Missouri Pastor Rips 'Disgusting' Churchgoers Who Didn't Buy Him A Fancy Watch

A Missouri pastor apologized after a video of his rant about being over his congregation went public.

Carlton Funderburke, senior pastor at Kansas City's Church at The Well, told churchgoers they were "cheap sons and daughters" for not honoring their pastor by buying him a Movado watch.

No more excuses about what you can't afford. Funderburke pointed towards the front of his church and said that he couldn't afford it because he didn't see the value. "Y'all hear from my pastor and father, I'm over y'all." I don't like your expressions. You are poor, broke, and disgusted because of how you have honored me.

Funderburke was applauded for his speech by some churchgoers.

A KC Pastor at “Church of the well” is under fire for calling his members “broke, busted and disgusting due to them not meeting his needs. Many took to Facebook calling him out: “I usually don't do this but I feel very compelled to do so. A pastor from Kansas City, MO literally thought it was okay to stand in front of his congregation, and preach this in a "sermon" to his members last Sunday! & from what I know, THIS is how he REGULARLY preaches and talks to them! Throwing temper tantrums and ALL! So they're "broke, busted, and disgusted" because they didn't get you a Movado watch ?! Smh. This is NOT okay & is ONE of the MAIN REASONS why my generation has strayed away from the church! Feel free to SHARE! This NEEDS to go viral! God did NOT say this!”#pastor#Sad#omg

One TikTok user said that Funderburke made him not want to go to church.

I would have said no pastor. I can't get it. One user wrote, while clutching her coach purse leaving.

They should be leaving instead of cheering.

Funderburke apologized for his comments.

No context will suffice to explain the hurt and anguish caused by my words. I have spoken to those I am accountable to and have received their instructions. I apologized to our church, who has supported me.
