Job opening for Pastor at the New Hope Baptist Church, Jarrell Texas after beloved Pastor shot.
 
Pastor John Warden was accidentally shot by his son in law after a family outing at a local gun show. The church has not advertised as yet for a replacement but that should be anytime now.

Pastor Shot Dead by Son-In-Law Outside Gun Show in Tragic Sunday Accident
http://www.christianpost.com/
Pastor John Warden, 59, (l) and his son-in-law Jared Priddy ®.
A Jarrell, Texas, church was left in mourning last Saturday after their beloved pastor was shot dead in a tragic accident outside a gun show by his son-in-law.
A report from Keye TV said John Glover Warden, 59, pastor of New Hope Baptist Church, died at the hands of his son-in-law, Jared Charles Priddy, when a gun Priddy was handling went off accidentally.
Cedar Park Police said they responded to a shooting call at about 5:07 p.m. Saturday at the Austin Premier Gun Show at the Cedar Park Center. The pastor and his son-in-law had taken a semi-automatic handgun with them.
Cedar Park Police Chief Sean Mannix said the gun was unloaded prior to the men entering the gun show.
"What we do know is that the gun had been unloaded prior because it was brought into the gun show, inspected and tagged as unloaded," Mannix told Keye TV.
Detectives said Priddy reloaded the gun when they got back to their car and it went off hitting the beloved pastor. Warden was transported to St. David's Round Rock Hospital where he died.
Police are still investigating the shooting but so far it does not appear Priddy will be charged with a crime.
Michael Cargill, Central Texas Gun Works owner, said the shooting could have been prevented had proper gun handling procedure been followed.
Pastor John Warden, 59, (l) and his daughter Marissa Priddy (l) at her wedding to Jared Priddy who went on to accidentally kill him.
"I'm going to load my loaded magazine into the handgun, release slide and then keep finger off trigger. I'm not going to point gun at anything I don't want to kill or destroy and then holster that firearm," he said in a demonstration.
Just last month, Priddy's wife and Warden's daughter, Marissa Priddy, doted on her father in a Facebook post accompanied by a photo of her father at her wedding.
"Even though he's not on Facebook, I'm thankful for a great dad!" Marissa noted in the post.
In a Facebook group for New Hope Baptist Church of Jarrell, Warden's friend, Mark Mcadams, had high praise for the pastor.
"I felt like I should write something here to say how much I appreciate the people in this body of believers. I saw again today how they draw together in faith. The whole purpose of why people like John Warden dedicate themselves to the ministry of Christ Jesus," he began.
"I do not have a grip on this as of yet, I will be honest. I am grateful for some time he [Warden] and I got to spend together this past week. My friend is with Jesus. Of that I am confident. He wanted everyone to have opportunity to meet the Savior. I pray that our body of believers remember him with gratefulness to God for the time we were able to have him with us," he continued.
"I call upon all of us to remain steadfast, pray for direction and protection, and simply love one another. Remember that we will see him in a better place and time. We love you Miss Paula, we love your family. May God grant us the grace to march with the zeal that John Warden had for the Gospel."
A memoriam for Warden, described him as a veteran pastor who had been in ministry since 1994 when he founded Grace Baptist Church of Salado. He ran that church for 18 years before moving back to his hometown of Jarrell to start New Hope Baptist Church, which he ran for the last six years.
"He had a heart full of care and concern for the hurting. Most of all, he had a passion to share his love for his Lord and Savior to anyone who would listen (and lovingly prayed for those who wouldn't)," noted the memoriam.
Rumor has it that Jared Priddy, the son in law, was being groomed to eventually take over the flock but that might be imprudent even if the police ruled it accidental.

Oh heck, I would love to do this! Is prior pastor experience necessary?

Pastor Zeke, could you issue me a pastor-in-training license right now if I prepay the first three weeks of my pastor training tuition?

I wonder what sins Pastor John Warden had committed to cause Jesus to pull the trigger of his son-in-laws firearm. Maybe he had had gaysexural thoughts?

Perhaps it is sufficient to say Sister that tree of Christian Liberty must be refreshed time to time by the blood of good Christians (as in white, male, Baptist Republicans)

I reread the news article to see if there were any hints of homerism and nothing jumped out at me. The one thing I noticed was the discrepancy in the story and in the headline. In the headline it says the church was dealing with a tragedy that happened on Sundaybut the body of the article says he was shot on Saturday. THERE IS SOME SORT OF COVER UP GOING ON! Is this the work of Yo Momma Obama trying to get an excuse to disarm God fearing White Republican Christians as he and his black jack booted thugs take over our great country! Damnable socialist nazis will do anything to destroy our lifestyles.

I am in need of some reflective time in my prayer closet now as I have gotten so angry at this cover up.Pray with me for guidance.

YIC, Benedict A Davis

Since you're the one instigating all the trouble with my request for a tripling of my Pastor Stipend, I don't think you'd like the letter I would write. :glare:

What about Pastors like TD Jakes and Creflo Dollar. They're black pastors at churches with white members.

They're false Christians.
TD Jakes is a Pentecostalist, and his main interest is making money.
As for Creflo Dollar, I think his last name says it all. He owns two Rolls Royces, a private jet, and his real estate includes a million dollar home in Atlanta, a $2.5m million home in New Jersey, and a $2.5m home in Manhattan, which he sold for $3.75m in 2012. Creflo Dollar Ministries received a grade of "F" for financial transparency by Ministry Watch.

So can there be no such thing as a black pastor or whites just should under no circumstance under a black pastor?

I want to save your valuable time. I'm sure all of you are half way through typing, or having your wives type, beautiful messages urging me to take on this flock. But I'm really too busy right now. Thank you for your trust in me but I really can't. Don't even bother sending your messages, just delet them now. And don't start writing me asking that I reconsider, I just can't.

Bless you all your faith in me is truely inspiring.
