Chad Everson UPDATE....

UPDATE: The listing for the house is no longer available via http://realestate.gainesville.com/.

Have you done your homework on his old church? Day Spring changed its name after he left,(click here - click on View Filed Documents at the top. Why would a church change its name?

Yes, he did call a person about a major theft at his last church asking for advice on what to do. Why did he not report something like this? He said because he didn't want it to get out in the community. I'm pretty sure it got out, and look at the state this church is still in four years after his departure.

Now he is begging the poor folks at MSBC to give more to make up for the people who left. Allegedly no children's activities for the summer, supposedly you have to pay for every class you take. When will it end? MSBC, you had the chance to see the light many months ago, but he deceived you then and continues to do so now.

I truly believe that there are still a few there that do what they do with the right motive; but it is clear as you interact with others that are still there, that they are either blinded by these men claiming to be pastors or they truly need to be introduced to Jesus. When you are rude to those who have left when you see them in the community, your true colors are evident, and the blackness of your heart shows through.

Many of us are praying for you MSBC and even for those in leadership as it is clear they need the Lord as bad as anyone else does, including me. Everyone messes up occasionally, but you should learn from it and not deceive people in order to keep up appearances.

NKJV © Matthew 7:15-20
7:15 “Watch out for false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are voracious wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruit. Grapes are not gathered from thorns or figs from thistles, are they? 17 In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree is not able to bear bad fruit, nor a bad tree to bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will recognize them by their fruit.

MSG © Matthew 7:16
Who preachers are is the main thing, not what they say. A genuine leader will never exploit your emotions or your pocketbook. These diseased trees with their bad apples are going to be chopped down and burned.

Another One

David Barker was dismissed as Prays Mill Baptist Church Music Minister in August 2006 due to his viewing of hard core pornography for several years on the computer system. This was reported by the church secretary and was verified that in fact, it had been going on a while. A forensic search on the notebook hard drive he solely used was done and found there to be deep rooted porn on his notebook. It was an issue that broke many hearts and many at Prays Mill were very angry at David for forcing the church to go through another Jarrod Everson- like incident at this church. After the findings were presented to Mike Everson, a meeting was later schedules and it was asked a meeting deacons C.J. Ellis, Robert Reynolds and Stacy Wiggins to discuss the incident be held. Discussions included several issues concerning David and his health, the upcoming revival, the state of the church, etc., Many were astounded at what was heard the deacons state to several men concerning the Porn viewings. It was presented that the pastor, Mike Everson wanted to “keep this quiet” and wanted to allow David to continue in his music position during the revival. Also, It was told that after the revival they would allow David to resign due to “health” reasons. They gave a copy of his “resignation letter” to some for reading. Many exploded with horror at what the leadership direction was going to be concerning David’s sin. ! Many within the church could not believe what was being heard - that elected deacons were going to go along with “lying from the pulpit” to Prays Mill Baptist Church. They were attempting to cover up this incident like several others, and lie to the church. People with knowledge within the membership got very angry and told C.J., “how dare you lie to my church!” He got very upset that these men were angry and that anyone questioned leadership. He stated that the church had elected them to “make these kinds of decisions”. He was told him that they were elected to represent the church, not self- interest. He was then told if the deacons allowed this to happen and they were going to sweep this under a rug, it would go to the congregation and the truth would be told personally to this church. It was even stated to them that if they went through with their plans, members would not be a part of Pray’s Mill any longer and they would just leave without fanfare. They then went into Mike’s office and discussed the matter and Mike Everson still wanted to keep it quiet from the church, but were considering other options including sending the notebook computer to the sheriff’s office for possible criminal prosecution. They asked the members to “keep the situation quiet” and away from other members until the investigation was completed and Mike was told them that if anyone asked, the truth would not be hidden and the truth would be told about what had just been talked about. Members at PMBC were shocked! It was later determined and revealed by Mike Everson to the membership, David Barker had been and was fired for “not repenting” for the viewing of the pornography along with other issues associated with his termination. David had used the computer system at the church while employed as minister and while a fully paid staff member at Pray’s Mill Baptist Church. He said he was sorry, but - as with all who get caught in some type of sin, it was felt by all he was most sorry for “getting caught”, not for the viewing the PORN.

Trouble

The Sr. Pastor at Madison Street Baptist Church Chad Everson brother Jarrod Everson was caught at his dad's former church in Douglasville Ga. viewing Pornography by the secretary and computer IT guy on his Dad's (Mike Everson) computer!( Jarrod logged into the network on his Dad's PC while he was away from his office ) Now Jarrod said he was “God Called” and moved to his brothers church, and his brother failed to inform the church when he was hired that his brother " the new Education / Children's minister" had been involved in Porn at another ( his Dad’s) church. The guy from the church that confirmed/verified Jarrod's viewings then called the Chairman of the Deacons (Mark) and ask if he or anyone knew anything about Jarrod’s PORN issue. Turns out the SR Pastor Chad Everson had not exposed this to anyone at the church ( no Deacons, Personnel Committees, no Members, family? etc.,) and so the covered up story began to explode in June 2007. In short the issue was denied by leadership, deacons, staff etc., so there was a detailed description of how it happened exposing the situation as it happened at both church's. But there have been and still are discussions/issues at this church by leadership, staff, and deacons of this church and so the beat goes on...

Why do ministers feel they have to cover up issues within the church?

There are issues ministers bring upon themselves and when confronted with these issues, they deny. Why do ministers feel they have to cover up issues within the church?

Examples:
1.Viewing Pornography on Computers
2.Ministers misusing money from hard working members
3. Gossiping and slandering others from the pulpit
4. Hiding and or hiring other ministers sins from other church's - ministries within their denominations
5. Dismissing members from a church without merit, biblical or by law followings
6. Keeping "secrets" from a church membership that should be made public
7. Using God's tithes / offerings ( being a bad steward) for "non ministerial or personal gains"

There are many other issues to list so.........Let the debates begin.
