If you’re a member of The First Baptist Church of Sapulpa, you’ve probably got some questions for us and we’ll be happy to answer them but first…
We’ve got some questions for YOU…
HOW do you feel about your church’s threats of legal action against YOU for viewing this website? The rulers of the church have publicly threatened to sue us AND any church member who reads this website and talks about it. They have literally threatened to subpoena YOUR PRIVATE E-MAILS just for mentioning the blog. They even brought in an attorney to intimidate the church with legal threats while everyone watched in horror. The bullying of the good people of this church by the leadership is precisely why we have fought hard to prevent them from gaining the power they want. If they are already threatening civil rights violations, what would happen to you if we gave them the legal authority they are seeking with the constitutional changes they want? READ MORE…
HOW was The Sapulpa Messenger able to notify our readers who the next associate pastor was going to be… 6 months BEFORE the search committee members were even selected by the congregation? This wasn’t “God’s man” chosen by representatives of the congregation. It was a carefully choreographed religious side show designed to look legit but engineered to repay a favor. Church, you were duped. The process was RIGGED! READ MORE…
WHY does First Baptist Church of Sapulpa pay over $100k in compensation to a staffer who boldly and unapologetically plagiarizes material? This isn’t simply using a quote here and there. It is using an entire document and changing 3-4% of it to hide it’s origins. Covering it up and receiving payment for it is simply lying and stealing. Won’t 6 figures pay for an honest man?

WHO among the deacons has used the church’s resources illegally for political campaigns in the community? While the church doesn’t have money for Christmas programs or outreach anymore, it is able to find the money to use its facilities, auto dialers, and office resources in support of certain members’ political agendas in the community.

WHY would staffers, who publicly disavow Calvinism and occasionally teach against the TULIP, choose to flood the church with Calvinist literature and teachings? Why did they insist for YEARS that every class use a Calvinist Sunday School curriculum in spite of protests from the congregation? Why did they pass out paperback copies of a Calvinist systematic theology? We stopped their plan for converting this church into a 9Marks elder dominated discipline enforced nightmare by exposing the source of their doctrines: John Calvin, the monster of Geneva. This is not a Calvinist church so WHY do they want to put you under a Calvinist polity? Would you be willing to sign their legally binding church contract? READ MORE…
ABORTION used to be something we stood against. Recently, as part of a social project, FBC Sapulpa was set to lock arms with the UMC Circle of Care which is a United Way of OKC affiliate and has donated money to abortion clinics in Oklahoma. Why did the staff bow its neck and ignore the requests of church members to pull out of this association? Why did they issue a a letter that was false and misleading in an attempt to carry out this plan? READ MORE…
