A controversial Williamson County ministry scrutinized for being a cult is selling its 7,400-square-foot house and more than 5-acre lot for nearly $1.4 million.

The 5 bedroom home on Old Natchez Trace northwest of Franklin listed on the real estate service website Redfin is owned by Wayne Jolley Ministries, Inc., according to online Williamson County property records.

A Christianity Today report published in Dec. 2015 revealed serious concerns with how the late Wayne Jolley treated the members of The Gathering International, a small church group connected to his ministry.

Former members told the magazine that Jolley’s ministry took their money, ruined families and covered up accusations of physical and sexual abuse. The church group met at the property on the outskirts of Franklin, the report said.
