On Sunday (July 24), outspoken and controversial pastor Greg Locke shared on social media before Global Vision Bible Church’s worship service that their welcome signs were stolen and publicly burned.
“Had our church welcome flags stolen last night and then burned on a Snapchat video,” Locke wrote. “The public hatred for our church continues to rise. This is evil but make no mistake, we’re NOT BACKING DOWN OR GOING AWAY.”
This isn’t the first time Global Vision Bible Church has been vandalized. In 2020, the church was defaced in response to their hosting of Roger Stone, former 2016 campaign advisor for President Donald Trump and convicted felon, to share his testimony.
Vandals defaced signs, walls, and the pulpit with vulgar messages that told Locke and Stone they were going to hell, causing an estimated $5,000 in damages.
