==Controversies== In 2004, Greater Grace World Outreach has been accused of cult-like behavior.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/baltsun/access/637903861.html?dids=637903861:637903861&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=May+15%2C+2004&author=Frank+Langfitt&pub=The+Sun&desc=Church+dispute+spills+onto+Internet+%3B+Web+site+airs+accusations+of+impropriety+by+pastor |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025082140/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/baltsun/access/637903861.html?dids=637903861:637903861&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=May+15,+2004&author=Frank+Langfitt&pub=The+Sun&desc=Church+dispute+spills+onto+Internet+%3B+Web+site+airs+accusations+of+impropriety+by+pastor |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 25, 2012 |title=Church dispute spills onto Internet; Web site airs accusations of impropriety by pastor |accessdate=2008-05-27 |last=Langfitt |first=Frank |date=2004-05-15 |newspaper=Baltimore Sun}}</ref> In 2007, a letter was written by the [[Christian Research Institute]], which offers a list of suggestions for the church, attempting to correct any of the false teachings that might exist. The main teaching which was considered a concern was that of delegated authority.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.carlstevens.org/subpage.html |title=Christian Research Institute |accessdate=2008-05-27 |date=2007 |publisher=Carlstevens.org}}</ref> However, in this document, Miller concedes that "TBS has, up to the time of this writing, also maintained an orthodox, biblical position on those doctrines most essential to the Christian faith. Thus, we do not consider TBS a non-Christian cult, but rather a Christian ministry." The document concludes with a call to repentance for the egregious sins committed by Stevens and leadership of GGWO. A repentance that has not come in full. In 2019, 32 people told The Millstones group that they had been sexually assaulted as children by men from the church. 18 other survivors also came forward. Victims and families say church officials have failed to provide satisfactory responses to the complaints.<ref>Leonardo Blair, [https://www.christianpost.com/news/baltimore-megachurch-to-investigate-after-abuse-allegations.html Baltimore megachurch promises investigation after dozens allege childhood sex abuse], christianpost.com, USA, July 11, 2024</ref>
