Greater Grace Investigation: Where the Fight Stands Now

It started around a campfire. A group of former Greater Grace World Outreach members — calling themselves the Millstones — started comparing stories. What they found was bigger than any of them expected. Allegations spanning decades. What investigators would later describe as patterns consistent with a cover-up. A system allegedly built to silence the people it harmed.

Their work led to a Baltimore Banner investigation. That coverage pushed the church to commission an independent review. The resulting 172-page report was devastating — calling for the removal of four top leaders and describing a culture so resistant to accountability that the investigators said meaningful change was impossible under the current leadership.

The report is public. Lawsuits are active. A former pastor has been indicted on criminal charges. The church resigned from an evangelical financial accountability organization while under governance review. And the four leaders the report named? Still in their positions, with a vague promise to think about transitions and no timeline.

Elita Galvin started her own investigation before any of the official ones existed — launching her podcast work in 2023 and now hosting Looking for Grace as the story continues to develop. Oscar, joining us under a pseudonym, left Greater Grace over twenty years ago and describes the lasting trauma that makes even reading the report a physical ordeal.

This final part of our series covers how the wall of silence broke, what the investigation actually found, the striking parallels to the IBLP and Duggar story, and where this fight goes from here.
