Grace Chinese Baptist Church of San Jose

This church does not currently have a pastor and had lay deacons handle my father-in-law’s funeral. Unfortunately they sided with my father-in-law’s second wife (who is not my wife’s mother) and excluded the natural born children from participating in the funeral service. We wanted to ask attendees to contribute to a charity in lieu of flowers and the stepmother forbade us from including a flyer in the program. The deacon in charge falsely accused my brother in law of not being there for the deceased when in fact he was there every day for 2 months in the intensive care unit.
This unprofessional treatment is completely antithetical to the Kingdom of God. At the very least they could have chosen NOT to take sides and gotten help from a professional pastor to mediate the situation. I can confidently speak for my wife and her siblings that this church’s lay leadership did more harm than good to us.
