Pick-Pocketin’ Preachers! 10 Black Churches Caught Up In Embezzlement Scandals
Goodwill Baptist Church (South Carolina)
Pastor John Albert Jackson Sr., 63, was up to no good! Church members at Goodwill Baptist Church, located in Madison S.C., noticed that $66,657 disappeared during Jackson’s 19-year tenure. After parishioners cornered him about the missing funds, Jackson resigned in 2011, but he ain’t off the hook! Last August, Jackson — and his 38-year-old son — were charged with multiple charges of embezzlement and malfeasance. “Goodwill” my derriere.
