CLEBURNE (CBS 11 NEWS) – A Johnson county church has voted in a sex offender as its new leader.
Some say they didn’t know that piece of information about Claude Gilliland III before they voted on whether or not to put him in place as the senior pastor of New Heart Family Worship Center.
The church’s retiring leader says, Carl Roye, says he knew about Gilliland’s past and stands behind him.
“I believe he’s a good man. I believe he’s a Godly man. He puts God first,” said former Senior Pastor Carl Roye.
