Apostle Derek Anthony Rimson from Detroit Mi. Was appointed Pastor of the Liberty C.O.G.I.C By Bishop Charles Edward Blake in late 2004...with no question to the church member who had help pay for the church. Derek Rimson requested the deeds to the church property immediatly and the request was honored. Shortly thereafter Derek Rimson changed the name of the Church from Liberty COGIC to NEW LIBERTY INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST CORPORATION. Naming himself as the fhief executive officer giving his home address in Victorvill, Ca. Secretary Sarah willingham alone with her home address, Minister Brandon Winbush as the Chief Financial Officer with address in Inglewood, Ca In the year 2005 the Month of July the date 28th Pastor Derek rimson made a loan with CAL-VISTA HOME LOAN INC. MORTAGE DOC# [protected] IN THE AMOUNT OF $ 300, 000 LOAN # 1. pASTOR dEREK aNTHONY CONTINUED TO MAKE LOANS ON THE TWO PROPERTY THAT BELONSE TO THE CHURCH MEMBERS UNTIL HE HAD BORROWED OVER ONE POINT SIX MILLIONS DOLLARS ON THE PROPERTY. Using the money for his own personal use and he came back to the church and bragged about it. The Mortage left on the Church property would be well over Ten Thousand dollars a Month. All alone the Members of the church were begging Bishop Charles Edward Blake to come over to talk to this Pastor and the Members; Bishop Blake never came; Until he learned that Pastor Derek Rimson put the Church on the Market to sale. Then Bishop Charles Edward Blake called a meeting...a lot too late. Now as of January 30 2009 THE LIBERTY CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST IS IN THE HANDS OF THE BANKS..IT IS LONG GONE WITH A LOT OF HURT FAITHFUL CHURCH MEMBER WHO SPENT THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY TO PAY FOR THE PROPERTY OWING NOT A PENNY ON IT ..IT WAS PAID FOR; IS NOW IN DISBELIEF. HELP

The LIBERTY CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST LOCATED AT 5300 SOUTH CENTRAL AVENUE IS NOW FOR SALE AS OF JANUARY 30 2010 IS THE CORRECT DATE/ 2009 IS A TYPO ERROR.

THIS IS A SHAME THAT DEREK A RIMSON STOLE ALL THAT MONEY FROM THESE CHURCH MEMBERS PROPERTY. GOD WILL GET HIM AND BISHOP BLAKE. BLAKE WAS TOO BUSY TO HEAR THE CRY'S OF GOD'S PEOPLE. I REALLY FEEL SORROW FOR ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF THAT CHURCH. I AM PRAYINT FOR YOU ALL AND ONLY GOD CAN HEAL YOU OF THIS KIND OF HURT/PAIN. DON'T GIVE UP BE ENCOURAGED GOD HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU. FIND YOU A GOOD BIBLE TEACHING CHURCH AND STAY WITH GOD.
THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF FALSE LEADERS, MONEY LOVER LEADERS, AND THAT THESE THINGS WILL HAPPEN WHEN PEOPLE IS NOT FOR THE RIGHT THING. I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BISHOP CHARLES EDWARD BLAKE DID NOT ANSWER THE REQUEST OF THE MEMBERS; WHEN THEY CALLED OUT SO LOUD FOR HELP. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIS SOUL. HE IS AS GUILTY AS DEREK RIMSON REGARDING THIS CRIME/SIN/ THE CHURCHES EVERYWHERE NEEDS TO PRAY IF YOUR CHURCH IS TIED TO CHARLES EDWARD BLAKE BE WARE OF WHAT HE DID TO THE LIBERTY CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST AND START PROTECTING YOUR CHURCH PROPERTY TODAY!

MARY

The saddest thing about these post, even though it may all be true, he may be a liar and a thief... However the saddest thing is that the Bible specifically tells us not to air our dirty laundry for the world to see. Those who believe there is no God, have good reason everytime we who do believe bicker like this in public. We say we believe that God sees all and knows all yet we attempt to solve things according to the worlds standards. Stop this fighting, pray and watch God move in the situation. How can we win souls and bring people out of darkness into the light if we ourselves are lost!
