A Christian pastor of a trendy Miami church has been forced out for allegedly having steamy affairs with three women from his congregation, two while he was still married, DailyMail.com can reveal.
David Stocker, 46, was fired from Brave Church in the city's Westchester district in April after its overseeing body – the Peninsular Florida District Council of the Assemblies of God – found him guilty of 'gross sexual misconduct and immoral actions.'
The clergyman, who had preached at the church since 2014, is also accused of using the church's credit card to fund some of his illicit encounters, including paying for a flight to New York for one of his lovers.
The shocking allegations are contained in a 307-page complaint filed by the council that sued Stocker after he refused to step down and continued preaching despite being dismissed for breaching the church's bylaws.
Stocker's attorney did not immediately comment on the sex and alcohol allegations when contacted by DailyMail.com.
The pastor was investigated after the scorned woman from his first alleged affair reported him to the council in a damning email in January, in which she supplied 'hundreds' of photographs, videos, and text messages cataloging his shame.
The woman, whose identity is being protected by the council, was distraught after discovering Stocker went on to have relationships with two other worshippers – and is currently still with one of them, according to the legal papers filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court.
The middle-aged mother alleged she and Stocker had sex on their first date as part of their 'whirlwind romance' and later had each other's names tattooed on their necks with the day they met.
She also claimed the fired minister, whose position demanded he abstain totally from alcohol, was frequently drunk, sometimes while in high-profile public places.

“Well, isn’t that special!”
You know, old Billy Graham and company sure were wise to vow to not be alone with any gal who wasn’t their wives.
Bless His Heart.
Did no one notice that he had a tattoo on his neck?
Party on Wayne. Party on Garth.
Look up this clown on LinkedIn. His picture. He thinks he’s a rock star.
Gee for a moment there I thought the uk BS mediapuke paper was talking about botox botch husband Paul Pelosi!! Effin criminals!!
Nothing says class like a middle age woman getting her hookup's name tattooed on her neck.
He sure thinks he’s cute.
So, what’s the problem? :)
I think I’ll send him a tithe check next week . Heh .
No church for me. I’m fine.
Ephesians 5:5 is his problem.
I think Matthew 7:15 applies here, as in so many other places.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”
As a side note, some people debate the meaning of the word “prophet” here. I will take it in this case to mean a misleading teacher or leader.
Y R U all puttin’ it on him? It’s the women who are just dying to hop in the sack with a liar they can’t have. He’s just picking the low-hanging fruit. Think Bill Clinton stuck with Hillary. Think of all the women Obama ‘could’ have had if he wasn’t queer. JFK anyone?

What is wrong with some women??????
She’s “distraught” that he was in an affair with another woman?
What did she expect? He was willing to cheat on his wife with her. What would make her think he wouldn’t cheat on her with someone else?
And having sex on the first date? She deserves everything she got. And they are protecting her as if she’s innocent.
Disgusting.
Trendy ANYTHING is to be looked at extremely critically. And anything trendy in a church should be shunned.
All this emotional clap-trap crap is a one way path to hell.
