![]() ![]() Let us all trust Christ that He will accomplish His purposes for the Glory of His Kingdom. We should all pray for the unity and harmony of our body that we could advance the cause of Christ in our own lives, in the life of our congregation, and in the lives we are called to witness in the surrounding communities. This is our goal and we encourage the congregation toward the same love and forgiveness. We are called to model Christ’s love through forgiveness and restoration toward our Pastor. We bear the blame for not offering our pastor counsel, correction, and restoration when errors or inappropriate content was presented. We accepted God’s blessings toward our church as signs of His favor without adequately attending to our responsibility that the complete principles, truths, and love of Christ are presented from our church’s pulpit. We, the deacons of the First General Baptist Church of Malden, Missouri, offer this unreserved apology to our congregation, our surrounding communities, our denomination, and the followers of Jesus Christ everywhere. The Deacons from First General Baptist Church also released a statement: I genuinely believe this is the best way forward. A video widely circulated on social media shows Pastor Stewart-Allen Clark's sermon before the 1st General Baptist Church in Malden in the state's bootheel. I sincerely ask for your forgiveness and to be restored as your pastor. I recognize and understand that what I said was imprudent and discourteous. Pastor Stewart-Allen Clark, of the Malden First General Baptist Church, voluntarily went on leave and enrolled in counselling last week after a sermon of his from February caused outrage when it. I have secured an accountability partner, and we are and will continue to meet regularly. I am meeting regularly with a professional counselor. Since February 28, I have taken a leave of absence. I have no one else to blame but myself, and I own the hurt I have caused to both people inside and outside the community. I want to say to the church that I’m truly sorry that I embarrassed you. To the ladies within the church, ladies in the community, and those viewing our Livestream I want to say I am deeply sorry for any and all pain or distress that my words brought on you. Pastor Stewart Allen Clark is in hot water after. In the sermon, I made insensitive remarks about women and made statements deemed unbiblical. Theyre everywhere, but only one can be named AHole of the Week. On Sunday, February 21, 2021, I delivered a sermon about men’s needs in the marital relationship. Yes, you heard it right last month Allen made this comment, and Malden First General Baptist Church released a statement that reads As of March 2, 2021, Pastor Stewart-Allen Clark has taken a leave of absence and is seeking professional counseling.
