Strong

Strong

Expository Bible teaching. SermonAudio archive confirms verse-by-verse approach.

Strong

Mission Clarity

Great Commission central?

Great Commission focused. Active men's retreats and discipleship.

Strong

Cultural Alignment

DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?

Jon Harris is THE voice refuting social justice in evangelicalism. His books (Social Justice Goes to Church, Against All Who Dwell on the Earth) are seminal. Church is explicitly anti-woke. | GREEN signal: Pastor Scott Harris is a public signatory of "The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel" (the 2018 "Dallas Statement," statementonsocialjustice.com), the post-2018 Big Eva line in the sand against CRT, woke evangelicalism, and feminized social justice. Verified via Wayback Machine snapshots. Per the "people is policy" principle, this is a strong positive marker of orthodox conservative-Reformed conviction.

Strong

Accountability Structure

Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

Independent Bible church — no formal denominational accountability. Yellow for independence. Jon Harris's broader public ministry (Conversations That Matter, Music and Masculinity) not re-surfaced on homepage but not contradicted; prior record holds.

Caution

Assessment

Grace Bible Church in Wappingers Falls, NY is one of the most significant anti-social-justice evangelical churches in America. Senior Pastor Scott Harris and his son Jon Harris (Music Director) lead a congregation explicitly committed to biblical manhood, expository preaching, and cultural resistance. Jon Harris hosts the Conversations That Matter podcast — a leading voice against woke Christianity, CRT, egalitarianism, and denominational drift. He is the author of Social Justice Goes to Church and Against All Who Dwell on the Earth. Annual Music and Masculinity Conference. The family-integrated, patriarchal, Bible-centered culture makes this one of the rare GREEN-rated churches in New York state. Only yellow mark is independence (no external denominational accountability), but the internal culture is strongly orthodox.
