Beer Church Donates to Planned Parenthood; Pastor Says Jesus Killed By White Supremacy
The pastor of a progressive church where beer is served during services says that Christ was killed by white supremacy, and portions of funds given to his church will benefit abortion giant Planned Parenthood.
Christopher VanHall, who pastors Greater Purpose Community Church, which holds services in a local food lounge in Santa Cruz, California, will soon be opening a brewery and restaurant they converted from an old bookstore. Sunday services will also be occurring there.
"What would it look like to be a church that looked like the movement that Jesus started and not like the church that we know in America today? Out of that consistent questioning came this model for a brewery church that generates funds for local charities," VanHall said in a video interview for NowThis Tuesday.
He further explained that they are environmentalists and openly LGBT-affirming, and are anti-war and feminists as "Jesus was, too."
"We are all for racial justice, which Jesus was a Palestinian, Jewish rabbi, he was a person of color that was killed by white supremacy so we're usually making every effort to be on the front lines for racial justice. So that's what sets us apart from many American churches."
The pastor said he intends to use the funds they raised through the brewery and restaurant to give to local charities that people of "all faiths, all sexual, all racial, and even all faith identities can support."
