Watchdog Group Hits Government Officials Donating Taxpayer Money To Church
Earlier this month, the Covington County Commission approved a request by Commissioner Harold Elmore to donate the taxpayer funds to the Covington Baptist Association (CBA) as it works to revamp its men’s ministry program.
According to the Andalusia Star News, the church is seeking donations to renovate the Old Stanley School House, church-owned property designated for the CBA’s monthly men’s ministry meetings. The meetings, which are described by the church as a "countywide outreach to non-churched men," offer men free steak dinners as a way to recruit "father" figures who will then convince family members and non-believers to convert to the Christian faith.
