KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Frustrated that his congregation didn't buy him a luxury watch, a pastor in Missouri called them "poor, broke, busted and disgusted" during a recent sermon.
According to The Washington Post and NBC News, a video clip of the Aug. 7 sermon posted on TikTok showed Rev. Carlton Funderburke of the Church at the Well in Kansas City telling his congregation he was upset they weren't "honoring" him with a Movado watch.
“That’s how I know you still poor, broke, busted and disgusted, because of how you been honoring me,” Funderburke said in the video, according to the news outlets. “I’m not worth your McDonald’s money? I’m not worth your Red Lobster money? I ain’t worth your St. John Knit — y’all can’t afford it nohow. I ain’t worth y’all Louis Vuitton? I ain’t worth your Prada? I’m not worth your Gucci?”
He later informed them during the sermon that the watch could be bought at Sam's Club.
"And y'all know I asked for one last year. Here it is all the way in August, and I still ain’t got it," he said in the clip, the news outlets reported. "Y'all ain’t said nothing. Let me kick down the door and talk to my cheap sons and daughters."
According to the news outlets, the video was posted by the digital media company The Kansas City Defender.
On Tuesday, The Church at the Well posted a video of Funderburke apologizing for his "inexcusable" remarks.
"Though there is context behind the content of the clip, no context will suffice to explain the hurt and anguish caused by my words," Funderburke said.
“Brothers and sisters,” Reverend Leroy said, “this won’t do. In order for this church to progress, first this church has got to crawl, this church has got to crawl!”
And the members cried out, “Make it crawl, Rev. Make it crawl!”
“And after this church has crawled, this church has got to stand up and walk! This church has got to walk!”
And the members yelled, “Make it walk, Rev! Make it walk!”
“And after this church has walked, this church has got to run! This church has got to run!”
And the members yelled, “Make it run, Rev! Make it run!”
“And in order for this church to run, it’s gonna take money! It’s gonna take money!”
And the members yelled, “Let it crawl, Rev. Let it crawl!”
What a complete TOOL!
Kick this 🤡 to the curb people!!!
Close, he needs a Goofy watch.
Quite frankly I didn’t find it near as bad as many other TV evangelists. Heck, the guy even said exactly what he wanted, not telling lies and scamming senior out of their money.
“Quite frankly I didn’t find it near as bad as many other TV evangelists”

“…I’m sorry… that y’all is just a bunch a cheap @$$, b#*%ches…”
