Ooops!!! North Carolina Pastor Fired For Attending Rick Ross Concert

A young pastor in North Carolina, approaching
his fourth year on the job, is back on the market
after he was fired last weekend by his church
for attending a Rick Ross concert.
The news was first broken by
AmericaPreachers.com and picked up by several
outlets.
26-year-old pastor Rodney Wills was the pastor
of the Mt. Salem Baptist Church. Wills managed
to nail two milestones in his post in being not
only the youngest pastor in the church’s 100
year-plus history, but also having the shortest
time on the job. Wills was voted out by church
deacons 11 to 3 over the weekend after it was
discovered he attended a Rick Ross concert.
Willis was blindsided by the firing, this after
arriving to the church for service and seeing his
parking sign and name removed from his office
door. The deacons had a minister from another
church community lead the services for this past
Sunday (August 4). In a statement to
AmericanPreachers.com, a deacon spoke about
the reasons behind the firing.
“We know that many saints will have mixed
opinions from our actions, but this is not how
we do things here at Mt. Salem. We cannot have
a pastor praising the world one minute then
praising the Lord the next. Period,” said Deacon
Miles Langley.
Wills has been in this position before just nine
months prior.
The pastor was spotted by church attendees at a
Lil Wayne concert and met with the deacon
board then to secure his job. This latest
instance, however, was the last straw. The
church said it will employ guest ministers in the
meantime until they find a replacement for
Willis.
Can a pastor lead a church and still be a fan of
