• ACBC removed Grace Community Church from its list of approved training centers.
• The decision followed complaints about how the church handled domestic abuse situations.
• Advocates say counseling ministries must protect victims and uphold accountability.

A leading Christian counseling organization has officially removed Grace Community Church from its list of approved training centers following a series of serious allegations.

The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors took this step after reviewing complaints regarding how the church handled domestic abuse situations.

The move follows a lawsuit filed by a congregant alleging the church failed to protect victims from abuse.

This decision underscores the vital necessity for church leadership to exercise profound wisdom and Christ-like protection over the vulnerable within the flock.

Former elder Hohn Cho said the disciplinary action was a necessary step toward prioritizing genuine care over institutional loyalty.

He noted that the removal reflects a commitment to the well-being of those seeking counsel.

“I commend ACBC for taking this action, and I pray it reflects a continuing commitment to genuine care for counselees, over institutional loyalty,” stated Cho.

In previous testimonies, women alleged that the counseling ministry sometimes favored abusers, highlighting an urgent need for reform in pastoral guidance.

As believers, we must pray for healing for the victims and for discernment among those tasked with shepherding God’s people.

May our churches always be sanctuaries of truth and safety, reflecting the righteous character of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let us continue to uphold biblical standards that defend the innocent and hold the wayward accountable.

Recent data indicates that the decline of religion in America relates directly to the collapse of the traditional family unit over the last forty years. Churchgoers under age 30 are significantly more likely to have been raised in a continuously married home compared to their secular peers.

As the family of origin shapes a child’s worldview, the absence of a stable father figure often makes it harder for youth to understand the love of a Heavenly Father. Scriptural principles confirm that parents are tasked with passing down God’s commandments, a mission hindered by broken homes.

“In short, faith follows family.”

While policy can assist, true renewal must come from the Church reclaiming marriage as a sacred and essential institution for a healthy society. We must prioritize the domestic church if we hope to restore the moral compass of our great nation.

Faith Facts

Strong families are the bedrock of a free and virtuous society. Stand with us as we advocate for the biblical values that preserve our faith and our freedom.
