JAKES RANDY AND PAULA WHITE ARE VERY DISHONEST In his autobiography, "Without Walls," and on a 2002 Web profile, Randy said he enrolled at the former Lee College in Cleveland, Tenn., and earned a bachelor's degree in ministerial studies and a master's in divinity. He said he was awarded an honorary doctorate in humane letters from Virginia State University in Petersburg, Va. Representatives from both schools said he did not receive degrees there, though Lee confirmed he took two classes. According to documents Randy gave the Tribune in April, he received a doctorate of humane letters from Commonwealth Assistance Foundation Institute of International Studies in Alexandria, Va., in May 1993. An in-depth Internet search found no mention of the school. There is no telephone listing for it. Randy does have a bachelor's degree in theology from the International Bible Institute and Seminary, a correspondence school in Orlando. Creditor Posts Top Bid at Auction for Without Walls Church Without Walls Central Church sits vacant in North Lakeland in December 2012. The building, once the Carpenter's Home Church, is set to be auctioned on July 8 as the result of a bankruptcy filing by the Tampa church that owns it. CALVIN KNIGHT | THE LEDGER (2012) By Gary White THE LEDGER Published: Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at 11:07 a.m. Last Modified: Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at 11:07 a.m. TAMPA | Polk County's largest church building is on the verge of having a new owner. But the fate of the former Without Walls Central property is not necessarily any clearer. The credit union that holds the mortgage on the North Lakeland property bid $2 million Tuesday morning to take possession of the 63-acre property that includes the former Carpenter's Home Church, which has a capacity of 9,600. The auction took place in a conference room at the offices of Stichter, Riedel, Blain and Prosser, the Tampa law firm representing Without Walls. It lasted about two minutes and produced only a single voiced bid — the $2 million offer from Evangelical Christian Credit Union. Sealed bids on the auction were due by Monday and resulted in an opening bid of $1.7 million, as explained by Walt Driggers, a broker with Tranzon Driggers, the company that managed the auction. That bid was made by Joe Barron, an independent developer based in Celebration. A representative from the credit union immediately bid $2 million, and the other two qualified bidders — Barron and a priest from a Chicago church — declined to bid higher than that. The three representatives from the credit union declined to comment about their plans for the property following Tuesday's auction. The transaction must be approved today in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Tampa. The credit union had three representatives at Tuesday's auction. The two other qualified bidders, The auction resulted from a long legal battle between the California-based credit union and Without Walls International, the Tampa church that has owned the property since 2005. The credit union, claiming it was owed $13.9 million by Without Walls International, began foreclosure proceedings in October 2012. Without Walls International filed for bankruptcy in March, bringing the foreclosure case to a halt. Judge Michael Williamson of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Tampa signed an order for the auction in April. The property includes a Mediterranean-style structure built in the 1920s as a retirement home for a carpenters' union. That building was used in recent years as a private school. Without Walls Central has been dormant for about three years. Records show Without Walls owes Lakeland Electric $5,236.41. The church also has accrued about $30,000 in fines from Lakeland's code enforcement office for violations, city spokesman Kevin Cook said. The First Assembly of God constructed Carpenter's Home Church in 1985. The church split in 1989 and never again had a congregation large enough to fill the 9,600-seat sanctuary. Church Foreclosures Plague California Credit Union By Michelle A. Samaad June 19, 2013 In the thick of the economic meltdown that ravaged the housing market a few years ago, churches in some communities were among those that felt the bruises of foreclosures more than other properties. One of the credit union industry’s top business lending programs can be found at the $1.1 billion Evangelical Christian Credit Union in Brea, Calif. Toward the end of 2012, it ranked second in the nation, amassing $833 million in business loans, according to SNL Financial. However in 2009, Evangelical Christian started grappling with an increase in foreclosures on churches. In a USA Today article, the credit union said it had to foreclose on seven of its 1,100 loans in 2008. At least one Texas church had filed for bankruptcy, owing the cooperative nearly $2.8 million. Fast forward to 2013 and Evangelical Christian is embroiled in yet another foreclosure case that stretches back to 2008. This time, it involves a proceeding against one of Florida’s largest churches. The Lakeland, Fla.-based Without Walls International Church initially went into foreclosure in 2008, owing Evangelical Christian $13.9 million, which was due in September 2012, Ledger.com reported. In 2009, it approved a mortgage modification for the church. Evangelical Christian then moved forward with its foreclosure proceedings against the church last October. After filing a request for documents on May 21, a hearing is set to take place in September. Meanwhile, Without Walls filed a complaint last October against Evangelical Christian seeking more than $23.8 million with claims that the credit union acted inappropriately towards the church’s founder, Randy White, by allowing his ex- wife, Paula White, to take more than $2 million worth of video and music equipment from the church to use for her own ministry, according to the Ledger.com. Paula White was apparently hired as senior pastor at a church in Orlando. Without Walls’ complaint also said Evangelical Christian allegedly made false statements about the church in order to thwart a deal initiated by Randy White to sell the property. According to real estate filings, Without Walls is currently up for sale, with an asking price of $14.75 million, the Ledger.com reported. The property, which has 63 acres and houses the 9,600-seat church, was initially bought in 2005 for $8 million. A comment from Evangelical Christian was not available. In a 2009 article titled “Crisis and Faith” featured in a leadership education publication from Duke University, Mark Holbrook, president of Evangelical Christian, offered his take on the growing number of church foreclosures. “Certainly, this is unprecedented in our history,” Holbrook said. “Because of the grace factor, churches tend to put off hard decisions,” he added referring to how some churches may see their soured financials as a sign of wavering spiritual faith. Nationwide, Evangelical Christian continues to deal with churches that have not kept up their mortgage payments. In the spring of 2012, it was reported that the Faith Center in Rockford, Ill., owed the credit union $4.17 million after it borrowed funds to expand back in 2007. The center filed for bankruptcy last January. As of March, Evangelical Christian had nearly $2.6 million in loan charge-offs, according to its NCUA Call Report. The bulk of the losses came from members business loans excluding agricultural loans. Loans charged off due to bankruptcy totaled $135,707 year to date. However, the total dollar amount of loans originated by members who either filed for either Chapters 7, 11, 12 or 13 year to date came to nearly $5.3 million. Still, with an 8.11% net worth ratio, the credit union is considered well- capitalized, according to its Call Report. In all, Evangelical Christian had $853 million in business loans as of March. Like the housing market, churches were not immune to the impact of the Great Recession. A 2008 survey by the National Association of Church Business Administration showed that nearly four in 10 congregations had reported a dip in income, 12% had resorted to layoffs and a growing number of churches declared bankruptcy. http://www.cutimes.com/2013/06/19/church-foreclosures-plague-california-credit-union $29M Church Default Heads to Auction By Michelle A.
