Statement

January 11 2026 I was asked to not return to FBCT First Baptist Church of Tempe by Individuals, Scott Blum and Pastoral Staff including Sharmon Stiel a Childrens Director. I had written via emaail a concern in months prior, that involved something I witnessed of a male clergy on campus that involved a minor child. I asked that ommunication remain in writing and I was acosted in person more than 3 weeks in a row coercing me to meet in person, I declined multiple times. On January 11 2026 as I sat to eat lunch with friends in the church lunch room, I was again approached by multiple persons, I was told that since I would not meet in person that I could not longer come to church. I do have some communication saved that was in writing reflecting the above statments.
