Uh oh, look what Cultbuster is reporting:

Lawsuit Coming for Trinity (click here).

Trinity, you were warned about this so called "pastor's" lack of concern for the flock.

All you "deacons" and "psc members" that would not heed those warnings, this is as much your fault as it is his.

The TRUTH shall set you free.

Stay tuned folks, this will be interesting.

With the Sandusky story coming to light, it just sounds so familiar. Leaders of an established organization covering up the abuse of a child.

I know a so called "pastor" that has covered up missing money and the abuse of at least one minor that carter got busted for. Too bad all the other carter cronies that covered for him did not get fired or arrested.

When you support corrupt leaders like this, you get what you got. It may look successful for a time, but it will come crashing down one day.

Anonymous POSTS:

"You cowards! If this man is evil then, for God's sake, confront him, challenge him, publicly rebuke him.

If he is simply disliked, then "shake the dust from your feet" and move on.

But what do you do? You hide and snipe at him from afar, gossiping like a bunch of pubescent schoolgirls accomplishing nothing but building up your own contempt and sinfulness."

He HAS BEEN confronted more than once, face to face, and many HAVE moved on because of his deeds and the cowardly leadership in churches that have allowed this wolf to continue to ravage the flock even after he and his band of thugs were exposed for what they really are.

His actions continue to be exposed, and you call it gossip. However, others out there clearly deserve a warning and that is what this is about. Use you good ‘ole evangelism analogy, if you were driving by a house that was on fire and saw the people just sitting in it unaware, would you not warn them of their impending doom? Trinity was warned, but unfortunately those in Byron and Starke did not have that luxury until it was too late.

WARNING churches, there are wolves in sheep's clothing. The Bible warns about it, but when it is brought to light in your church, you want to hide behind “not messing with God's anointed.” Well I submit to you, God's anointed would have taken heed long ago and not continued to destroy the Church of the Living God in the name of Jesus Christ.

The TRUTH marches on.

These guys are on the prowl folks, Trinity, do not just let them slither into another church to destroy. The third time is the trick, do what you must.

Search committees, continue to do your homework, do not simply believe this site or any other, call your potential pastor's previous churches, ask about the finances and the attendance, before, during, and after his departure. Do financial, legal, and criminal background checks. The Internet is not always the truth, but it can lead you to some solid sources. It is worth not rushing in, do not let some smooth talker worm his way in without you earnestly seeking out the truth about who the man really is. If he is truly God led, he will sit and wait on the Holy Spirit to lead and move. Faith is required, but God has given you the resources and the intelligence to NOT be stupid.

You search committees are not only there to seek out God's will, but also to protect the families He has put under your protection. Leaders in the church WILL be held to a higher standard, and that is not just the pastor. Are you listening, Sunday school teacher, deacon, youth worker, worship leader, children's worker, pastor search team, trustee? If you have been called to this role, then remember, you answer to the Almighty God, not man.

Be ware, wolves in sheep's clothing exist, just ask those in Byron, Starke, and now Southaven.

The following paragraph was posted a couple of weeks ago, and it was held until now. It needs to be said now since this so called "pastor" is on the hunt once again.

"This is the same man who covered up a child molester on his own staff in Florida. He knowingly knew about it and even went so far as to attack the family of the girl involved for having the nerve to say anything and turn in the pervert. Now chad wants to look so high and HOLY please he just makes me SICK!"

This is also the same man who covered up the theft of over $70,000 at his first church in Georgia.

History is something that we are supposed to learn from, not simply repeat. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. If another church picks up this bunch of liars and thieves and expects to get a real pastor and staff that is out to do God's will, then do not be surprised when you just continue to give them another place to destroy. Will the insanity ever stop?

Trinity, this is now your problem, stand up and do what the others were afraid to do.

Re-posted as requested from October 16, 2010
*********************************************

The following post is from a current member at Trinity Baptist in Southaven.

My dearest fellow Trinity members,

I am going to write to you because there are some things I feel you should know. Some of this you may know and some you may not, but I think this information may make some of the things we are seeing make more sense. I am not going to print opinions, unreliable information, or hearsay; I only want to give you the facts, although I will give you some of the conclusions I have drawn at the end. The following information comes straight from Chad Everson’s resume, and you can verify by following the links included at the end of this post.

Chad does not have a legitimate doctorate degree, nor is his master’s degree from a notable, accredited institution. As we all know, Chad does not have a problem talking about his time at Mid-America Seminary. It gives him credibility because MABTS is well regarded, especially in our area, because it is so close. He threw it around quite a bit when he came in view of a call because Dr. Mahony was there. He did not graduate from MABTS, though. He finished his “education” at Andersonville Baptist Seminary.

Why is this important? A Master’s of Divinity (the traditional program for those who want to pastor) at MABTS requires 88 semester hours, which is 30 classes and generally takes 3 years or longer to complete. The Master’s of Theology degree from Andersonville only requires 30 semester hours, which is only 10 classes and, according to Andersonville’s website, can be completed in as little as 12 months. What does that mean? It means that our pastor has less education than most of the rest of our staff, and I use “most” only because I don’t know Jon Rushing’s educational background. The major Southern Baptist seminaries don’t even recognize degrees or coursework from Andersonville.

The “Doctor of Ministry” degree from Lake Charles Bible College is no better: mail in a few hundred dollars, read and complete 5 workbooks, and anyone can have this degree. It is basically a diploma mill. What does MABTS require to receive a doctorate? A Master’s from an accredited institution with no lower than a “B” average, 2 years of ministry experience, and 32 doctoral level hours, including a major ministry project, seminars, and a final major exam. It also takes generally THREE YEARS to complete this program. Even the application process is difficult – it takes the doctoral committee 60 days to review applications to the program, whereas Lake Charles’ website states that you “can even start the day you apply.” Getting a real doctorate is NOT easy – talk to anyone who has done it or attempted it. It is so intense, many pastors have to take a sabbatical from their churches to finish it, and I have even met some ministers who have nearly lost their families due to the time consuming nature of the program. Calling yourself a doctor of anything with a “degree” like Chad’s this is a true slap in the face to anyone who actually put in the time and effort to really earn theirs. Would you let your open heart surgery be performed by a doctor who bought their doctor’s degree and put in little time or effort? I didn’t think so; neither would I. Why do we expect any less from one who we trust with our church’s spiritual health?

For those of you who were here when Bro. Jim was presented in view of a call 20 years ago: Do you remember the big stink created about his doctorate obtained through Luther Rice Seminary? Do you remember Dr. Skinner being so upset by the lack of requirements needed to graduate from LRS? This is so much worse. At least LRS requires that you actually do real work, even if it is by correspondence.

Lake Charles Bible College Doctor of Ministry: http://www.lakecharlesbiblecollege.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=34:doctorofministry&catid=14:doctors&Itemid=9

My conclusions:

Why is this relevant? Why does this bother me, and why should it bother you? Because we have a pastor who is passing himself off as something he is not. THAT is a fundamental problem with anyone, but this is inexcusable for a pastor. Transparency of a pastor should not be optional! How can a pastor expect to build relationships with his church if he isn’t real? He never said that he did graduate from Mid-America, but he conveniently leaves out where he did finish. You can check this for yourself. Check out his personally posted profiles at http://bigsight.org/chad_everson , https://www.xing.com/profile/Chad_Everson , http://www.ziki.com/en/chad-everson+132964 , http://www.linkedin.com/in/chadaeverson , and so on.

If he is so proud of his time at Mid-America and lists it under “education”, why purposefully leave out Andersonville and Lake Charles? Because Chad knows that other pastors know the reputation of those “institutions,” and it will defeat the purpose. Why else would someone want to obtain a doctorate and not tell everyone where it came from? It is interesting that the very thing he has used to try give himself credibility, in my opinion, has discredited him in the deceptive way he has gone about it. And, while we’re at it, am I the only one who has a problem with a pastor promoting himself on these professional sites? What is the purpose? Shouldn’t promoting the cause of Christ be more important than promoting ourselves?

And why is it okay to take the “short route” with your “education?” Just to call yourself a doctor? Just to have the prestige and recognition? When does a pastor, above anyone, need to promote himself? Isn’t it his job to promote the Lord Jesus, not himself? Aren’t you only cheating yourself out of a proper education just to get a few letters to tack onto the beginning of your name? Aren’t you cheating your churches out of the knowledge and insight you would have gained by obtaining a real degree? And if a pastor is willing to take the “short route” to a degree, in what else is he willing to take a short cut?

I love you, Trinity! Remember to be like Peter. Keep your eyes fixed on Christ and not the crashing waves around you, and by all means, don’t sink!!

Beware, he is in his element with his "meetings." He deserved an Oscar for his performances in Byron and Starke. Be prepared for a great show.

If you are not with him, then you're a "nut" and a troublemaker who is lost.

If you want to take care of this, confront this megalomaniac in this service. Stand up to him, and if anyone puts their hands on you, press charges. Call the local paper, call the local Sheriff's office if you have to, but by God, make a stand.

ENOUGH Trinity, stop being bullied by this coward and his brainwashed minions. Take back what God entrusted you with, HIS CHURCH.

The next time chad preaches to warn you about taking the Lord's Supper without first going and reconciling yourselves to those that have ought against you, watch him to see if he goes and tries to reconcile those Brothers and Sisters that have been harmed by his actions and his false teachings.

Just saying, practice what you preach.

Trinity members, there are only two options for you:

Leave and find a church that you can serve God in and let the wolves have it, or you can fire him. The latter means someone has to confront him head on. Who will say, "Here am I, Lord."

The Southern Baptist Convention is not going to, nor is able to help you either. Much of the SBC "leadership" has stood by an watched him destroy three different local church bodies. They have shown on more than one occasion that they do not care.

He will always have some sort of cult following. Just make sure that the people who follow him have the information they need to make an informed decision. If they still wish to follow him and believe his lies, then that is on them. They will answer to God just as we ALL WILL.

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

chad a everson on Judging Others

2010-10-07T13:43:00.001-04:00

The Bible is clear that God alone judges by seeing our hearts, so when we have to correct another, we must be very careful:

"Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted" (Galatians 6:1).

Personally, if you think you are Spiritual in the first place, then you may have a humility problem to begin with. So approach the person as someone who is just as dirty as they, but someone who is willing to work to a closer relationship with God, together.

The core problem that I have witnessed is that when a “pastor” teaches on how to deal with sin in other people’s life, no one will examine that teaching or that teacher in light of Holy Scripture even though they claim to be teaching Scripture.

Scripture itself exhorts us to do so when it says, "dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1).

This is to those of you who have listened to and followed the teachings of false prophets such as the eversons. If now all of a sudden you find a different interpretation by another teacher or pastor, then you must still measure that against God’s Word. Allow God to be your teacher. Stop following the beliefs of the Baptists or the Catholics or the Methodists. Get one on one with God. He is the Great Teacher and He wants a relationship, not a visit from you on Sundays.

You have seen a fellow servant of the Lord sign his writings with, following God, not man. You too should do so. Blogs, commentaries, and teachings from solid Christians can all be good resources that might give you that author’s perspective, but there is nothing better than time in God’s Word and prayer and meditation on who God is and what He wants for you in this life.

Keep marching on Brothers and Sisters, the skies will reveal Him coming in all His Glory one day. All of the evil in the world will be overcome. My God is faithful to complete the work He has started in us.

Onward, Christians!

chad a everson on Being Questioned

2010-09-21T11:56:00.004-04:00

So is it right to question a preacher regarding his teachings? After all, these guys have the seminary degrees and even fake doctorates, but they have all this education. Who are we, the lowly sheep to question these men and women who have declared themselves authorities on the Bible and how to act like a Christian. Well I hate to break it to the “great noble” baptist conventions and those of you who blindly follow them, the veil was torn in two. We no longer need a Pharisee to read the Word to us.

Compare what the preachers teach to what the Bible says. Even Paul was not above having his teachings checked:

"Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true" (Acts 17:11).

Who could teach the Scriptures more reliably than Paul? Were the Bereans criticized for comparing his teachings to Scripture? No! On the contrary, they were commended for doing so. So why are those who question the teachings of some of the most popular preachers criticized?

Maybe this verse will help answer that question:

“For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

The myth is that the Gospel is only for some. Many Christians need to feel like they are part of an elite group that only some people can join. This is a lie and a false doctrine. Any way you slice it, “that dog won’t hunt,” as some like to say.

Those that just sit back and agree to disagree, because this is merely a philosophical difference, are sorely mistaken. You are allowing this false doctrine that has created so called “pastors” such as the eversons, to tear up the very fabric of what you truly believe in your hearts. These liars and false teachers are destroying people in the name of a Holy God and the sacrifice that He made for ALL.

Blessed is Jehovah my Rock, who teaches my hands for war, my fingers for battle (Psalms 144:1).

The TRUTH marches on.

chad a everson on False Teachers

2010-09-14T09:59:00.009-04:00

This charge I commit to you, my son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before about you, in order that you might war a good warfare by them, holding faith and a good conscience, which some have put away and made shipwreck as to faith. Among these are Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan so that they may learn not to blaspheme.
(1 Timothy 1:18-20)

Study earnestly to present yourself approved to God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth. But shun profane, vain babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their word will eat like a gangrene; among whom are Hymeneus and Philetus, who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and who overthrow the faith of some.
(2 Timothy 2:15-18)

Here Paul has mentioned false teachers by name. He does this so that not only can they be warned, but so that others can be warned of their false teachings as well. The men mentioned here, through their false teachings, have "shipwrecked" their faith. By their false teachings, they and those who follow them become more ungodly. In order that we may become more Godly, we must first stand against false teachers and their corrupt teachings.

How do you know who is a false teacher and who is not?

Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruits, nor can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you shall know them. Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.
(Matthew 7:15-21)

What is the will of God?

Master, which is the great commandment in the Law? Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
(Matthew 22:36-40)

But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly, and they themselves will be the cause of it. And a great number will go with them in their evil ways, through whom the true way will have a bad name. And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.

The justification for this site continues to get questioned, even though, now for a third time, a church has been crippled by the same ravenous wolf.

"The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron...If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed" (1 Timothy 4:1-2,6).

Just as you say the blog owner knows nothing about Trinity, you do not know me or any of the other people that post here.

I know this, you are right, there is nothing new to post, because this is just the same old story, a bunch of Pharisees being Pharisees, just different victims and a different place. The methods are the same. Bully, deny, and lie to cover their sin while condemning those that disagree and hold them accountable, the Calvinist way. If you people would actually stop and take a look at what kind of man you are following, you would realize that he is nothing but a bully that tries to be bigger than he is.

I expect each of you to seek God, stop listening to false prophets and wolves that have infiltrated your church. The Bible is clear that they exist, yet when they are called out, people like you, john, chad, michele, jeff, want to protect them instead of dealing with them. And yet, you want to call others out for their sin and call it tough love. Really?

I am doing what God called me to do. You think you know who I am, just pick up the phone and confront me or better yet, drop by. This site was set up to warn and protect churches like Trinity. I do not expect or care if you accept or understand me or anyone else who stands up for Truth and stands up to the evil that is in the world, such as false teachers in our pulpits. God is able and He still uses people today to fight His battles just as He always has.

Now, john, you can continue to offer up your attitude of hate and sarcasm, or you can seek God and you will find that following this false teacher and his doctrine of hate and tyranny is not God’s will for your life or anyone else.

For those that need reminding, since this is exactly what is going down at Trinity. Remember, he pulled the same stunts at his two previous churches.

Keep watching him destroy your church Deacons. Stand up and do what no other deacon board has done where he has been a "pastor," protect the flock that God has put under your care. Otherwise you are as much a Pharisee as he is.

REPOSTED From November 2009

The Background

Chad Everson came to Madison Street Baptist Church around Easter of 2004. The Personnel Committee had been given referrals by men such as John Sullivan, Herb Revis, and Rick Coram, men who MSBC had given place to on many occasions. Unfortunately, hearing the testimony of these men had really been the only research done concerning the past of this man who also allegedly held a doctorate degree from a reputable seminary. Now we know this was fraudulent as well.

Chad brought on Jeff Summers within a year. Jeff was supposedly a visionary children’s pastor who had been with him in Georgia. Our church started an Upward Soccer ministry and brought a great many families out to enjoy the sport and to hear the Gospel. Unfortunately, this ministry also gave Chad an outlet for his very competitive attitude and arrogant behavior. Many people experienced this through interactions with Chad and Jeff. These two were responsible for dozens of families, due to those experiences, who refused to visit or continue to attend MSBC.

Blindly over the first couple of years, many of us sat there and watched dozens of families leave the church. Later we found, that we were lied to as to why some left when we asked about them. We expected some turnover, but what we didn’t know, was the truth of why these people were leaving. Some left due to the way Chad and Jarrod were spending money with no accountability. Some left because of an interaction they had with Chad and then heard about it from the pulpit. Several were told if you don’t like it, then leave. Many of them should have said something about the arrogance, the unilateral financial decisions, and the mean-spirited attitudes. They would simply leave and say that God was calling them elsewhere. That may have been true; however, this merely left many there that would inevitably come to doubt their own relationships with Christ because of the arrogance and deceptive actions from leadership. Many began to get a sense that something was wrong but focused the doubt on their own selves instead of on leadership. It simply caused great confusion among the congregation.

For three years, many toiled with their shoulders to the wheel really not paying attention to what was going on behind the scenes as we thought God’s work was still being done despite the doubt and confusion running rampant throughout the church. All along, under the guise of deception, Chad had gained total control of the church through the by-laws, through the teaching of Calvinism in the kindler’s group, and through Jarrod’s choices of Sunday school curriculum, which in most cases was not much more than quotes from some of the most extreme hyper-Calvinists. The kindler’s group was a group of men that met with Chad and Jarrod once a week for what was supposed to be a deeper study in God’s Word. It apparently turned in to a lesson on Calvinism and in my opinion, a way for Chad to slowly push his false doctrine and ultimate authority. Also, unknown by many was that Jeff Stockdale, the youth pastor, was teaching Calvinism secretively as well.

The Demise

The new Family Life Center opened in 2006, and from day one it was a fiasco. During the first service, it took almost two hours for families to check their children in to the nursery. Chad had invited a few folks from the church’s past including prior pastors, to the ceremony and then “forgot” to acknowledge them or to utilize them to pray or speak. In my opinion, this simply further reflects his arrogant attitude. The rules established for the use of the facilities were built around convenience for Chad, Jarrod, and their clicks. The rules almost made it impossible to use the facilities for families to work out together. For example, men and women working out together was prohibited. If you complained or offered suggestions, you were accused of being negative and not being loyal to leadership. You were accused of and talked about having a bad attitude supposedly due to not getting your way. You were labeled a troublemaker and a target was placed on you as one to watch and keep in check.

In February of 2007, a certain young deacon, Andy, had come to the conclusion that he was going to have to divorce his wife. He submitted in writing to Chad his resignation as a deacon and a member of MSBC. That resignation started a war behind the scenes that only a select few were aware of. As this is going on, around May of that year, there were several members of MSBC that received a letter allegedly from Jarrod’s previous church, stating that he had been caught viewing pornography on several church computers and pointed people to a website that told the story.

So, Chad decides to address these two things from the pulpit. He announces one week that a crazy guy at his dad’s church is out to get Jarrod and is spreading viscous lies about his family and that is what the letters were about. He also decided to bring Andy’s name before the church to let us know that he was under church discipline because he had abandoned his wife, some three months after he had resigned and moved his letter to another church. These announcements from the pulpit went over the majority of people’s heads and were disregarded by most. However, it caused some to further research and dig into the pasts of these men.

It was discovered that there had been a large sum of money allegedly stolen from Chad’s church, Day Spring Baptist, in Byron, GA, now Shady Grove Baptist Church. Chad was the pastor at the time of the alleged theft and had been advised to report the person responsible for the stolen money, however, as of this writing, to my knowledge, it has still not been reported to the proper authorities. It was also found to be true that Jarrod had in fact been caught viewing pornography on church computers at Pray’s Mill Baptist Church. Chad allegedly knew about it and had not informed our Deacon Board. Once it was truly fleshed out, it was apparent that there was great inconsistency with how Jarrod’s issue had been dealt with and how Mike and Chad Everson dealt with others and their issues within their churches. These men wanted to throw others out of the church; however, they forgot the story about the plank and the speck from the Bible.

It was known among a few of the deacons that in September of 2007, Chad was going to once again bring up Andy’s name to remove him from the church role. Thirty-five or so men met with Andy days before this was done. He sat and poured out his heart as he accounted the story of how he had been treated by Chad and others he thought were friends, and how he had been lied about and pursued by Chad and his followers, especially Adam who was supposed to be a really good friend of Andy. Many of these men were hearing the story for the first time. This young man had literally been through hell over the last year. When asked why Chad was pursuing him as such, he simply responded that he did not know. He said that Chad would not accept his resignation, and that he had to repent to Chad and take his wife back in order to make it right in Chad’s eyes.

The Christian Law Association was contacted by one of the trustees and was told that we as a church had no standing in this man’s life anymore. He had resigned. When the lawyer was told that the pastor would not accept his resignation, his response was, “So what, no matter, he is no longer a member. This pastor is setting your church up for a law suit.”

The Confrontation

Ironically, many in the church did not know but Andy had already moved his membership to another church. Even though Chad knew this, one Sunday night towards the end of August, Chad was warned by, Mark, the Chairman of the Deacons, in front of another deacon that if he went though with throwing this man out of the church, that he was going to cause people to leave. Chad responded, “I don’t care if two or two hundred leave, I’m doing this.” Well that fateful Sunday night came, September 2, 2007 was set for the ousting of Andy. A deacon’s meeting was held prior to the service that night.

I am not sure why Adam was there because he was not an active deacon at the time, but he was, other than that it was the active deacons and Chad. Chad got some resistance from several of the deacons. Two got mad enough during the meeting to leave before it ended. Once the meeting was over, the service started. It was very evident that Chad was shaken that night as he stumbled through his sermon and cut it short as he was done in a record thirty minutes or so when his sermons would typically run an hour or better.

He finished his sermon and began the announcements. Just before he closed, he stated that he had met with the deacons and based on a “unanimous decision”, which was a lie, that they were going to remove Andy from the role because he had been under church discipline for abandoning his wife and that we should as a church pray for him and reach out to him with the Gospel. Billy tried to ask a question and was not allowed to speak. Chad interrupted him and closed in prayer.

The melee ensued from there. Billy met Chad at the front, got in Chad’s face, and said something, but Chad walked away. Billy yelled, “There you go, that’s what you get, he doesn’t want to talk about it.” Several men including Jeff Stockdale and Jeff Summers, the children’s pastor, grabbed Billy at that point, but he pulled away and left the building. Chad had several more face to face encounters with others questioning his motives for his actions before he could escape the sanctuary that night.

As Billy and his wife were exiting the building, Jeff Summers and Jeff Stockdale physically put their hands on them and whirled them around. This led to Billy and several other men having a very heated exchange with Jeff Summers and Jeff Stockdale right outside the front door of the church that night. As the confrontation was ending, both Jeff’s were asked if either of them had talked with Andy, both answered, “No.” Stockdale made the remark, “He didn’t even know Andy and that there is a lot going on that you don’t know about.” Several of the men responded with, “Then let’s get it out in the open.” Jeff Summers just kept screaming, “You’re crazy!” He finally walked off claiming that Andy had cussed his wife like a sailor.

The Follow Up

The next day, the Florida Baptist Convention was lobbied for assistance. Robert Mounts and John Sullivan received a fax asking for assistance, signed by a dozen or so MSBC deacons, Sunday school teachers, and trustees. It was rumored as the week rocked on that during the Wednesday night service, Chad was going to get it all out in the open and allow for questions to be asked. Well what happened was a staged Emmy winning performance. He cried and claimed that his wife was on chemo. He never addressed the issues; he just cried and carried on like he was the victim and people were just out to get him. He then allowed several men to speak. However they were all just Chad followers. The truth about the doug pittman site was never revealed. He never addressed him covering up Jarrod’s porn viewing from the church before bringing him on board. He didn’t even address the situation of the stolen money that he had covered up at Day Spring.

He paraded a bunch of men on to the stage with him that sat behind him as a show of support. Most of these men didn’t even have a clue what was going on. Only those that praised Chad and vowed their support to him were allowed to speak including Charles Warren who many of us thought was truly a man of God. Chad received several standing ovations during his performance by a majority of the church. Again, most of the crowd that was there had no idea what had happened the previous Sunday night or about any of the details surrounding these issues. The previous Sunday had been Labor Day Weekend so the attendance had been very low. I think this performance was his attempt at a confidence vote.

After that Wednesday night, many families left MSBC. Chad may have been prophetic after all in that two hundred may have very well been the number of people that left in the first wave. The following Friday, the response from John Sullivan was that he had contacted Chad and was told everything was ok. Chad’s arrogance, false accusations, and bashing of “those people” continues to this day.

More and more people left during 2008. Jeff Carter, a youth pastor brought in by Chad, was arrested on lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor in November of 2008. The details of how Chad and Jeff Summers dealt with the fallout from Carter being caught is just now coming out, but believe me, they were both real jerks to that family about that situation long before the police got involved. They both knew about it back in the Summer of 2008; Carter was arrested in November. This family is still in turmoil over how Chad and Jeff treated them and handled the situation. Chad had mentioned from the pulpit that he had a staff member at a previous church that had been accused of raping a girl, and that he had gotten to the bottom of it. Allegedly, she later admitted after being counseled by Chad that she had lied about the incident. Jeff Carter did serve with Chad at Day Spring Baptist Church. Makes you wonder why Chad even brought him to MSBC in the first place. Carter was recently sentenced to 5 years of probation with sex offender conditions, but stay tuned, because that issue may not be over.

In January of 2009, as most people now know, Chad finally resigned only after receiving the call to Trinity Baptist Church in Southaven, MS. His reasoning was that the Starke community was just too evil and his ministry could no longer be effective. Here I thought Christians, and especially pastors, were called to be lights in dark places. I guess they don’t have to practice what they preach. Several of “those people” that had left MSBC were contacted by members of Trinity, but unfortunately, none of the leadership at Trinity took heed.

Chad is apparently doing the same thing at Trinity that he has done at his two previous churches. In my opinion, he is a destructive force that is tearing up churches in the name of doctrine and his own agenda. May God have mercy on him and his followers when they stand before Him.

Get ready, the confidence vote is coming. Stand firm.

This will not be done as a normal vote, the show is put on and the standing ovations will be the measure.

Be ready to confront this head on. Just sitting back and watching this continue will do more damage than dealing with it.

Follow God, Trinity. Listen to what God is telling you. It may not be popular, but do His will.

2010-08-09T12:18:00.005-04:00

An attempt was made this morning to post a comment asking for "a list of the names of the people on the various groups and committees that are considered to be relevant to matters being discussed on this blog, so that we can talk to those people with whom we feel comfortable about all the issues being brought up."

Nice try, but that will not get posted here. This is simply a last ditch effort for a pre-emptive strike on those that actually might make a stand against this evil.

Trinity, stand up and fight for the True and living God, do what you must to keep this from happening elsewhere, be bolder than the leadership was at the last two churches. Your efforts are working. It amazes me that it took 8 years in Byron, 4 years in Starke, but the destruction has taken less than 2 with you. His ego and arrogance is growing. Let the show begin.

chad a everson on Leadership

2010-07-28T07:55:00.002-04:00

Leadership, in the Biblical sense, is about leading like Jesus did, right?

Jesus clearly stated that “the first shall be last,” and “the least among you shall be the greatest.”

When you call a pastor, be sure that his heart is not full of arrogance. Talk to those whom he has served with to ensure that the fruits of the Spirit have been displayed in his life. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are the fruits that should be very prevalent. If not, be careful, because he may not have a relationship with the Lord. There are few, truly, God called pastors today. The wolf can slip into your church just as easily from the pulpit as he can from the pew.

Jesus said to teach in truth and love. Truth is important, but if there is no love, the truth is not in him. Without truth, the law, there is lawlessness, but Jesus said love is the most important aspect of the Christian life. When love is revealed in one’s life, truth is second nature. It is not required to be forced on those that have the love of Christ flowing out of them. If a pastor shows love, then he can accomplish much, but if a spirit of arrogance and strife is all you see, then rebuke him. If he does not repent and change his ways, then show him the door.

How much longer, oh Lord, will you allow the wolf to ravage your flock? Trinity, you are in the prayers of many Brothers and Sister across this country. May God bless you beyond measure.

2010-07-22T16:03:00.005-04:00

He could very well be on the prowl, watch out! Do not let destruction just move from one church to another. Do your homework on prospective pastors. Some of these guys are wolves in sheep's clothing. Their calling is not of God. They seek out weak minded people to support their blasphemous cause.

Just do your research, Pastor Search Committees. Make these guys actually interview for their positions and hold them accountable when you do call them. Call their previous church and get the real story on why they left. A little bit of homework goes a long way in preventing the kind of destruction that this guy and his crew have been able to spread.

Stand firm on God's word and seek Him out, He will reveal His will to those who want to see it.

chad a everson on being Biblical

2010-07-08T12:25:00.002-04:00

Since this blog is once again being attacked for not being Biblical, let's do this the right way.

The sinner still refuses to repent and turn from his wicked ways.

chad has been rebuked privately and publicly and members of the body are to withhold intimate fellowship through the process and procedure of group disapproval and social ostracism. Clearly, the offender knows that his action has dishonored the Lord and has caused a rupture in the harmony of the body. The goal has always been restoration.

2 Thess. 3:6, 14-15
6) But we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us.
14) But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note of him and do not associate closely with him, so that he may be ashamed.
15) Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

Unfortunately, here we are at the final stage.

“If there is still no response in repentance and obedience, the church is to apply the procedures of excommunication as directed in Matthew 18:17 (If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If he refuses to listen to the church, treat him like a Gentile or a tax collector.)”

Fellow Brothers & Sisters, my prayer is that you will reach out to this man and his family with the Gospel.

The “reverend” chad a everson on Church Discipline

2010-05-28T23:02:00.003-04:00

On May 16, chad preached again on the discipline of a young man he tried to destroy at Madison Street Baptist Church. Folks, it has been three years and people ask why this site is still up and why haven’t people moved on.

This boy just doesn’t get it does he? People’s lives are not his to control. You deacons at Trinity just continue to sit there watching, just as those in Starke and Byron did, even knowing that you have had very negative interactions with chad, and even have talked them over with people, but you still sit idly by and watch him attack the church of the Living God. You are as guilty as he is for the people and families he has hurt.

Well, to set the record straight again, below is the truth as a response to this little rant of his on May 16. You know, lies are about all you ever get from this bunch of hypocrites, so nothing new here, just the same old thieves and liars from old.

REPOSTED From November 2009

The Background

Chad Everson came to Madison Street Baptist Church around Easter of 2004. The Personnel Committee had been given referrals by men such as John Sullivan, Herb Revis, and Rick Coram, men who MSBC had given place to on many occasions. Unfortunately, hearing the testimony of these men had really been the only research done concerning the past of this man who also allegedly held a doctorate degree from a reputable seminary. Now we know this was fraudulent as well.

Chad brought on Jeff Summers within a year. Jeff was supposedly a visionary children’s pastor who had been with him in Georgia. Our church started an Upward Soccer ministry and brought a great many families out to enjoy the sport and to hear the Gospel. Unfortunately, this ministry also gave Chad an outlet for his very competitive attitude and arrogant behavior. Many people experienced this through interactions with Chad and Jeff. These two were responsible for dozens of families, due to those experiences, who refused to visit or continue to attend MSBC.

Blindly over the first couple of years, many of us sat there and watched dozens of families leave the church. Later we found, that we were lied to as to why some left when we asked about them. We expected some turnover, but what we didn’t know, was the truth of why these people were leaving. Some left due to the way Chad and Jarrod were spending money with no accountability. Some left because of an interaction they had with Chad and then heard about it from the pulpit. Several were told if you don’t like it, then leave. Many of them should have said something about the arrogance, the unilateral financial decisions, and the mean-spirited attitudes. They would simply leave and say that God was calling them elsewhere. That may have been true; however, this merely left many there that would inevitably come to doubt their own relationships with Christ because of the arrogance and deceptive actions from leadership. Many began to get a sense that something was wrong but focused the doubt on their own selves instead of on leadership. It simply caused great confusion among the congregation.

For three years, many toiled with their shoulders to the wheel really not paying attention to what was going on behind the scenes as we thought God’s work was still being done despite the doubt and confusion running rampant throughout the church. All along, under the guise of deception, Chad had gained total control of the church through the by-laws, through the teaching of Calvinism in the kindler’s group, and through Jarrod’s choices of Sunday school curriculum, which in most cases was not much more than quotes from some of the most extreme hyper-Calvinists. The kindler’s group was a group of men that met with Chad and Jarrod once a week for what was supposed to be a deeper study in God’s Word. It apparently turned in to a lesson on Calvinism and in my opinion, a way for Chad to slowly push his false doctrine and ultimate authority. Also, unknown by many was that Jeff Stockdale, the youth pastor, was teaching Calvinism secretively as well.

The Demise

The new Family Life Center opened in 2006, and from day one it was a fiasco. During the first service, it took almost two hours for families to check their children in to the nursery. Chad had invited a few folks from the church’s past including prior pastors, to the ceremony and then “forgot” to acknowledge them or to utilize them to pray or speak. In my opinion, this simply further reflects his arrogant attitude. The rules established for the use of the facilities were built around convenience for Chad, Jarrod, and their clicks. The rules almost made it impossible to use the facilities for families to work out together. For example, men and women working out together was prohibited. If you complained or offered suggestions, you were accused of being negative and not being loyal to leadership. You were accused of and talked about having a bad attitude supposedly due to not getting your way. You were labeled a troublemaker and a target was placed on you as one to watch and keep in check.

In February of 2007, a certain young deacon, Andy, had come to the conclusion that he was going to have to divorce his wife. He submitted in writing to Chad his resignation as a deacon and a member of MSBC. That resignation started a war behind the scenes that only a select few were aware of. As this is going on, around May of that year, there were several members of MSBC that received a letter allegedly from Jarrod’s previous church, stating that he had been caught viewing pornography on several church computers and pointed people to a website that told the story.

So, Chad decides to address these two things from the pulpit. He announces one week that a crazy guy at his dad’s church is out to get Jarrod and is spreading viscous lies about his family and that is what the letters were about. He also decided to bring Andy’s name before the church to let us know that he was under church discipline because he had abandoned his wife, some three months after he had resigned and moved his letter to another church. These announcements from the pulpit went over the majority of people’s heads and were disregarded by most. However, it caused some to further research and dig into the pasts of these men.

It was discovered that there had been a large sum of money allegedly stolen from Chad’s church, Day Spring Baptist, in Byron, GA, now Shady Grove Baptist Church. Chad was the pastor at the time of the alleged theft and had been advised to report the person responsible for the stolen money, however, as of this writing, to my knowledge, it has still not been reported to the proper authorities. It was also found to be true that Jarrod had in fact been caught viewing pornography on church computers at Pray’s Mill Baptist Church. Chad allegedly knew about it and had not informed our Deacon Board. Once it was truly fleshed out, it was apparent that there was great inconsistency with how Jarrod’s issue had been dealt with and how Mike and Chad Everson dealt with others and their issues within their churches. These men wanted to throw others out of the church; however, they forgot the story about the plank and the speck from the Bible.

It was known among a few of the deacons that in September of 2007, Chad was going to once again bring up Andy’s name to remove him from the church role. Thirty-five or so men met with Andy days before this was done. He sat and poured out his heart as he accounted the story of how he had been treated by Chad and others he thought were friends, and how he had been lied about and pursued by Chad and his followers, especially Adam who was supposed to be a really good friend of Andy. Many of these men were hearing the story for the first time. This young man had literally been through hell over the last year. When asked why Chad was pursuing him as such, he simply responded that he did not know. He said that Chad would not accept his resignation, and that he had to repent to Chad and take his wife back in order to make it right in Chad’s eyes.

The Christian Law Association was contacted by one of the trustees and was told that we as a church had no standing in this man’s life anymore. He had resigned. When the lawyer was told that the pastor would not accept his resignation, his response was, “So what, no matter, he is no longer a member. This pastor is setting your church up for a law suit.”

The Confrontation

Ironically, many in the church did not know but Andy had already moved his membership to another church. Even though Chad knew this, one Sunday night towards the end of August, Chad was warned by, Mark, the Chairman of the Deacons, in front of another deacon that if he went though with throwing this man out of the church, that he was going to cause people to leave. Chad responded, “I don’t care if two or two hundred leave, I’m doing this.” Well that fateful Sunday night came, September 2, 2007 was set for the ousting of Andy. A deacon’s meeting was held prior to the service that night.

I am not sure why Adam was there because he was not an active deacon at the time, but he was, other than that it was the active deacons and Chad. Chad got some resistance from several of the deacons. Two got mad enough during the meeting to leave before it ended. Once the meeting was over, the service started. It was very evident that Chad was shaken that night as he stumbled through his sermon and cut it short as he was done in a record thirty minutes or so when his sermons would typically run an hour or better.

He finished his sermon and began the announcements. Just before he closed, he stated that he had met with the deacons and based on a “unanimous decision”, which was a lie, that they were going to remove Andy from the role because he had been under church discipline for abandoning his wife and that we should as a church pray for him and reach out to him with the Gospel. Billy tried to ask a question and was not allowed to speak. Chad interrupted him and closed in prayer.

The melee ensued from there. Billy met Chad at the front, got in Chad’s face, and said something, but Chad walked away. Billy yelled, “There you go, that’s what you get, he doesn’t want to talk about it.” Several men including Jeff Stockdale and Jeff Summers, the children’s pastor, grabbed Billy at that point, but he pulled away and left the building. Chad had several more face to face encounters with others questioning his motives for his actions before he could escape the sanctuary that night.

This led to Billy and several other men having a very heated exchange with Jeff Summers and Jeff Stockdale right outside the front door of the church that night. As the confrontation was ending, both Jeff’s were asked if either of them had talked with Andy, both answered, “No.” Stockdale made the remark, “He didn’t even know Andy and that there is a lot going on that you don’t know about.” Several of the men responded with, “Then let’s get it out in the open.” Jeff Summers just kept screaming, “You’re crazy!” He finally walked off claiming that Andy had cussed his wife like a sailor.

I am not sure why Adam was there because he was not an active deacon at the time, but he was, other than that it was the active deacons and Chad. Chad got some resistance from several of the deacons. Two got mad enough during the meeting to leave before it ended. Once the meeting was over, the service started. It was very evident that Chad was shaken that night as he stumbled through his sermon and cut it short as he was done in a record thirty minutes or so when his sermons would typically run an hour or better.

He finished his sermon and began the announcements. Just before he closed, he stated that he had met with the deacons and based on a “unanimous decision”, which was a lie, that they were going to remove Andy from the role because he had been under church discipline for abandoning his wife and that we should as a church pray for him and reach out to him with the Gospel. Billy tried to ask a question and was not allowed to speak. Chad interrupted him and closed in prayer.

The melee ensued from there. Billy met Chad at the front, got in Chad’s face, and said something, but Chad walked away. Billy yelled, “There you go, that’s what you get, he doesn’t want to talk about it.” Several men including Jeff Stockdale and Jeff Summers, the children’s pastor, grabbed Billy at that point, but he pulled away and left the building. Chad had several more face to face encounters with others questioning his motives for his actions before he could escape the sanctuary that night.

As Billy and his wife were exiting the building, Jeff Summers and Jeff Stockdale physically put their hands on them and whirled them around. This led to Billy and several other men having a very heated exchange with Jeff Summers and Jeff Stockdale right outside the front door of the church that night. As the confrontation was ending, both Jeff’s were asked if either of them had talked with Andy, both answered, “No.” Stockdale made the remark, “He didn’t even know Andy and that there is a lot going on that you don’t know about.” Several of the men responded with, “Then let’s get it out in the open.” Jeff Summers just kept screaming, “You’re crazy!” He finally walked off claiming that Andy had cussed his wife like a sailor.

The Follow Up

The next day, the Florida Baptist Convention was lobbied for assistance. Robert Mounts and John Sullivan received a fax asking for assistance, signed by a dozen or so MSBC deacons, Sunday school teachers, and trustees. It was rumored as the week rocked on that during the Wednesday night service, Chad was going to get it all out in the open and allow for questions to be asked. Well what happened was a staged Emmy winning performance. He cried and claimed that his wife was on chemo. He never addressed the issues; he just cried and carried on like he was the victim and people were just out to get him. He then allowed several men to speak. However they were all just Chad followers. The truth about the doug pittman site was never revealed. He never addressed him covering up Jarrod’s porn viewing from the church before bringing him on board. He didn’t even address the situation of the stolen money that he had covered up at Day Spring.

He paraded a bunch of men on to the stage with him that sat behind him as a show of support. Most of these men didn’t even have a clue what was going on. Only those that praised Chad and vowed their support to him were allowed to speak including Charles Warren who many of us thought was truly a man of God. Chad received several standing ovations during his performance by a majority of the church. Again, most of the crowd that was there had no idea what had happened the previous Sunday night or about any of the details surrounding these issues. The previous Sunday had been Labor Day Weekend so the attendance had been very low. I think this performance was his attempt at a confidence vote.

After that Wednesday night, many families left MSBC. Chad may have been prophetic after all in that two hundred may have very well been the number of people that left in the first wave. The following Friday, the response from John Sullivan was that he had contacted Chad and was told everything was ok. Chad’s arrogance, false accusations, and bashing of “those people” continues to this day.

More and more people left during 2008. Jeff Carter, a youth pastor brought in by Chad, was arrested on lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor in November of 2008. The details of how Chad and Jeff Summers dealt with the fallout from Carter being caught is just now coming out, but believe me, they were both real jerks to that family about that situation long before the police got involved. They both knew about it back in the Summer of 2008; Carter was arrested in November. This family is still in turmoil over how Chad and Jeff treated them and handled the situation. Chad had mentioned from the pulpit that he had a staff member at a previous church that had been accused of raping a girl, and that he had gotten to the bottom of it. Allegedly, she later admitted after being counseled by Chad that she had lied about the incident. Jeff Carter did serve with Chad at Day Spring Baptist Church. Makes you wonder why Chad even brought him to MSBC in the first place. Carter was recently sentenced to 5 years of probation with sex offender conditions, but stay tuned, because that issue may not be over.

In January of 2009, as most people now know, Chad finally resigned only after receiving the call to Trinity Baptist Church in Southaven, MS. His reasoning was that the Starke community was just too evil and his ministry could no longer be effective. Here I thought Christians, and especially pastors, were called to be lights in dark places. I guess they don’t have to practice what they preach. Several of “those people” that had left MSBC were contacted by members of Trinity, but unfortunately, none of the leadership at Trinity took heed.

Chad is apparently doing the same thing at Trinity that he has done at his two previous churches. In my opinion, he is a destructive force that is tearing up churches in the name of doctrine and his own agenda. May God have mercy on him and his followers when they stand before Him.

UPDATE

These men can no longer cover up for jeff carter. StopBaptistPredators.org has also updated their records on the sentencing that the local media outlets refused to report.

The devastation that these men caused at Day Spring Baptist Church in Byron, GA and Madison Street Baptist Church in Starke, FL can still be felt in those communities. These men have been exposed. From covering up theft to covering up child abuse, these so called "pastors" are not interested in TRUTH.

Do not stand by and let their reign of fear continue. They have been confronted and exposed. They continue in their wicked ways in the name of a Holy God.

Church, pray for their salvation, but beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

Is there a Doctor in the house?

2009-10-16T12:00:00.000-04:00

The following post is from a current member at Trinity Baptist in Southaven.

My dearest fellow Trinity members,

I am going to write to you because there are some things I feel you should know. Some of this you may know and some you may not, but I think this information may make some of the things we are seeing make more sense. I am not going to print opinions, unreliable information, or hearsay; I only want to give you the facts, although I will give you some of the conclusions I have drawn at the end. The following information comes straight from Chad Everson’s resume, and you can verify by following the links included at the end of this post.

Chad does not have a legitimate doctorate degree, nor is his master’s degree from a notable, accredited institution. As we all know, Chad does not have a problem talking about his time at Mid-America Seminary. It gives him credibility because MABTS is well regarded, especially in our area, because it is so close. He threw it around quite a bit when he came in view of a call because Dr. Mahony was there. He did not graduate from MABTS, though. He finished his “education” at Andersonville Baptist Seminary.

Why is this important? A Master’s of Divinity (the traditional program for those who want to pastor) at MABTS requires 88 semester hours, which is 30 classes and generally takes 3 years or longer to complete. The Master’s of Theology degree from Andersonville only requires 30 semester hours, which is only 10 classes and, according to Andersonville’s website, can be completed in as little as 12 months. What does that mean? It means that our pastor has less education than most of the rest of our staff, and I use “most” only because I don’t know Jon Rushing’s educational background. The major Southern Baptist seminaries don’t even recognize degrees or coursework from Andersonville.

The “Doctor of Ministry” degree from Lake Charles Bible College is no better: mail in a few hundred dollars, read and complete 5 workbooks, and anyone can have this degree. It is basically a diploma mill. What does MABTS require to receive a doctorate? A Master’s from an accredited institution with no lower than a “B” average, 2 years of ministry experience, and 32 doctoral level hours, including a major ministry project, seminars, and a final major exam. It also takes generally THREE YEARS to complete this program. Even the application process is difficult – it takes the doctoral committee 60 days to review applications to the program, whereas Lake Charles’ website states that you “can even start the day you apply.” Getting a real doctorate is NOT easy – talk to anyone who has done it or attempted it. It is so intense, many pastors have to take a sabbatical from their churches to finish it, and I have even met some ministers who have nearly lost their families due to the time consuming nature of the program. Calling yourself a doctor of anything with a “degree” like Chad’s this is a true slap in the face to anyone who actually put in the time and effort to really earn theirs. Would you let your open heart surgery be performed by a doctor who bought their doctor’s degree and put in little time or effort? I didn’t think so; neither would I. Why do we expect any less from one who we trust with our church’s spiritual health?

For those of you who were here when Bro. Jim was presented in view of a call 20 years ago: Do you remember the big stink created about his doctorate obtained through Luther Rice Seminary? Do you remember Dr. Skinner being so upset by the lack of requirements needed to graduate from LRS? This is so much worse. At least LRS requires that you actually do real work, even if it is by correspondence.

Lake Charles Bible College Doctor of Ministry: http://www.lakecharlesbiblecollege.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=34:doctorofministry&catid=14:doctors&Itemid=9

My conclusions:

Why is this relevant? Why does this bother me, and why should it bother you? Because we have a pastor who is passing himself off as something he is not. THAT is a fundamental problem with anyone, but this is inexcusable for a pastor. Transparency of a pastor should not be optional! How can a pastor expect to build relationships with his church if he isn’t real? He never said that he did graduate from Mid-America, but he conveniently leaves out where he did finish. You can check this for yourself. Check out his personally posted profiles at http://bigsight.org/chad_everson , https://www.xing.com/profile/Chad_Everson , http://www.ziki.com/en/chad-everson+132964 , http://www.linkedin.com/in/chadaeverson , and so on.

If he is so proud of his time at Mid-America and lists it under “education”, why purposefully leave out Andersonville and Lake Charles? Because Chad knows that other pastors know the reputation of those “institutions,” and it will defeat the purpose. Why else would someone want to obtain a doctorate and not tell everyone where it came from? It is interesting that the very thing he has used to try give himself credibility, in my opinion, has discredited him in the deceptive way he has gone about it. And, while we’re at it, am I the only one who has a problem with a pastor promoting himself on these professional sites? What is the purpose? Shouldn’t promoting the cause of Christ be more important than promoting ourselves?

And why is it okay to take the “short route” with your “education?” Just to call yourself a doctor? Just to have the prestige and recognition? When does a pastor, above anyone, need to promote himself? Isn’t it his job to promote the Lord Jesus, not himself? Aren’t you only cheating yourself out of a proper education just to get a few letters to tack onto the beginning of your name? Aren’t you cheating your churches out of the knowledge and insight you would have gained by obtaining a real degree? And if a pastor is willing to take the “short route” to a degree, in what else is he willing to take a short cut?

I love you, Trinity! Remember to be like Peter. Keep your eyes fixed on Christ and not the crashing waves around you, and by all means, don’t sink!!

chad everson on comments to Minister Watch

2009-10-12T06:00:00.002-04:00

Below is a response to a comment received early this morning. It needs to be published, but not without a rebuttal to the one who wrote it.

Anon writes:
Regarding Sept. 18, 2009 blog:
You wrote, "Trinity, you are in direct violation of Matt. 18 by allowing him (Br. Chad)to continue his destructive ways....
So,
1) If you are a Trinity member, you need to step forward and say so
2) If you are NOT a Trinity member, you sir/maam need to tend to your own church/pastor and stop trying to plant an "evil seed" in the minds/hearts of the Trinity people. This is NOT of God, which would mean it could only be of the devil. We, the Trinity people, will determine what our pastor says/does, not you.

You need to evaluate your own condition and do not concern yourself with me or my intentions. I personally, am following God just as you claim you are. This site, nor I, or any other person has planted an evil seed at Trinity, merely revealed TRUTH. Your own members are crying out, and your lack of compassion for your Brothers and Sisters is ringing loud and clear.

Anon writes:
You also wrote, "Clearly, the offender know that his action has dishonored the Lord and has caused a rupture in the harmony of the body"...Well, you sir/maam are the "rupture" in the harmony of the body (Trinity body).

I have done nothing to Trinity. Your own leadership brought this man to you. They were warned about his destructive ways. Why are you so self centered? This is not only about Trinity. Do you think Trinity’s Christians are the only ones that make up the Body of Christ? The body of Christ consists of Christians of all different denominations the world over. The rupture in the Body started with him attacking the Christians in Byron and the families of Madison Street Baptist that he tried to destroy.

Anon writes:
Why should I/we believe you, someone we've NEVER MET. We don't know you. Identify yourself so we can check your background. If Br. Chad is guilty of what you say, God will punish him. We/you are not his judge...GOD IS!

I do not care if you believe me, my identity is the face of those that lay in the wake of the destructive forces of these men, the individuals they have attacked and maligned, and those that have been slandered in the name of church discipline. There is no doubt, chad is clearly guilty of being a destructive force to the Body of Christ. The TRUTH hurts, doesn’t it, and you are right, God will judge him, just as God will judge me. God also says that they will know you are my disciples because you love one another. How much love do you regularly see out of your “pastor?”

Anon writes:
And please give us, the Trinity people, a little credit. I think we are capable of knowing, at some point, whether or not Br. Chad is pulling the wool over our eyes. So let your accusations rest. You have made your point. You have planted the "evil seed" against a man of God to his church. If you continue to publicly criticize and demonize our pastor, GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL. And to my Trinity family, may God forgive those of you who "automatically" believe this without doing your research and then speaking to your pastor about it.

The Trinity people have all the credit they need or want. No one has come to your church and challenged you or him. You have been warned about his ways. Your leaders were given explicit examples of his behavior before they presented him to your church for a vote. You voted him in with an 83% vote. He is your problem, but to know to do good and not do it is just as much a sin as doing what you know is wrong. The ball has been in your court, Trinity, since January. How many lives have been negatively impacted by this man and his crew? The lies and slander still continue today in Byron and Starke by his followers. This is a fight and a heartache that the people of the Southaven community will battle for years to come, even after you are gone.

People of Trinity and other places where this man is preaching or may preach, please do your research as has been suggested. Contact those at the other churches he has been at. Please go and speak to him, question his motives, make him clarify his stance on things he has done in the past. You will soon see the real person behind the mask of doctrine and authoritarianism.

2009-09-28T06:00:00.006-04:00

UPDATE

jeff carter has finally been sentenced. For what, you might ask? Well, chad told Madison Street Baptist Church that it was because he was "not living above reproach". chad said carter had done nothing criminal. Yet chad knew in July 2008 exactly what the police found out in November 2008 when they arrested carter, see here and here. Well apparently a judge and state attorney thought it was criminal.

The judgment against carter dated September 15, 2009 states that he “entered a plea of nolo contendere” and “that the defendant is hereby ADJUDICATED GUILTY of the crime Aggravated Assault With Intent To Commit A Felony – Statute Number 784.021 1b.”

It also states, “Now, therefore, it is ordered and adjudged that imposition of sentence is hereby withheld and that you be placed on Probation for a period of Five (5) years with sex offender conditions under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, subject to Florida law.”

chad everson, jarrod everson, and jeff summers knew what carter did long before he was arrested for it; however they continually told the victim’s mother that she must forgive because carter had repented. She was terrified he would victimize another young girl and felt that more had to be done, but chad and his crew steadfastly refused to do anything. chad had stated from the pulpit at Madison Street that he had a previous staff member that had been accused of inappropriate conduct with a child. carter was a previous staff member prior to Madison Street and so was summers.

Trinity, you are in direct violation of Matthew 18 by allowing him to continue his destructive ways in the name of a Holy God. You are providing him the means to destroy more lives.

chad has been rebuked privately and publicly and members of the body are to withhold intimate fellowship through the process and procedure of group disapproval and social ostracism. Clearly, the offender knows that his action has dishonored the Lord and has caused a rupture in the harmony of the body. The goal has always been restoration.

2 Thess. 3:6, 14-15
6) But we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us.
14) But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note of him and do not associate closely with him, so that he may be ashamed.
15) Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

Unfortunately, here we are at the final stage.

“If there is still no response in repentance and obedience, the church is to apply the procedures of excommunication as directed in Matthew 18:17 (If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If he refuses to listen to the church, treat him like a Gentile or a tax collector.)”

Fellow Brothers & Sisters, my prayer is that you will reach out to this man and his family with the Gospel.

2009-08-06T07:00:00.002-04:00

Trinity, I wanted to let you know that you are being lied to by this man and his wife. One specific lie is about this blog site. This site will not and never has installed any type of virus or spyware on any computer and they both know that, because they view it regularly. In my opinion, this man is once again destroying another church in the name of Christ for his own agenda; therefore he wants this blog as well as others taken down.

I have found a blog site that lays out exactly what his agenda is. If you want to understand what he and others like him are really about, read this posting on the Wartburg Watch found here. You should also take time to read the background on that blog as well as the other posts there.

Again I say as I have before, Trinity, your leadership was warned, and from the comments and emails, many, and I do mean many of you, are having the scales removed from your eyes concerning the agenda of this so called “pastor.” The only way to deal with this is to stand up, unite around the common cause of Christ being glorified in order to reach the lost, and stop the destruction of the lives of the people in your communities.

I am certain you will be called “troublemakers” and that you will be told you are causing division and that your actions are un-Biblical. Friends and family might even disagree with you and turn on you. However, if you sit there and do nothing, you will soon find nothing left to fight for. The people of Byron, GA and Starke, FL are all too familiar with that end. This man’s track record speaks for itself; simply do a little research and you will find out for yourself.

And please remember when he comes at you with, “We are following God’s leading and the BIBLICAL design of a church laid out clearly in the Word of God,” he has forgotten the verse, 1 John 4:8 “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” The church was instituted to reach out to the lost with the love of God, not to beat them up with doctrine and judge their salvation.

We must always measure what anyone teaches from Scripture against the character of God. Yes, God is the supreme authority and He is just, but He is also loving and kind and forgiving. Have you seen those characteristics in your pastor, or do you simply see arrogance and a controlling attitude? You must be a servant and not an authoritarian, if you want to be like Jesus.

So again I leave you with:

chad has been rebuked privately and publicly and members of the body are to withhold intimate fellowship through the process and procedure of group disapproval and social ostracism.

2008-11-21T18:00:00.002-05:00

You were warned what these men were capable of. The following is an excerpt from a letter authored by Doug P and was posted earlier this year in more than one place on the Internet:

“I did what I did (called the Chairman of the Deacons and report the incidents of PORN viewings) to protect your child or children and others at Madison Street and to clear up the matter legally and morally for liability protection for me AND PRAYS MILL BAPTIST CHURCH members so no one at Madison Street Baptist could say in the future…. I/we withheld serious information, incidents, charges and save possible consequences to your young children at Madison Street Baptist Church.”

MSBC, do you remember when Steve P was ‘disciplined’. chad was able to tell you what his sin was, but he wouldn’t tell you what jeff carter had done, but that he was being disciplined as well. Then jeff carter was reconciled after repenting to the almighty chad. Was he reconciled so that he could continue to prey upon the innocent? This so called ‘pastor’, chad had stated that he had a staff member previously that was accused of something inappropriate with a child. Did that staff member happen to be jeff carter?

UPDATE: http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?rfi=6&newsid=20208594

**********************************************
http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/news-article.aspx?storyid=124459

STARKE, FL -- A man from Lake Butler is facing lewd and lascivious conduct charges.
Authorities arrested 50-year-old Jeffrey Lamar Carter.

A 15-year-old girl told Starke police Carter began a "counseling relationship" with her in January. She told detectives she and Carter communicated in person and through Facebook.

The teen said Carter showed her pornographic pictures on his cell phone, and he asked her to take naked pictures of herself. She also told police Carter described dreams of having sex with her.

Carter was booked into jail and released on a $20,000 bond.

He faces charges of Lewd and Lascivious Conduct on a Person under 16."

**********************************************

Well chad has covered now for his big brother and his favorite youth guy from his boyhood. Wonder if carter ever covered for him?

jeff summers has also been with chad for a very long time now, has he ever been accused of anything inappropriate? Has chad had to cover up anything for him? Was he also involved in the cover up of the missing money at Day Spring?

MSBC, when are you going to stop supporting the destruction of the lives of the people living in your own community?

I like your idea of a blog that praises God and His church, but just read the posts of all these people on your blogsite: http://ministrywatch.blogspot.com/.

”I love MSBC, I love the pastor.”

What happened to praising and loving God?

Remember, this is about God’s side, not. ”your side”? Praise God people, not man.

You want to talk about cowards, but what about you verbally attacking a child, oh but I didn’t post that for all of your followers to see. If you people really only knew.

You know, MSBC and PMBC are not the only places where you have hurt people. There are a lot more than you think.

The guessing game with mike and chad everson

2008-07-10T10:10:00.000-04:00

You know, the biggest issue here is the fact that going way back, mike and chad have felt the need to publically call out other people’s sins, but they want to hide their own and even deny them when their failures are brought to light. What ever happened to leading by example?

They both have ruined some good men that God had given a great vision to. Jarrod really had God’s hand on him at one time, but I feel that he has let daddy and “little” brother steal that from him by not allowing him to get right with God and those he has hurt. He is so much more of a preacher and pastor than the other two will ever hope to be.

It’s also just funny that all Ric and Charles had to do was stand for TRUTH instead of following the twisted ways of huge egos. From what I hear, at one time, MSBC would have tossed chad out on his head if he had stood against Charles. Ric and Charles have also hurt a lot of people in their churches and communities that really loved them and still do, but people just can’t trust their leadership anymore.

As long as mike and chad continue to point the finger at others and cover up their own issues, I will be here simply reporting the facts and making sure the world is aware that wolves in sheep’s clothing do exist. The eversons’ double standards have finally caught up with them. If they will both publically apologize to those they have publically humiliated for no reason, “humble themselves and pray and seek His face and turn from their wicked ways, then He will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their” lives.

BTW…Just a question, but I wonder what the legal statute of limitations is on covering up theft from a church. I’m not sure how somebody can sleep at night knowing they allowed something like that.

Chad Everson and Mike Everson on the prowl…be careful churches, GBC, FBC, & SBC

Apparently chad and mike think I'm Doug or Billy or whoever else they want to conjure up.

Sorry to upset you fellas, but I'm one of those you can't silence with your little contracts. I've sat back and watched you for a few years now, and it seems just when somebody might tell the truth about you, somebody leaves or disappears. Well, the only point was to put the truth out through this site since you seem to have silenced Doug. Seems you've left a long trail of hurt families and lives all throughout the Southeast, both of you.

Johnny Hunt, if you have any sense at all, you will deal with pharisees like these in your convention.

Chad Everson…job hunting

It has come to my attention that chad has put himself on the market. Allegedly, his resume has been distributed to a number of potential new places for him to destroy.

MSBC, you should be on guard, as it is very possible, he will leave you just as he did Day Spring.

Potential new churches seeking a pastor should always scrutinize the candidates. Talk to the churches that the person has served in before. Remember if the wheat and chaff can sit in the pews together, the wheat and chaff can also stand behind the same pulpits.

Stay tuned, as there is more on the horizon about this man, I am just waiting on the legal confirmation as the goal is always to share TRUTH only.

Chad Everson…what a poor attempt

2008-06-13T05:26:00.000-04:00

A true “faithful” follower of the Lord Jesus Christ was called home on Saturday, June 8. Bro J was a true man of God. I am very pleased that Bro. Jeff C. and Bro. Scott C. were able to make his funeral a wonderful service. And Mrs. Sue, God bless you honey!

I am appalled that chad everson was even a part of the service. He should have just read the obit and sat his tail down. It was apparent that he had no real insight into what kind of man that Bro. J had been in his life.

chad actually stated that Bro. J complained to him about his ailments. Which of the two times you visited with Bro. J that he supposedly complained to you? And I ask you the same thing that Bro. J asked you the last time you were in his house, “Are you right with the Lord?”

Well, Bro. Scott sat him straight once again. Bro. J always responded with “I’m blessed” no matter what state he was in when you asked him how he was.

Bro. J was a charter member of Madison Street Baptist Church, and this so called pastor, chad, put his body in the “family life center” a.k.a. the basketball gym, to lie in state for viewing. A charter member of the church that you are the “pastor” of deserves cancelling the Wednesday night services for his viewing, especially for Bro. J. That was chad’s call, if it wasn’t then he is not really the senior pastor then is he?

You are only at MSBC, because of this man’s obedience to follow a vision from God, something, you chad, have apparently never experienced. The lack of respect you and your church showed for this man, his wife, and his family is a slap in the face of Bro. J, this community, and the Lord Jesus Himself. We shouldn’t be surprised, the everson mode of operations is usually low and shallow.

Just so you know, there were any number of churches in this area for fifty miles that would have taken care of this man and his precious family. My heart truly goes out to Mrs. C, as she has lost her true best friend, her soul mate. 75 years folks, that’s rare, as Bro. J said, “and they still had googly eyes for each other.”

Starke, MSBC, when will you understand Malachi 1:10

10"Oh that there were one among you who would shut the gates, that you might not uselessly kindle fire on My altar! I am not pleased with you," says the LORD of hosts, nor will I accept an offering from you.

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.

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

2008-04-09T06:26:00.000-04:00

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?

2008-04-08T16:52:00.000-04:00

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.
