Wow! So, she has a lot to gain if everyone gets mad and the church is dissolved. Interesting!

It certainly appears that way! IMO, she's fighting for what she considers her rightful inheritance. If she has to destroy a church in the process....so be it!

Re: A Wrecked Church!

This pastor was a wonderful man and I am so sorry this is happening...I have a good friend that pastor's in Memphis.
Churches should be set up in a way that things will go on AFTER the pastor passes...It has been many years since I have been to Grey Road however I am deeply sorry...

This pastor and his wife were wonderful people....wish someone could have carried on...we all need to remember we are human and we will all pass off the scene...Moses needs Joshua...pass the mantel while you can don't wait until it is too late....

What about those of us who came in late and have no idea what the issue even is??

StillStanding, I know that you already know this, but never underestimate the power of prayer.

She does not want to fall into the hands of the Living God. It won't be pretty for her.

If he was one of those pastors who believe the entire tithe was his to keep and he bought rental homes in his name with it, then there is probably very little the people can do about it legally, except to get out of there. Maybe the eviction is a God-given blessing? They can gather together for fasting and prayer and have a new body of believers spring up. It is better that this happens than to stay in that situation. God can bring a five-fold ministry to that group.


But this is what happens when there is an independent church with a pastor who runs things his way without oversight from a board or five-fold ministry.
