The Gladstone Community, now known as the Madison Place Community Church, is a religious organization located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Its origins trace back to 2010 when Zak Kijinski started an at-home Bible study as a part of the Vineyard Church movement. Over time, it has evolved into a community of approximately 125 members, encompassing multiple homes and businesses in the Madison Place/Mariemont area. Their initial vision was to practice Biblical Christianity through discipleship and communal sharing of resources, including homes, vehicles, and finances.

​

Regrettably, the Gladstone Community has deviated from its original intentions, transforming into a destructive cult that preys on the vulnerable through manipulation and control. While they initially promised freedom in Christ through the gospel of grace, they have since established a church that emphasizes strict rules and salvation through works rather than genuine faith.
