Grace Baptist Church
Grace Baptist Church (now New Hope Community Church), located in Woodbrook Shopping Center, Charlottesville, VA,[1] was Chris's church until he was kicked out on 17 March 2008.
In September 2008, Chris claimed that "Pastor John Hartless did not like my views I've expressed in my video I did on my 25th Birthday, and he found the ED page."[2] Taking into account the fact that Chris started his "war" with ED on 16 September 2008, as well as his constant threats to use his congregation as a personal army, it's not hard to deduce that he linked Pastor H[e]artless to his ED page in the hope that he'd sic his flock on the website. However, it should be obvious to any non-manchild that this plan backfired, proving that God indeed does exist.
When publicly asked about his old church a little more than a year later, Chris claimed that the pastor "did a background check" and merely found a few images of girls in bikinis on Chris's Facebook page.[3]
After his expulsion from Grace Baptist Church, Chris moved to Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church. It seems that they were more willing to tolerate Chris's bullshit, but eventually they reached their breaking point as well.
The church is which Chris's imaginary wedding to Ivy takes place, CWCville Baptist Church,[4] is most likely named after Grace Baptist Church. This is peculiar, considering that the Wedding Comic was drawn on 2009, after Chris's expulsion from his old church.
