  I have very good memories of gospel outreach,imparting life into me, opening me up to a world of freedom in christ even when discipleship was hard. They lived their convictions. Sometimes someone may do something that gives them a bad rap but the individual is growing in grace just as I was while they were patient w me. Their committed to the people they're in covenant with, even if they leave, they love, and dont stop just because they're not there. It is hard on them when they pour their lives into someone who walks away just as it is for anyone cuz it's not a show to them, theyve invested. I know it broke theyr hearts to see me, a reject, go. I've never heard them badmouth anyone who left or gossip or talk trash about anyone ever like I've seen at other top rated churches who trash and lie about ppl unlike GO that dont do that. These highly rated churches I was burned by, sided with the predator and to keep their high ratings would keep this immoral and sin lover, while making me go, the victim of this mans abuse. Discipline and correction is not abuse. I know what abuse is and I got it at other churches while they protected the wolf in sheeps clothing. This congregation prays for and loves the ones that leave even when they must protect the flock and usually welcome them back,if they're not a threat to anyone. sometimes there are ppl who need t0 repent but they remain committed to that person even if they have to love from afar as the bible says to. It's been many years since I've been there. I've had to learn many lessons being away. This church tries to adhere to biblical principles and protect women from predators which you never or hardly ever see in other churches. Churches are not dating sites. It's a place of worship,a holy place of purity where virgins are not insulted but who are validated, prized, valued as Gods ppl, who live for God, preparing them for marriage, not a one night stand or fleshy dating world of nightmares, the kind I endured when I left GO. I never felt as loved AND Protexted as i have when I was at gospel outreach besides certain times with my family. They were my 2nd family. I could hear Gods voice so clear when I was there among other warriors and true prophets of christ, not the flimsy fake, dime a dozen kind u see now adays. They prayed intensely over their prophetic words which proved accurate in my life and others there. This group of ppl choose to remain pure and undefiled from the world and its evil influences, that lead ppl and children astray and into deception. The bible says to do this so God can be a father to u, otherwise if u serve another god and dont allow jesus in the brethren to wash one another's feet, u have no part of him. It's a clean and simple gospel trusting God in all things, not the world so they stay pretty close, like an army ready for the inevitable decrease of Gods love and the war against christianity. It's not for everyone. U have to be willing to be a true disciple of christ, follow him and lay down ur life if u want to be in Covent like with anyone in a relationship, u want to know they're sold out not lujewarm but hot or cold. I'm not one to criticize because the depth of our sin in each of our hearts goes so deep and left to ourselves, the evil can take over if not walking in the light. So It may be pretty closed there but so was jesus group of 12 disciples, although jesus did allow others to follow him in crowds but he did not always come across welcoming or friendly when living in the spirit doing the fathers will. I myself was so relieved there was no dating. It was a huge relief and weight off my shoulders since guys chased after me when I was young and tried to defile me. I came alive there once I stopped fighting the truth and was bolder, more full of joy, interested in Gods word, w out the distraction of men hitting on me. I was full of joy and peace. I got preyed on in another church later on after GO, by a guy w a long unrepentant life of preying on women and children, living a double life, a woman hater who never listened to any sermon, but was well liked, tolerated and allowed to stay, prey on women and kids, something that would never have happened or ever be allowed at GO. They dealt with this stuff before it happened, nipped it in bud at first sign of predatory behavior harassing a woman as I was harrassed and stalked by a guy in other church. GO would never let that happen. I was never violated by any men in GO but I was violated and backbit, gossiped about at another church in town that was rated 4.8. I didn't think I could be a strong disciple so I left, plus one lady told me I wasnt producing much fruit and asked me what I was doing there so I got hurt by this person everyone knows is a bit heavy handed but I respected her, how she supported her husband, loved the word, raised her kids into awesome adults. we were so different tho I tried to listen to her cuz she was incredibly strong but also blunt. It hurt me when she said she didnt want me there so I left but that was one person who happened to be blunt. its better to be afflicted than to go astray and wind up in the hands of evildoers who have no conscience and defile women, put them through a living hell. I longed for the days of gospel outreach but the enemy pulled me further into one storm after another. I had ties to another church and the man who got in my life, w no one to watch out for me or care when he pushed his way in my life. Gospel outreach men watched out to protect the women in church so that no snakes would slither in which caused men to have a gripe. I'm very grateful for that. When I left I was subject to one heartbreak after another, 2 evil men who robbed me of so many years, my whole life. By the time I got free of one thing, another predator came along in church who tore my life apart. I was no longer in the area to return to GO. Life happened and dealt me some blows and sent me adrift into the unknown far from the town where the church I'd always felt was my 2nd family. It may not be super popular to confront sinful ways,bring down strongholds and believe in the resurrection of christ living inside you, in full, making it seem bizzare to ppl whove been taught jesus is in history but not living in u just as he lived 2000 yrs ago. They teach ppl to prefer and serve one another, to participate In hands on serving, washing each others feet,loving the unlovable, exposing the lies of the enemy and protecting the flock, esp women and children,just as christ told us to live. As we draw near to the end times,it is not popular to live this way and it's a scary world we live in so there is a need to stay close seeing what happens out there. It can be dirty work but there are ppl in GO willing to do what other churches are not equipping the saints,loving their neighbor even when it inconveniences them. I've seen Don oconnor bend down and reach out to a poor lowly obese rejected mother raising 2 boys on her own regularly, who had zero to offer her,and give away his coveted bible, the one he loved the most with all its markings and highlighted scriptures on it. It's a discipleship, but they know how to hsve fun to and enjoy the simple and good things in life. They had a great singles group which focused on growth in christ, having tons of fun, fellowship which was always fun, excursions, skiing weddings were so happy allowing participation from the congregation not just the elite. I have missed all these glorious times with the brethren as I sunk deeper into a world where I am alone, driven far away by circumstances I found myself in after leaving GO. I know it's not the only church in the world but of all the churches I miss them the most, ppl I hsvent seen in many years. I had to leave my other church to avoid my ex, which was brutal end, with some ppl I miss almost as much. Ppl I knew at GO had a genuine love for me in christ they extended after I left, keeping in touch. I was the one who fell off the earth, I reverted to my loner ways. I still hear their voices, with the most basic simple lessons I recall because they werent just words, they were from the loving God with words of life, given for edification not to gain anything so my soul knew it was safe. I still recall so many things they taught me that applied to life outside, equipping me for things to come. The daughters of the oconnors were servants, full of life with a true heart of friendship. I've taken taken them with me. I cannot erase them from my heart along with others there who showed gods love. I'm sure ppl have gotten wounded, offended or felt like their lives were controlled, as it happens at many churches, and I know I'm one who may hsve reproached them bu doing something that was uncharacteristic of their nature, which gives them a bad rap when it happens, but this ministry isnt for the faint of heart or faithless or for ppl who never sin either. This church is not for everyone but it's good for those who choose to be in covenent and are serious about it cuz they are no respecter of persons as I recall. The leadership i recall, looked to the heart. I was more accepted as I was there than any other church. I blossomed knowing I was accepted in the beloved by many and a few in particular and it was amicable when I left always hoping to return but things in life took me away. I dont have it in me to face them after so long away w the bitterness of wasted years on the wrong ppl and things but now my life has taken a different course. They're still in my heart, like the stones engraved on Joseph's breastplate who loved his brothers til the end.

  This place is the definition of evil; Stay as far away from here as you possibly can. Behind the temporary smiles, musical performances, and middle-class lifestyles are a group of individuals seeking to tear apart any life that doesn’t fit their mold. Spineless perverted men, abused women and brainwashed children are plenty here. If you care about yourself or your family in the slightest, do not go here.

  LOVING CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY. TRUE TO THE WORD. KEN AND JUDI CURRIE

  Added February 24, 2019 by JUDI CURRIE

  I first came to this church back when I was little. My parents attended here for quite awhile, but left one day and never went back. I had always had fun with the other kids, even though the adults were very strict in everything they did. My parents never told me why they left, but I knew from their attitudes it wasn't good. Once I was an adult I decided to visit this church one Sunday and it was a lively place with great singing and lots of active worshipers. After the service, however, I found it odd that I was only allowed to speak to other women, never any of the men, even though I found a couple of them attractive and wanted to talk to them. I decided to give it a few weeks, but soon learned if I stayed I would be expected to give control of my entire life over to the pastor and deacons of this church. Several people revealed to me secretly that they wanted to leave, but feared for their lives and marriages, knowing the leadership there would break up their marriages and families if they tried to leave. I decided I now knew why my parents left and after speaking to them about it (finally) I left and never went back. I have never seen another church that appeared to be as cultic as this place and advise staying far away from it.

  First of all there is no one that was born at this church named Micheala Barney .. I'm posting under an alias for my sake and my families sake.. I was born there. Gospel outreach is a cult. Using verbal, mental, and sometimes physical abuse to create a society cut off from the world in order to isolate the children who are born into knowing only one reality... It is unhealthy emotionally , physically , and psychologically.. The facade and the performance are perfect the results are life shattering.. This is not the "perfect little village" it pretends to be.

  My experience with Gospel Outreach Reformational Church has been very good. The pastors labor daily to research and study the Word of God and to teach it to their congregations, helping to apply the law and gospel to their daily lives. I personally have benefitted from the Word of God preached and applied to my life daily, helping me to know His Word so I might hide it in my heart and be armed with His Word when the floods lift up their voice in my life.
  
  Psalms 119:11 - Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
  Psalms 9:9 - The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

  Those denying these reviews concerning Gospel Outreach of Olympia are already deceived and do not even realize they are living in and participating in a cult. It is sad. Spent many years there. In truth, I was there before the man by the name of Donald O'Connor (who is the man responsible for turning it into a cult). It was a very sad day, when I had to move on and leave many friends behind who had been sucked into all the control and deception. Be wary if you should happen to go there to check them out. They hide behind the guise of reformation theology. What you see in one or two visits is NOT going to allow you to be privy to the disgusting abuse that goes on behind closed doors and private meetings. What some have stated about emotional, spiritual, and sometimes physical abuse is TRUE. They are a cult and should be viewed and treated as such. They are known for dividing families, shunning those who leave or disagree with them. It's a very sad state of affairs no matter what a few post.

  This is the creepiest "church" I've ever encountered. You can't reach the housing development without going through the church parking lot, then down a creepy unlit dirt road. How do they remain so isolated in a city? Do they have their own power, sewer, ambulances... etc? Do they even go to doctors? Are babies born in a barn? WTF????
