GraceLife Church of Edmonton - Spruce Grove, Alberta

All G. L. L.

I recently had an experience that truly exemplifies the kindness and generosity of the community at Grace Life Church. Friday evening my company truck broke down on the range road right beside their church. I managed to push it into their parking lot, taking up a few stalls, but I planned to return the next morning to deal with it. Unfortunately, I had to leave town unexpectedly and completely forgot about the truck until three days later.

When I finally remembered, I was bracing myself for the worst, fully expecting that my truck had been towed due to my poor parking situation. I called the impound lot, only to find out it wasn’t there. Confused, I drove back to the church to see if they had a towing service listed on their no parking signs or if someone could help me locate my vehicle.

To my surprise and immense relief, I found my truck safely parked on the grass, neatly out of the way of the parking stalls. I couldn’t believe it! It was clear that people from the church had taken the time and effort to move my truck, which must have been quite a task given its size.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the wonderful people at Grace Life Church for their kindness and helpfulness during a stressful time. Their actions truly speaks volumes about the caring nature of this community. Thank you, Grace Life Church, for your extreme kindness.

I've never attended this church, but our group was doing a highway cleanup fundraiser of the highway it is located on. They were kind enough to let us use their parking lot as our home base for the day. Good folks. 🙂

This is my former church who excommunicated and shunned me for speaking the truth about the heresies and false gospels of Calvinism and Lordship Salvation! They spiritually abused me and the church must be avoided!

This church has been a blessing to our family through the awana ministry. We are happy with our home church but if that ever changes, i will be attending here. I listen to the sermons on podcasts every week while im home all day with my kids. Especially when im feeling discouraged with the redundancy of the day, these give my afternoon a bright spot. Thanks pastor james and all leadership, and a special thanks to the awana coordinators and volunteers. This place is so special.

Grace life church has been a blessing & an example for me & the Whole body of Christ in the world 🌎. I got to know this Church after What happened during pandemic and how the church stood for what’s right as a church like they didn’t close the church ⛪️ & , even their senior pastor got arrested , but all members of the church has been stood up as one body till the end like for more Than a year & The rest is History . And Finally God honors those kind of faithful ministers and believers whom took their faith in his word . Even the little you know about the word , practise on it . So this church is that kind of testimony. God bless Pastor James Coates and his wife and all members of the church .

This is an out of date review but it has been painfully overdue.
Going back to early last winter/spring, after 'normallacy' seemed to have returned, I attended here looking for fellowship with the belief that a pastor who was willing to be jailed for his beliefs would be a true man of scripture and open to repenting from the heresies of man-made tradition that we've inherited. Long story short, nope! But wait, oh yes!

I attended 3 services in total with the teachings being quite impressive as they were moving through John 12, 13, and into chapters which I have mined through personally. However, when it came to chapter, 14 iirc, the head pastor who was imprisoned had finally returned to teach that service. Sadly, the missing backstory is that, despite filling it out in a welcome card the first service I attended and requesting a conversation with the leadership directly during both 1st and 2nd services; I had not been given the opportunity to have a conversation with the leadership, ANY leadership. Sadly this meant on the John 14 return service was also the communion service. Communion is, if my readers are unawares, a tradition fabricated by the vatican and oppressed upon free man across the face of the earth. Yes, reformers of the prior centuries cast off communion and pagan statutory 'holi-days' for the Feasts that are listed in the book of Leviticus's 23rd chapter. Dreadfully, this religious zealot of a "pastor" went on to twist the Last Supper Passover meal as communion. I had to stand, polietly after waiting for him to finish his prayer, and interject with the question, "What if it isn't the right meal? What if it's supposed to be Passover and we have inherited lies?"
Another congregant piped up, "Bfft, what for centuries?"
"Millenia even." I replied.
Following this, I was surrounded by several large ushers who guided me out of their 'sacred' stage-room, or auditorium. During this guiding a lone member of the leadership team had a "talk" with me essentially about how I needed to accept that I was wrong even just for speaking during the service, it seemed. Not to mention that they were not willing to hear my perspective on scripture and I could only email him directly about it to which no one else would hear me and I was BANNED until he and I resolved the matter. Honestly, you couldn't get more vile worthless arrogant hypocrisy out of a church experience.

Another reviewer mentioned the arrogance that he experienced here. Well the pompous entitled attitude that elder Rob expressed to me in under 1 minute of dictating my "error" to me - without listening to a word I had to offer. These vile slime think themselves righteous men when they are nothing more than hypocritical religious zealots. Yes, their zeal is strong, but it's for their own arrogance, not the Creator's will.

This church has impacted me and my family so much, I am so glad that the true message of the Bible has been exposed to me. The people are so nice (there's a lot of them!) and the messages are so soaked in scripture. Lord-willing, this church will continue to grow!
