Agape Fellowship may sell land to pay claims

I would normally pass on blogging this story. Pastor Terry Hornbuckle is convicted of sexual misconduct, looses his job, and ends up in prison. After the pastor heads to prison, membership falls, bills pile up, and the eventually the victim sues for damages.

Agape Christian Fellowship, faced with lawsuits and owing hundreds of thousands of dollars to creditors and women who sued the church and its pastor for sexual misconduct, could satisfy its creditors by selling land for $1 million.

Agape Christian Fellowship owes a million dollars to its creditors. What caught my eye? The new pastor, Renee Hornbuckle, is paid $15K per month to lead the church. That's $180K to lead a church. Wow - I am in the wrong profession.

Renee, the new pastor,  is the wife of convicted rapist and former pastor,  Terry Hornbuckle. Terry was fired a few days after his conviction. Together the Hornbuckles earned a fortune at the helm of the former mega-church.  Sex, drugs, and sexual misconduct brought it all to and end. Except for the continued payment of $15K to Mrs "Bishop". What a scam.

I did some light research on Terry Hornbuckle. I found an enlightening article titled The Reverend Freak by Andrea Grimes and Stephanie Morris. Let's just say Terry Hornbuckle is the worst type of mega-church prosperity preaching jackass Christian sexual predator on the planet. Read it if you can.
