Celebration church in Jacksonville is in a legal dispute with its founding pastors
Stovall and Kerri Weems, who founded Celebration Church in 1998, filed a lawsuit for injunctive relief against Celebration Church on February 23, alleging a church trustee was improperly billing the church and was setting the scene to oust Stovall Weems from the church he built. The Weemses also said they’ve been threatened with arrest if they come onto church property.
Stovall Weems appointed Cormier as a church trustee in January 2021 and he was confirmed in June 2021. Stovall Weems confronted Cormier in April 2021 about the billing concerns and Cormier told Weems he reneged on his pledge to donate $1 million of in-kind services to the church and “admitted he never let Pastor Stovall know,” according to the injunction.Stovall Weems said Cormier began feeding other trustees and senior church members lies and misinformation and misleadingly convinced the other trustees that it was Weems who committed misconduct, according to the injunction.
The News4JAX I-TEAM reached out to Kevin Cormier for a response to the allegations, and haven’t heard back. We will add his response to this story as soon as we get it.Celebration Church filed a motion to dismiss the Weemses’ injunction. Celebration Church said the Weemses have “sought desperately” to avoid accountability and transparency.
Advancement of nine months’ salary to Kerri Weems and seven months’ salary to Stovall Weems in violation of Florida statute and the church’s own internal policies, despite neither Stovall nor Kerri Weems performing the duties of the offices that purportedly justified those salaries
