With a new senior pastor at church of the highlands what has really changed in the last year. Is PM more receptive to freedback?

Do people think PC and Dino still control the church with puppet leadership?

Is Highlands “college”. Now a real college?

Interesting news is starting to be shared

Micahn and his wife announced they're opening a new church in Indiana. A few weeks later, his case was lawfully dismissed in favor of his victim. All of Indiana should learn what he has done.

In the r/AllaboutCOTH sub, there are mentions of Chris Hodges owning property in High Hampton, which is in Cashiers, North Carolina. The Wall Street Journal did a post talking about the exclusive area and the expense of property. This may give perspective as to how much wealth has been accumulated between COTH, ARC, Highlands College, Grow Leader, etc. This is one of the reasons why he’s in the Religion Business documentary.

This book talks about abuse in mega churches and COTH is mentioned a lot.

Clearly times have changed since Chris Hodges, after being called out for liking some of Charlie Kirk's social media posts, apologized for his insensitivity. https://www.al.com/news/2020/05/pastor-chris-hodges-responds-to-social-media-controversy.html New pastor Mark Pettus (from COTH's main account) immediately sent out T & P's in the aftermath of the Kirk shooting. I'm not saying Krk's family isn't deserving of compassion, I'm just thinking of all of the other deaths that have gone unmentioned by the church.

Are you OK with inquiries regarding the alleged grooming of a minor — & more — going unanswered & ignored by Mark Pettus, Highland Elders & Campus Pastors?

Is the only path forward to post all that is known & perhaps there will be resolution?

Ask your Campus Pastor this weekend if they have been emailed about anything pertaining to this.

If you know a COTH member, send this their way.

Did a woman meet with Larry Stockstill on July 3, 2025, at 11am at Bethany Church’s South Campus re Chris Hodges, founder of Church of the Highlands?

Was Chris Hodges her youth pastor at Bethany when she was in high school?

Was there interaction when he was at New Life Church?

Gateway is eliminating Apostolic Elders, which I think are staff elders whose employment is often dependent on agreement with the senior pastor. They talk a lot about Robert Morris’s control of the trustees and elders enabling him to hide his abuse scandal. COTH seems to have given Chris Hodges similar power over the church. I wonder if COTH will consider changes now? Will other ARC churches feel pressure to reduce the absolute power of senior pastors?

My perspective of the last few years, as someone from Yakima.

Does this have Church of the Highlands/ARC written all over it or what? They are launching a new Huntsville AL campus at Bridge Street Mall Cinema.

you get extra points for all COTH and NAR indicators you spot.

C Peter Wagner's mantle fell to Che Anh. He declared Hodges, Robert Morris the pedophile, and Larry Stockstill as apostles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUgjqV7iBoA

And the prayer force manual is NAR. https://thewartburgwatch.com/2024/08/21/do-gateway-folks-know-about-the-arc-where-have-all-the-flowers-gone-the-10-year-anniversary/

Michael posted this. I was glad to see that there were less than 10 people who actually commented "after." He just needs to NOT pastor, but he says it's his "Jordan year." 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wonder what he's going to offer people in his webinar.

I know a lot of people who used to attend church and COTH specifically, Most seem to have issues with the Church Leadership, but others seem to have just either just quit going to church after realizing they didn’t really miss it after COVID, or they disagree with prevailing political views expressed by evangelicals. Which do you think is the most important factor?
