Christians Rally to Defend Cities Church
Faith Facts
- GiveSendGo fundraiser for Cities Church nears $20,000 within hours, aiming for $100,000.
- The drive supports church security and legal defense after disruptions by protesters.
- The DOJ is investigating protestors for possible federal law violations.
After a disruptive protest targeted Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, the community united to support the Southern Baptist congregation with generosity and prayer.
The GiveSendGo campaign, initiated by Benny Johnson, received direct authorization from Pastor Jonathan Parnell to bolster security and cover legal costs in defense of faith and worship.
“100% of all proceeds go to the Church for stronger security, reinforcement of their House of Worship and legal fees to fight back against these vicious attacks,” the fundraiser stated.
The campaign urged believers to take a stand: “Help protect Cities Church and send a message that people of faith will NOT back down against the forces of darkness and evil.”
As protesters stormed the sanctuary during Pastor Parnell’s message, he responded with calm and courage, later reconvening his flock for worship that evening.
“The pastor of Cities Church, Jonathan Parnell, stood strong as a Man of God and defended his flock in the face of evil. The church even reconvened later that evening and held a worship service,” shared the GiveSendGo statement.
Former host Don Lemon participated in the demonstration, confronting Pastor Parnell at the pulpit, while social media amplified public outcry at the disturbance.
The Justice Department is reviewing potential infractions under the FACE Act, defending worship and the sanctity of religious assembly as guaranteed by law.
Following the incident, Alveda King underscored the Christian commitment to peaceful protest and nonviolence, referencing her family’s biblical legacy.
President Trump offered praise for Pastor Parnell’s composure, calling the protest at the church “horrible” and commending his leadership.
“I have such respect for that pastor,” Trump said. “He was so calm, he was so nice. He was just accosted. What they did in that church was horrible [on Sunday].”
Church elders denounced the intimidation, reaffirming that “Jesus is real” and condemning any interference with worship as both unlawful and unchristian.
“Such conduct is shameful, unlawful, and will not be tolerated. Invading a church service to disrupt the worship of Jesus — or any other act of worship — is protected by neither the Christian Scriptures nor the laws of this nation,” their statement read.
Cities Church encouraged believers to “Love One Another,” holding steadfast to the teachings of Jesus in moments of unrest.
Faith, family, and freedom stand strong when believers uplift their church and pray for the restoration of peace and Christian witness. Stay informed and keep Cities Church in your prayers as they bravely continue their ministry.

AEW Star Samoa Joe Urges Faithful to Tithe
Faith Facts
- Professional wrestler Samoa Joe has publicly encouraged Christians to give a portion of their income to the local church.
- Joe described his decision to tithe as one of his “greatest decisions.”
- The call to tithe reflects the biblical principle of returning the firstfruits of one’s labor to God.
Professional wrestler Samoa Joe is using his platform to point believers toward faithful giving. He recently shared that his commitment to tithing remains one of the most important choices he has made.
Joe described the practice as both a spiritual discipline and a source of blessing in his life. His public encouragement comes at a time when many families are weighing how to honor God with their finances amid rising costs and economic uncertainty.
“One of my greatest decisions was to tithe,”
The wrestler’s testimony underscores the biblical call found in Malachi 3:10, where God invites His people to bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. For Christian audiences, Joe’s words serve as a reminder that generosity is not limited to pastors or ministry professionals.
His straightforward challenge to tithe resonates with believers who see financial stewardship as an act of worship rather than mere obligation. In an industry often marked by self-promotion, Joe’s public stand for biblical giving offers a refreshing counter-example.
