Letter sent to folks at Driscoll's church, regarding the departure of one of his pastors and former right hand man.
Statement Regarding Divisive Former Staff Members
Dear Trinity Real Men and Real Women Leaders,
Mentors and Attendees, and Trinity Staff:
We are grieved to have to send this to you.
Julie Krombein has resigned from staff as Real Women's Director. Last week, we were also first notified via email by Caleb Glennie that he and Jill resigned from staff as Real Men's Pastor and Real Women's Coordinator "effective immediately" to "plant a church".
He refused to meet, hand off any duties in defiance of his employment agreement, asked for six months severance, took church members' private information to solicit, urged staff members to resign and follow him, wiped his entire church laptop before returning it, spent money on the church credit card for personal use, had an informational meeting for their church split, and announced a Men's gathering on Tuesdays at 6:30PM within days.
We had no prior knowledge as Caleb has been lying for months. We rebuke Caleb and urge him to repent of sin patterns that have disqualified him as a pastor. The Krombeins are with the Glennies.
Both families will be contacted by our legal representation for stealing and misusing the Real Men and Real Women contact lists.
For those involved, the words of Paul in Acts 20:28-31 are clarifying, "Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood... fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore be alert..."
Please be in prayer for your church family, its leadership, along with everyone else involved.
