There is a rumor going around that Bishop Tenney has baptized the Franklin family in Jesus name....

Really sends a great message to the folks.

I fail to see how one man can pastor a church on the east coast and one on the west coast. He may be preaching at both, but he is not really pastoring them.

I enjoy some of his sermons, BTW. But this is a power play, nothing more, nothing less.

The way men pastor Mega-churches is different than the way men pastor small churches. I am certainly pastoring differently than I ever have and with every increase - I am delegating more responsibility to others. Our church continues to be a Pastor led church and I can promise you - BOTH Free Chapels - Gainesville and Orange County are Pastor led!
Please don't judge him - He needed a challenge - He found one. He took the church in Gainesville from about 250 to over 10,000 and now the one on CA from around 150 - dissolved it - sent the people to other churches - started over and in just a few months - over 2,000 are there on Sunday.
You can say all you want - but he is doing SOMETHING RIGHT!
God bless Pastor Franklin!

OK, but I respectfully disagree.

I am outside the mainstream of modern pastoral thinking, but I believe once a church congregation reaches the size where one man is unable to pastor it, a sister or daughter work should be established with a portion of the congregation moving to the daughter work.

Preferably in a another section of a large town, or a neighboring community.

AB, IMO, pastors should be pastors, not administrators of large corporations.

IMO, I said.

Well said - I just totally disagree! I can promise you - JF is the Pastor and he has the FINAL word on everything! No matter how big we grow here - I will always be the Bishop and will make the decisions.
