Does it. It would seem this church should disappear and the congregants are doing the right thing in voting with their feet.

This post is probably going to get pulled. I’m sorry for whatever trials your church body is dealing with. God’s will always prevails.

I thought Gofundme was a leftist company.

The congregation needs a lawyer.

I was asked to sign up to view the go fund me campaign for the congregants or to create an account. Never had that happen before. Weird.

Go to the local DA. It is a crime

Assuming that there are is s clear basis upon which to make the allegations of fraud, here is the simple free solution...

Everyone should stop giving to this church immediately and attend elsewhere until full, open transparency of the financial records, as revealed by a thorough and independent forensic accounting firm, selected by the congregation, paid for by church leadership out of their operating budget, is provided to every member who has donated. It is not, nor should it be the financial burden of the congregants to fund an audit.

If the ministry lacks transparency, all your concerns are answered in this simple fact and obvious answer.

Nobody needs gfm to accomplish this. And, by the way, doesn’t gfm take a % cut of the donations...kind like a tithe and does anyone else find this an ironic twist to this whole fundraising scheme?

In civil matters, the only ones who win are those being paid by billable hours. Lawyers are not in business to solve your problems, they are in business for billable hours and quick, efficient problem solving is not profitable for their practice...the missing $300k might end up looking like chump change when this is all over.

Further, please look into what the NT says about law suits among believers. What you’ll learn is in direct conflict with this appeal for money to fund such an undertaking.

If the church refuses to comply, find another church. If there’s a problem it will self correct.

Before you invest money in a lawsuit, you need to be reasonably sure there is actually money you can recover.

If the church leadership already spent it, or they lost it in a bad investment, your lawsuit is pointless, unless you want to put them jail, which will not bring your money back, either.

The bible tells us repeatedly to not be decieved. It is up to each one of us to be careful how we spend money. Who we support.
