Gary Petersen/The Rock Church con man/liar/deceiver Grandville Michigan

If you call yourself a Christian, you should be really careful when accusing someone who serves God as a Pastor, he is God's annointed shepherd of a local flock, and judgement may just fall upon you for making these telling these lies about him. All you have offered is words, no real proof of any crime ever being committed.

Pastor Petersen has moved from house too house over the years because he has fixed up one house, and turned it over for profit. Get your story right!  

Paster Petersen is NOT a homosexual, he is happiliy married to a wonderful woman, and has wonderful, Godly children. Pastors are commonly removed from Churches after they have been there for a number of years, or they move on too another ministry. The People at the Rock Church are not blind sheep who are being conned into following Pastor Petersen. They are people who love God,  each other, and want to reach out into the local community with the Gospel of Christ.

I would also say this - If Pastor Petersen had done what they claim he did, and lied about it too cover up his sin, God would have taken him out of the ministry, and he would have lost the power to preach boldly, as he is known for doing. As we know, this is not the case, Pastor Petersen is serving God with the same power and authority as he has for many years. The above report is a hatchet job meant to destroy a Godly man's reputation and ministry. It shows a lack of Christian love, and a lack of Grace that would be expected from someone who is a true follower of Christ. One would have too assume that those who are writing these nasty things about Pastor Petersen are not true followers of Christ.

For those who have questions about this issue, please seach for Wellspring Church of Hudsonville, read the report and take note of the questions being asked. Know that Pastor Petersen was set-up by a former staff member (Matt Everett), who blackmailed & extorted money from Church by demanding a "large sum of money" be paid to him to keep him from going to the media with his story. The Church Elders paid Mr. Everett under the table, told the congregation that Mr. Everett did NOT recieve any pay-out, plus a whole slew of untruths to cover up the boards misdeeds.

Wellspring board Chairmen Tom TenBrink, and others violated the Churches Constitution by holding a private meeting off of the Church campus, in which they confronted Pastor Petersen with the false accusations, and read Mr. Everetts list of demands which included the "Large Sum of Money".  This is what we believe to be true per Pastor Petersen, and His staff members who were present to witness this.

Pastor Petersen was forced out without a congregational vote, which is what the Churches Constitution called for. This was done because the Mr. TenBrink, and the others knew they would never be able too oust Pastor Petersen without it.

Wellspring Church is not, and never will be what it once was, because the Spirit of God has left the building, and all of the immoral people who have left over the years have come back into her. She is left with NO shepherd to lead the flock, and so the sheep are running wild like untamed beasts. Stay away from Wellspring Church!
