Church of the Highlands Senior Pastor Chris Hodges said on Thursday that a lawsuit accusing him and the church’s associate pastor of engineering the takeover of a Florida megachurch last year is “false and misleading.”

The suit was filed on July 12 by Stovall Weems and his wife Kerri Weems, who founded Celebration Church of Jacksonville, Fla. back in 1998. “Hundreds of ARC churches are loving and serving people in their communities because of the support and resources they have received. Any claims mischaracterizing the actions or mission of ARC will be proven untrue.”
“ARC is a non-profit on which Pastor Hodges serves as a director that supports communities through church planting around the nation. We regret that Mr. Weems named Pastor Hodges in the lawsuit, but we are grateful for a judicial system, like ours, focused on finding the truth. And because the courtroom has always been the best place in which to hear the truth, we look forward to continuing this discussion there.
