The elders First Church of God received the resignation of Pastor David Bowen this morning. We have been in prayer and much discussion over a situation that has caused the resignation of our pastor. Pastor David is resigning over inappropriate behavior and actions. His actions in a particular situation have not been above reproach and have been unbecoming of a minister of the gospel. We ask for your prayers for the Bowen family and for the elders as we seek God’s direction for next steps.
We are providing an opportunity between the services on Sunday, January 25, 2021 at 10:15am for information on our next steps or to answer questions.
Eric Livingston, our State Pastor, will be speaking again this week at both services and will be available during the meeting between services as well.
We understand that there may be many questions. We would ask that you respect the privacy of the Bowen’s, pray, and save your questions until we are able to meet.
The elders of First Church of God are always happy to talk with you should you feel it is necessary before Sunday.
