to for Godly perspective and wisfom. He was the founder of Grace Chapel. Without him and the grace of God, His [God’s] guidance to the founding members, there wouldn’t be a Grace Chapel. I am in shock and heartbroken by what has taken place thus far. The enemy has been at work. Those that have allowed this upheaval and abhorrent example to the world should be removed and Pastor Steve reinstated. I pray that God would soften the hearts of those that need to be softened.
No faith in current leadership.
I agree with this petition and pray Gods speed!
Time and time again the current Franklin leadership has failed as leaders. When the going got tough that Sunday, Rob ran away. Why so scared to stay and talk with the congregation? Show the congregation the culpability details from the 3rd party. Questions about what happened are met with scolding on facebook yet Rob has no problem going to the Tennessean. Shocking
Too personal to post, but I have been a part of Grace Chapel for 17 + years starting with Bible study with Sarah in Leiper's Fork and church on Sunday with Pastor Steve.
Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me. And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will rule over all my labor in which I toiled and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity. Therefore I turned my heart and despaired of all the labor in which I had toiled under the sun. For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. Ecclesiastes 2:18-21
Because Grace Chapel thrived for 27 years before the new pastor showed up.
I agree
In 100% agreement
We stand by Paster Steve and the vision God gave him for this church, and it's outreach.
I believe in this cause!
Fully support the family!
I believe pastor Berger preached the real unapologetic Word and he should continue to do so.
For the future success of the church.
What happened between Rob and Steve is between themselves. However, how the current GC leadership has acted over the last 12 weeks should be noted and considered by all who have ever called Grace Chapel home. There are no agendas/narratives in the Kingdom… just the truth and that beloved will set everyone free.
I agree with this Petition.
Giving honor to whom honor is due! Steven and Sarah are anointed and were called by God to start Grace Chapel and that church has thrived and grown under his lead as pastor. The fruit of his ministry and labor and love for God. over the years speaks for itself. The way Steven was treated is unconscionable !
Steve and Sarah built GC. Without their leadership the devil seems to running loose. Steve teaches us with Gods Word not his own. We need him to continue having a voice and leadership in this Church.
Corrupt leadership.
I agree with all the above listed reasons for DEMANDING the church be reverted back to its original state of existence IMMEDIATELY! God Bless and Godspeed!!!
Have known Pastor Steve Berger since 2005. We have invested our time, efforts and resources in his Godly Leadership. We are saddened deeply by the way His family has been treated.. We pray that this Petition will correct the Wrong that is taking over.
I have family that attends and I have participated online and have loved what God has done in the past when Steve was leading. I hate to see the upheaval that is taking place now. Hopeful there can be a return to their roots and resume what God has called them to do.
Don’t trust current leadership
Steve has made a huge impact on my life and my families life by teaching Gods truth. Although I live in California, I listened to Steve remotely via streaming. Thank you Steve for teaching truth and teaching Gods way on difficult topics that most pastors won’t teach on!
I believe church leadership needs to honor Gods word in all matters including honoring one another and being accountable to truth. L
Steve Berger and his family have been faithful leaders, and I whole heartedly believe in their integrity.
I agree
I AGREE
I AGREE
I have fought hard for truth and transparency behind the scenes and the veterans of Grace Chapel simply have not had a real voice in any public forum. If this is what it takes then I ask God for His will be done!
I do not want Grace Chapel to conform to the rest of the weak part time Christianity world and churches that only preach the good. Not the hard and truth, which needs to be preached.
To go back to the sound Biblical decisions and preaching that Grace Chapel Franklin once had.
I was brought to Grace Chspel by the Holy Spirit to belong to a GOD FILLED, Church. My wife and I attended faithfully , longing to be where we could hear God's Word and fellowship with like brothers and sisters in Christ. It saddens me to watch people on a mission to claim what Steve has helped grow try and claim for their own. I cannot support people to lead me that have self motivated themselves to claim what is not theirs.
I support this petition. On “Speak out Sunday” there were only a handful of people left standing on that stage to face the congregation. They are the true leadership of GCLF. They did not abandon us in our hour of need – they did not run away and threaten to quit during the crisis our church faced. Anyone who left the building or stayed on that stage to shout down the founding pastor must be replaced with people of strength to handle the hard stuff. On all social media platforms Steve has continued to be a source of spiritual guidance and encouragement since THAT day of truth. Where have the current pastor and leadership been? MIA – except behind closed doors spinning a crafted message to a hurting congregation. I support Steve’s ASI ministry and continued involvement with GCLF to lead us back to the church we once were especially as our world become increasingly more difficult. The idea to restructure GCLF into a cowardly seeker friendly church is unacceptable.
CHANGE
I've been attending Grace Chapel since about 2010 and have been truly blessed and challenged by the words God's been laying on Pastor Steve's and Sarah's hearts as they have taught us over the years. The Lord provided us with an amazing Spirit-filled vessels to teach the Truth of His Word. I'm completely saddened and disappointed in the direction GC has gone. Just the simple act of replacing the iconic burnt podium, that reminded us to be On Fire For the Lord, showed me that the new leadership was dismissing the foundation and legacy Pastor Steve and his family built - under the Guidance of Jesus, After THAT Sunday, I stopped my regularly scheduled tithing and have no desire to return to GC at this time, unless changes are made to bring back the Spirit-filled, unwavering teachings of our Lord and Savior.
I have listened to Pastor Steve Berger even before he founded Grace Chapel. I came to the Lord 29 years ago under his teachings when he was senior Pastor in California. For a church that was founded by the conviction of the Holy Spirit to be swayed and go against Gods conviction is very heartbreaking.. Pastor Steve Berger teaches with boldness the truth of the Word of God and to not be reinstated to “Founding Pastor” can possibly lead this church away from the truth.
Trusted Steve Burgers leadership and dedication. Not sure how this happened.
We need Steve back as pastor to help our church heal and to have peace and to lay out the truth of how things went wrong! We need a strong pastor to navigate the days in which we’re living. Bring Steve back…!!!
My family would love to come back, but will not support Rob Rogers.
I stand for the TRUTH of God’s Word spoken with courage and boldness.
We miss Pastor Steve and his teaching
A lot of time and effort was put in to this church by myself and friends. We supported Steve and we’re at the church because of him. He was a pastor of Trueheart who loves Jesus. His blood sweat and tears have been completely negated for a power grab. The complete insurrection of the board Jonathan, Mark and everyone else that Steve brought in to that church and gave income and security to has caused so much hurt to the church and Steve.
I agree
This is biblical. Restore righteousness so this body of believers can heal and the One True Gospel can go forth.
I started attending Grace Chapel 4 years ago. I was hungry for a church that wasn't just luke warm. My friend invited me to Grace and it spiritually changed my life. Steve's truthful and passionate sermons was the on fire bold church I had been searching for. The Holy Spirit's prescence was so strong in the church. Grace has now become the Luke warm church I left years ago. It is really hard to find a pastor or a church that stands on God's truths no matter what or who it may offend. We want Steve back!
The church has changed majorly, it used to be so pretty and full of life with beautiful paintings on the walls for children and now it looks like a prison with normal gray walls hard floors and not even to mention Steve is gone. I want it to go back to how it was.
I agree.
Trust is based on Truth!
Two words... Integrity and Love. My heart is totally crushed by everything this sweet family is enduring. God will prevail.
To look at one facet of the current leadership problems, they claim there had been no sin amidst everything that’s happened. Yet they said at the beginning that prideful actions were taken. There also seems to be many that stood by while bad continued to be perpetuated and avoiding doing good when you know otherwise is sin. So, it would seem that are being lied to… how do you then trust anything else being said/handed down.
We love Steve Berger and his family. His teaching annoyed by God has changed my life. Thank you Jesus for Steve Berger
Grace Chapel was one of the few places in our “politically correct” but sadly mislead world where one could find THE TRUTH. Without Steve’s leadership it has fallen into the same hole as our Media, Public School System and Political System. It is in a word, Pathetic.
We were very disappointed with Rob’s and the elder’s hiding information and handling of the dramatic events that have occurred since THAT Sunday. We respect his decision to step down and focus on ASI. However, we would love to see his rightful position with a seat on the board as founding pastor. We would love for him to have pulpit time and most importantly—if he will not return to minister full time at GC, we feel that he should help make the decisions for the next pastoral leadership.
Love the heart of Steve Berger! Miss my church family.
I agree
It seems to me we should judge a tree by its fruit. If it's not productive or rip it out. -Vinyard owner
Biblical
I agree with the statements stated in the petition & the reasons for the petition .
I have been at Grace Chapel for 24 years. The Berger family IS family to me. Steve and Sarah are some of the most genuine, God fearing people I know. I have known them for a very long time behind the scenes and outside of church walls, it doesn’t get anymore real than those two. I will not sit by idle any longer and watch the destruction crumble Grace Chapel from the inside out. Steve and Sarah have been betrayed, slandered, and absolutely under attack. Grace Chapel can’t afford to keep the current leadership in place and see what happens next. I will continue to pray for truth to see daylight and for the enemy to flee. The Berger’s have poured their souls, their entire lives into founding and building this spirit filled church. The spirit is gone. This is garbage, I will not sit by and watch my home burn. CHANGES MUST BE MADE!!!!
Steve’s in-depth teaching from the Bible is the reason me and my family started attending Grace many years ago when we met at the school gym.. I will always stand with Steve.
Pastor Steve Berger is so on fire for God. I have not continued to watch your church online since Steve has not been preaching. It is just not the same.
I started attending Grace 14 years ago, I stopped attending church once Pastor Steve resigned. I am a deep season of grief and I am bleeding for my own home church!
Pastor Steve has been my pastor all my life and with the way thing were handled with the church and their new pastor was not of Christian faith at all
I have been so positively impacted by Steve’s teachings.
I will support pastor Steve until my dying breath
I Believe in the power of love over fear and light over darkness.
It’s the right thing to do.
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do…?
I was a member of Grace Chapel since 2009 and I stand with Pastor Steve Berger as my spiritual leader and man of God. I totally support him and his leadership and I believe in him!!!!!!!
I support the original church founded by Pastor Steve Berger and a few other people. I wish to see this church reclaimed for Father God's purposes.
I am distraught but what has happened at Grace Chapel, and I completely agree with the statements in the petition
Steve has been my Pastor for 21 years. I am saddened by the events that have taken place over the past year. We need Steve’s passion the the truth of Gods word back in his pulpit for this church to survive!
I believe that God has shown me that under the current leadership God has removed his hand of blessing from Grace. That pastor Rob is a wolf in sheeps clothing. He has divided Gods body at Grace Chapel He has been a very disrespectful immature young man in dealing with his issue of Jealousy and greed along with self pride. Yes I believe he needs to resign and all the leadership with him. God has a Moses and a Joshua and a Gideon in the Halls waiting. Grace Chapel belongs to God Almighty Jesus is the leader and founder. He and He along will build us back. But not till all evil has been cleaned for the land may God have His way. Beverly Hall
I feel an injustice was done
Grace Chapel was founded and led on biblical principles. My husband and I were saved and married at Grace Chapel. We want courageous and biblical teaching back!
I believe in the the founding pastor Steve Berger’s vision and leadership which is what/who the Holy Spirit used to grow the church to thousands of members over 27 years of leadership.
This church was blessed because of Bible teaching and a man of God ,who has the gift to reach people for the kingdom
The Church needs sound, passionate Truth telling preachers like Steve Berger to tell us about the state of the Country, and how we as Christians can effect change in the broken Country that is about to be lost to Communism, If we don't start letting preacher's teach us how to help keep our Freedom's we will soon lose them. I do not want to be apart of a water downed Church with a man who does not have the spine to teach anything that may be controversial to liberals or even use a Bible or a Pulpit. When Steve left and they got rid of the pulpit and hired a guy with skinny jeans and an iPad instead of a Bible they lost the presence and the Spirit of God that was at that Church. No one knows more than me about the Spirit of God that used to be in that Church. I was washed in the Holy Spirit and healed in that Church and when Steve left, I felt that God's Spirit left as well. It has never been the same. This is sad, it feels like a win for the Enemy.
Steve is my pastor. And he knows how to lead a church. The way god intended him to.
I stand with Steve.
I stand with Steve.
Agree completely. Huge lack of spiritual humility and accountability. 15 years investing our family at Grace Chapel. Anger and frustration prevent me from saying anything else. Not going back until it’s made right.
I support Steve Berger!
The current leadership does not engender the trust or support of the in person or on line church community. Biblical standards can not be sacrificed for any reason. God wants more for His church than this.
We loved our Church the way it was with Steve at the helm preaching us the TRUTH, this new bunch can't begin to compare. I support the petition to bring Steve back and to find a new lead pastor.
Sick of the hidden agenda. This church was successful for one reason - Steve preached the truth whether politically correct or not. Let’s get back on track.
I have been a member of Grace Chapel for 18+ years and have felt the Holy Spirit and God’s presence in worship and through Steve’s powerful biblical messages. Through this transition to the new leadership, that presence has been lost and the church’s powerful impact diminished to simply a “Sunday Show”. Let’s get Grace Chapel back on track!
What the current leadership didn’t get was that we, the people of Grace Chapel, WANTED to be part of a courageous church. A church that tackled tough topics that no one else would touch, regardless of the backlash. To be taught to be BOLD and RELEVANT and to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the godless culture we live in. Lukewarm wasn’t the temperature we were going for. Why else would we drive past dozens of other churches on Sunday mornings, and take all the backroads to the middle of nowhere? Because a church that’s alive is worth the drive! We want her back.
Don’t like the direction the church has taken.
We stand with Pastor Steve!
We’ve called GC home for 12 years and know it’s better than its current state.
Since Pastor Steve’s departure there has been a shift from bold courageous truth to watered down messages careful to not offend. In a world where TRUTH is needed more than ever in our lifetime...now is not the time to skate around truth. Grace Chapel had been anointed and was a very special place because of the bold and courageous truth in its DNA from the Holy Spirit through Pastor Steve. It is why my family was there. If the church continues to change direction to be less offensive by avoiding hard political issues at hand then if isn’t the place for us. It grieves our Father to see his children divided. I pray we can unite on truth and truth alone and get Grace Chapel Leipers Fork back on the path of bold courageous truth in a world that desperately needs it.
I have grown up in Grace. Even when my family moved multiple times, Grace was still home. We have now returned back to TN and want grace to return to the great church is was.
We started attending Grace Chapel July 2020. The bold way God’s Word was taught, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the warm, welcoming community was amazing. We were thrilled to make Grace Chapel our Church home. However, by May 2021, it was apparent that a shift had taken place. We were unaware of the controversy, but could sense something was wrong. I support the petition and pray that Grace Chapel can once again be a Truth-filled, Christ-centered Church.
Steve Berger has been my pastor for over 20 years.
Deception, deflection, and manipulation by Rob.
I support Pastor Steve and his ministry!
The new leadership is terrible and not following what this church was founded on! Also they are not acting biblically with regard to reconciliation.
Love Pastor Berger.
I stand with Pastor Steve Berger
People know my story. Jesus lead me to Grace Chapel. 3 years ago I witnessed something that showed me who Rob Rogers truly is. God has left the building and its time to bring Him back.
Grace needs to return to the amazing church it was.
Steve Berger preached the WHOLE BIBLE, not selective pieces to avoid hurting feelings to help guide the LOST TO SALVATION.
We found Grace Chapel home. We were accepted as a biracial couple carrying our first baby. Never once was looked down upon by being a biracial couple of anything we were greeted with hugs and prayers. We will be forever grateful for the truth in which Pastor Steve preached each Sunday and we love how he preaches with the strength God gives him. God has outpoured immensely into this man of God.
Because I agree
Because it’s the right thing to do.
I feel Grace has become a theater performance. We have stopped attending due to these changes. Our family would definitely come back with the return of Steve Berger.
You can’t deceive the people and expect to stay in leadership. This current staff has shown us repeatedly how unprepared they are to lead this church any further. This is the worst year of Grace Chapel’s history! It’s time for and entire new leadership!
Because Steve is a good man and pastor
I am in agreement with this petition and stand with the authors of it. Grace chapel should be returned to the original founders without hesitation
Jesus take the wheel of this church and steer it back home where it’s humble beginnings began with YOU at the center!!
I have attended Grace Chapel since 1988. Steve Berger has pastored me and my family through unimaginable pain with grace, love and wisdom that can only come from a Man of God. He and Grace Chapel are my family.
The courageous unapologetic sharing of GOD’S word and scriptural truths by Steve Berger at this critical time in our nation’s history was what brought us to Grace Chapel. His reprehensible dismissal must not be allowed to go unchallenged.
Love Steve and Sarah Berger!!
Biblical
Steve Berger is the most amazing pastor. He was our pastor in Southern California, did our marriage counseling, and married us almost 30 years ago. He is the real deal, takes everyone as they are and truly cares about telling people about Jesus.
The new leadership is terrible and not following what this church was founded on! Also they are not acting biblically with regard to reconciliation.
In my view the course needs correcting
It is the right thing to do. GC is entering dangerous territory and could be identified as Laodicean.
The characteristics of what it means to be The Body have been damaged under the current leadership.
For the truth to prevail.
Member for over 10 years
I have loved this church and hate what’s being done to it
Long time supporter of Steve Berger. I love Steve’s passion for speaking truth & his love for this church, which is the people, that he founded in in his home almost 30 yrs ago. Steve desires to make a difference in our world to reflect to Gods glory. I’m very saddened as to how Steve’s as our founding pastor has been disrespected.
I feel the new leadership is not qualified.
I believe what Steve and Sarah built there with integrity and vision is being compromised and should be brought back into balance and rightful authority.
Pastor Steve and Sarah have led Grace Chapel well for 27 years. They deserve respect and honor for those years of hard work, love and service! I pray all of this is remedied quickly.
I want my church back
Enough is enough. Bring back the truth.
I want my church back
My sister moved to TN 20 years ago specifically for Steve's teachings and ministry. The impact he has had on her and her family's life are a regular reminder to me of putting God first which is exactly what Steven does. No matter what happens may our Lord continue to bless Grace Chappel
I Love Jesus
The current leadership is disingenuous and has strayed from the biblically-centered teaching that we have felt connected to and engaged with for twenty years. I cannot support it or the way the Bergers have been treated since the transition. I have not even found a place I feel comfortable tithing since my church home imploded months ago. I cry every time I drive past Southall Rd. and sometimes in my own Nashville home because I am heartbroken about this situation. I am well aware that I don’t attend church to see a man. I go to experience Jesus, and that is not what I get under the new leadership. I won’t go back under the current leadership.
Loved hearing Steve’s Sunday messages. Not the same without him!
I want to see the ministry flourish the way God had intended. Though I am far away, my bride and I enjoyed the message that was previously delivered. Today it's filled with "woke" trash and weak leadership. The teaching is watered down and I quite frankly the leadership needs to change for this to truly happen!
Lack of leadership, transparency, truth, etc
I’ve been a member of grace for 11 years. We live Steve and his leadership! We are grieving and want our church back. We believ in transparency and truth
The current lead pastor is personally and spiritually immature in that he makes critical decisions without seeking wise council. He is also biblically and historically ignorant if he thinks he cannot trust Steve Berger to speak the truth, but did trust the news media.
I am in total support of everything the petition states.
I’m in total agreement with this petition.
I support Pastor Steve. His rights as Pastor at Grace Chapel and founding Pastor. Without him following God’s vision there wouldn’t be a Grace Chapel.
We need more church leaders like Pastor Steve Berger. He is a courageous truth speaker of Gods word. End this chaos and reinstate Pastor Steven Berger as founding Pastor.
Love Pastor Steve
Steven, and Sarah are both true teachers of God’s word… they are a blessing to so many
Because of misleading information. To return to Biblical True , with a shepherd who will lead with Truth Wisdom and Courage in times we are living in .
I agree with the above statement.
God Bless Grace Chapel & the Berger family.
I was some of the few who gathered first at the school. I prayed over the land the church is built on. Watched as the saying goes if you build it they will come. The Word and vision that was given to Pastor Steve had come to life. What wasn’t broken doesn’t need to be fixed. The results of so many leaving the church speaks for itself. It was my home church for over 20 years.
I do not think the current leadership is following what God has called them to do!
Steve speaks Gods Word!
I stopped attending after the take over and poor display of leadership of Rob Rogers. I cannot allow a man who walked away from his congregation while it was under “attack” come back and try to be the “strong” pastor…. I do not, and will not support GC Under it’s current leadership of rob and mark bright
We need leadership we can trust
To return Grace Chapel Liepers Fork to the Bible teaching house of God that was founded by Pastor Steve Berger. The chaos and failure by the current leadership is heartbreaking and must be corrected. We need truth and integrity returned to GCLF immediately.
I’ve been there for 27 years until Covid and then this BS Grace Chapel “IS” Steve Berger and not all these half/mushy Christians!!!!!
GC has been my church for 20 years. The Truth of the gospel has been preached unashamedly with unbridled courage and the utmost humility by Steve Berger. He needs to be re-instated as Founding pastor.
Steve speaks Gods Word!
Support Steven Sarah hundred percent
He married my husband and me 30 years ago and we have followed him all these years
Praying for Our Lord’s guidance!
We will only attend Grace chapel if Steve Berger is at the helm!
I cannot worship under a leadership team who could do something so underhanded & then keep it from the body!
12 years at Grace Chapel with Pastor Steve Berger
Truth prevails and Pastor Steve Berger deserves justice once and for all !
Because of 20 years
After years of listening and watching online of my brother in the faith Pastor Steve Berger, teaching, encouraging, and edifying, boldly yet humbly speaking God's Word of Truth. I know not only my heart, but many were broken in the church. Has there ever been such a division, and disruption while Pastor Steve was there? Not that I know of, I know our Redeemer lives, And He makes All things work together for our good. Lord have Your way in this matter in Jesus Holy matchless name Amen ???? ?
Demanding the take back of the Grace Chapel Church
Because I believe there has been extremely ungodly behavior and justice is needed
Courage and truth matter.
As a member of GC and a family who stands for truth!
We have lived through this nightmare long enough. We would love to see this church taken back for the furthering of Gods Kingdom
Steve will always be my pastor.
Do not like misinformation in the lack of transparency at Grace chapel leipers fork.
What happened at Grace Chapel was born from the sin of pride and a desire for power and influence by the current lead pastor and leadership team. That sin is still unrepented of, and the church is suffering for it. I pray for the leadership team to be broken before the Cross in humility and repentance. They are not qualified for leadership.
Need to hear the truth!!
Pastor Steve is Pastor Steve. The Lord used Pastor Steve to plant. Water. And Tend. God anointed him
I also stand with Steve and was discouraged by the recent turmoil. Praying for Grace Chapel and it's leaders, current and former congregation.
I think pastor Steve was wrongfully pushing out of the church.
I stand with Steve
I stand with Steve.
Current state of Grace is heartbreaking, there must be an overhaul of the current leadership to bring it back to life.
