With the news that Andy Stanley’s North Point Community Church has become a cesspool filled with LGBTQ+ affirming pastors, leaders, ministries, guest speakers, and conferences, it’s unsurprising that as more stones are overturned, more deviant theology emerges.
One new stone comes in the form of a post by Courtney Fitzgerald wishing everyone “Happy Pride, ya’ll.” The family spent the month of June in Brooklyn, and going to the Pride parade weekend was the “one thing” her young son wanted to do.
Who is Fitzgerald? She’s a self-described she/her who also happened to be the assistant to the Lead Pastor at Decatur City Church, one of North Point Church’s main campuses, before leaving six months ago to join The Legacy Collective. The Legacy Collective is Jen Hatmater’s pro-LGBTQ organization that explicitly supports ‘gender-affirming care’ to trans and non-binary children, Ages 3-10 and gives grants to companies that facilitate it.
Because she worked for North Point for 15 years, she has many friends on staff who ‘liked’ her post about Pride weekened, seemingly agreeing with her sentiments in celebrating such a debauched and perverse event. Some of these staffers include:
Pastor Jenny Boyett. She has spent over 17 years at North Point Community Church, most recently as the Associate Director of Adult Ministries and then the Director of Author Support and Leader Training. She’ll be a speaker at North Point’s upcoming all-gay-affirming family conference.
Beth Chadwick. The Children’s Ministry Director for nearly four years.
Tish Dyer. A Coach in North Point’s preschool ministry for over 27 years.
Ericah Stokes. She’s the former Executive Assistant to lead pastor Samer Massad and the current Digital Services Coordinator at North Point Digital. She’s one of the same people who celebrated after a young man from North Point Church came out as a “transgendered woman” (along with about nine other North Point church staffers)
Rebecca Ducksworth. At the time the post was written, she was employed by North Point as the Director of Guest experiences.
Jared Roman He as been working for North Point in some capacity for nearly two decades, recently as a Production Director. Though he didn’t like this specific post, he did like another, which showed a video montage of their time at the Pride parade and was captioned “Pride weekend in the city was (Son’s name) one thing and I think we made the most of it!”
There are also the usual list of people who used to work for North Point and have recently left, including:
Ryan Fitzgerald. He spent a dozen years at North Point as the Service Programming Director.
Joe Wigglestone. He spent nearly a decade with North Point as a Post-Production Director.
Will Kelley-Entrekin. Spent a decade at North Point in various roles, recently as the Student Director.
Mallory Burkhalter worked in various roles across the North Point church family since 2018.
Nicole Frazier. She worked at the Associate Service Programming Director before leaving a few months ago
Candi Pearson. Long-time worship leader for over a decade.
Then there are even more peripheral people who liked the Pride post, such as Meredith Roman, whose husband is the aforementioned Jared Roman. She doesn’t work for North Point directly, but there are a whole bunch more people who attend the church who feel just as she does.
Sadly, we’d expect nothing less of Andy Stanley’s church.
could it be SATAN ?!
Last sentence says it all
“Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch not the unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, And ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” - II Corinthians 6:17-18
.
of course they did!! do you honestly think the church would not like pride!!??
the church is a joke...
Yup. A. Stanley’s “church” needs to be vacated by believers in the Word of God. Shake the dust off your feet and don’t turn around to look back.
“There is nothing new under the sun”…..Ecclesiastes 1:9
Sons have turned against fathers since the beginning……
…but how especially heartbreaking to have an apostate son when this father, Charles Stanley, ( as far as I know) preached the true Word for all his days in ministry.
Andy can’t take away the efforts of his dad…..
….Andy stands alone in his own stench!
Francis Schaefer’s son, Frankie, did similar
For that matter, neither of Ronald Reagan’s 2 children by Nancy were never a credit to him.
He does indeed sir.
Eli’s sons Hophni and Phineas, but little Samuel brought the word of the Lord to him: I Sam.3:13 :”For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God, and he failed to restrain them’” No wonder Andy Stanley wants to skip the Old Testament.
The whole LGBTQ+ thing is becoming a big yawn.
For me, they're often just a bookmark for something I want to take a look at later.
Or is it Ma’am? 😆😊
That would be ma’am…..: )
😊👍😁
Andy seems to be in the vanguard of the apostacy.
Yes, his father was a great man of God.
Dr Charles Stanley.
I have watched his sermons for years.
How sad the distance his son has removed himself from God.
