A hearing set for Monday regarding a lawsuit by leaders of Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida, to evict the church's founders from a Black Hammock Island home purchased as a parsonage was canceled and transferred to the Circuit Court in Duval County.
Stovall and Kerri Weems, the founders of Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida, are expected to return to court on Monday afternoon to fight a push from the current leaders of the church to evict them from a Black Hammock Island home that was purchased as a parsonage.
Ruling that the court does not have jurisdiction over ecclesiastical matters, a Florida judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by Pastor Stovall Weems and his wife Kerri against leaders of the 12,000-member Celebration Church in Jacksonville they allege ousted them from the church in a “coup” earlier this year.
