Pastor Rodney Wills was just about to reach 4 years at Mt. Salem Baptist Church when the unusual happened. Reported by AmericaPreachers.com
He
is the youngest pastor to be installed at 26 years old and is now the
shortest term pastor in Mt. Salem’s 109 year history. On Saturday, Mt.
Salem voted him out for attending a local Rick Ross concert.
With a vote of 11 to 3, the 14 deacons met at 11pm Saturday night to
discuss and come to a conclusion that they did not need his services
anymore. Rev. Wills arrived to the church the next day for Sunday
morning worship service and notice his parking sign taken down and his
name removed from the office door.
The
deacons even asked another minister from the community to officiate the
service that morning. “We cannot have our leader supporting people of
this world who are tearing down the kingdom of God.” said Deacon Miles
Langley.
According
to Deacon Langley, this is not the first time Rev. Wills has attended a
concert while pastoring Mt. Salem. 9 months ago the diaconate board met
with Rev. Wills when word was given to them that many youth and young
adults spotted the pastor at a Lil Wayne concert.
“We
know that many saints will have mixed opinions from our actions, but
this is not how we do things here at Mt. Salem. We cannot have a pastor
praising the world one minute then praising the Lord the next. Period”
said Deacon Langley
