Support Phase I Of Pastor Carswell’s Legal Defense

Pastor Rufus Carswell is facing a serious legal challenge after a Materialman's and Mechanic's Claim of Lien was filed against his property by Pastor Charles W. Dowell. The lien claims a sum vastly disproportionate to the actual value of Pastor Carswell’s property. As a result, Pastor Carswell’s property has been encumbered, preventing him from selling or transacting his property. This has forced his family to leave the home they have lived in for over a decade and use every available asset to defend against these claims. The litigation has also deeply divided the faith community, causing distress and uncertainty among those who have long relied on Pastor Carswell’s leadership.

Funds raised through this effort will be used to cover legal expenses already incurred and the unpaid portion of those expenses, including attorney fees, legal answers, counterclaims, initial discovery actions, and pre-trial motions. With critical deadlines for further discovery and amended answers approaching in just a few weeks, immediate financial support is needed to ensure Pastor Carswell can continue his defense. If an equitable resolution cannot be reached soon, additional funds may be required for more complex legal proceedings and a potential trial.

He is a true shepherd to the community of faith, always willing to admit fault, repent, and correct his course when necessary. His actions are guided by a desire for the posterity and liberty for all in the faith, and he consistently puts the needs of others before his own. Supporting Pastor Carswell in this time of need is not just about helping one man—it’s about standing up for integrity, truth, and the well-being of the entire community of faith.
