Now keep in mind, when the church was formed in 2015, it had the red carpet rolled out for them by the Southern Baptist Convention. In short, they started as a welfare baby of the North American Mission Board, sucking at the teat of the Cooperative Program. Their church was planted using Southern Baptist money. Lee is an artist in Christian hip-hop, a genre largely considered relatively sound and promising until only recently, when it got ‘woke’ with the rest of urban America. Let me explain the dark humor and then extrapolate a lesson to be learned…Ĭornerstone Church of Atlanta, pastored by John Onwuchekwa (sounds like the name of a summer camp for privileged but troubled youth), was planted by Onwuchekwa and the rapper, Trip Lee. A predominately black Southern Baptist Church just voted to leave the SBC because it’s not woke enough.

It’s hilarious in a pinky-to-the-mouth bwahahaha sort of way. It’s hilarious in a poetic justice sort of way. This story is hilarious, at least if you despise the Southern Baptist Convention (which I do).
