Pastor Marvin Winans Is Feeling The Heat For Trashing Church Member Over Tithe

Bishop Marvin Winans has ignited controversy after scolding a church member who made a $1,235 donation. Unlike some pastors who celebrate smaller contributions, Winans confronted the congregant during a service at Perfecting Church for not meeting his requested $2,000 offering. Initially, he called for a "thousand plus one," prompting several attendees to donate two separate $1,000 amounts. However, when one woman approached with $1,235, she expressed her commitment to the church's vision.Winans promptly corrected her, stating, “That’s only $1,200,” and pressed her for the remaining $800. Despite her promise to return with the balance, he maintained his dissatisfaction, insisting that her contribution fell short of his expectations. The incident has since gone viral, raising questions about the expectations surrounding church donations. It has sparked discussions about the balance between faith-based giving and financial pressures that congregants face today.
