The man brought in to lead the Richmond Outreach Center is out after two months on the job.
Joe Donahue released a statement on his departure.
“We understood that it would be difficult (a sea of red-flag warnings) but we never anticipated anything like what has occurred since May 22 2014.,” said Donahue. “Despite ongoing encouragement from the Board of Directors, and without warning, I was terminated.”
Joe Donahue was brought in to lead the ROC in the wake of a scandal surrounding former senior pastor Geronimo “Pastor G” Aguilar. Pastor G and three other pastors resigned from the Richmond Outreach Center last year.
Donahue was brought in to replace Aguilar in late March following an extensive search. He came from Georgia to take over as senior pastor.
