— Daniel Whyte III Says the Church Could Have Been Saved if Smith Had Taken Heed to my Public Advice to Resign Immediately. Smith Did Not do so and Now the Church is Bankrupt and is Down 95% in Attendance. This Happens Every Time. Whyte Says the Reason Why he Tells Pastors Such as Karl Lentz, Brian Houston, Tavner Smith, and Now Matt Chandler to Resign Immediately is to HELP SAVE THE CHURCH and to Help All of us to Understand That the Church, in General, is in Such Bad Shape as we Are the Worse Laodicean Church in the History of the World, That Yes, we Can Forgive and Show Mercy, But at This Point we must Practice Zero Tolerance of This Foolishness That Pastors Are Doing With Women in the Church and Other Men’s Wives

Venue Church used to be among the fastest-growing churches in the nation, topping 1500 people spread across four services and two locations. Then the pastor and senior leader, Tavner Smith, cheated on his wife, divorced her, and subsequently had an illicit affair with his worship leader/ personal assistant, resulting in a mass exodus of staff and congregants. Now, Venue Church Attendance Down 95%.

How bad is it? Based on a video from their church service yesterday, attendance is down an estimated 95%. While the church’s YouTube channel is careful only to show Taver preaching, whoever controlled the stream made a rare misstep and shared the church sanctuary before the service, revealing how bare and stark it is. There are huge gaps between the chairs, between the rows, and the center aisle is practically a chasm, with scarcely two dozen people.

With the church hemorrhaging money, owing creditors at least 130k, having no cash reserves, and defaulting on their rent for months, they declared bankruptcy several weeks ago in an attempt to hang on to their building at least, which was vision-casted by Smith in happier times.

This is unlikely to happen. Another thriving church, Rockpointe, is looking to expand, announcing to their congregation that they are still seeking to purchase the property and take it over, working with banks, lawyers, and real estate agents to pry the facilities out of the cold, begrudging hands of the disgraced pastor who has no path forward other than to sell.
