Jennifer Austin: The pastor Brad is completely out of line and not operating within the code of ethics of pastors. He’s insisted members quit their jobs if it interferes w church services hours. Not everyone has the luxury of having a job that has weekends off due to their financial situation. He’s penalized members for attendance by forcing repentance for lack of attendance as a requirement for communion. His behaviors are of the bullying and ostracizing nature and not in line w the ethics of the church.
Historically the pastors at this church have been beyond welcoming, gracious and understanding. Brad has tarnished the reputation of the church with his egregious behaviors and has damaged many long lasting relationships within the church. He is an example of someone who has been allowed power to go his head and operates as he is the end all be all in the church. I will be reporting him to the Baptist powers that be and necessary authorities.
