Pastors Justin and Kasey Greenwell have resigned from their positions as online pastors at Greg Locke’s Global Vision Bible Church (GVBC), in Lebanon, Tennessee, alleging spiritual abuse and a lack of spiritual and financial accountability. They have called upon Locke to repent. Locke denies the allegations, maintains the church is financially transparent, and says that he has already repented of what he needs to repent of.
Locke is known for brash, controversial preaching, including telling congregants not to wear masks in 2021, claiming in 2022 that children with autism are under demonic attack, and calling for Catholic items and games like Dungeons and Dragons and Pokémon to be burned.
