Former Highpoint Church pastor Chris Conlee allegedly fired for physical assault of female staff member
According to a local, trusted source, Highpoint Church in Memphis fired its founding pastor Chris Conlee for assaulting a female staff member. Instead of reporting the assault to the police, church leaders paid Conlee and another disgraced, sexually abusive pastor, Andy Savage, a portion of about $700,000 in severance pay, according to a church financial statement of activities.
If other low level staffers also received a severance package in 2018, what percentage of the total amount was doled out to these staffers and what percentage was doled out to Chris Conlee and Andy Savage?

At the time of the public release of Jules Woodson's story of sexual abuse by her then youth pastor, Andy Savage, Highpoint Church was a member of the Southern Baptist Convention. They have since removed their church from the convention.
Did Highpoint Church elders tell the congregation that their financial donations were going to pay off abusive pastors?

I know many HP members who could not understand the quick departure of CC but would deny this report unless they had “proof”
Non -operating income could refer to anything.
Income doesn’t sound like an expense.
Andy S is still a full fledged member so proof would have to be given. Not heresay
If a co-worker collapses on the job, we would call for an ambulance, right? If a neighbor fell off of a ladder, we would call 9-1-1, right? If we saw a car veer off the highway and burst into flames, we would call for emergency help! I don't understand the reluctance to call 9-1-1 when a fellow Christian is (allegedly) getting chased down and assaulted by an enraged pastor. - posted by Song of Joy
