Christopher Smith

Christopher Smith was a theology major at Oral Roberts University, but was expelled because of failing grades. Despite this, he maintained that he was an expert in religious matters and often tried to impart his “wisdom" to Pastors Robbie and Jan and members of the church. Several years later, it was discovered by Christopher's own admission that he had been living a secret life of sexual addiction that began long before he joined the church. Even before coming to HWCC, Christopher stated that he was caught by the staff at Oral Roberts University masturbating and watching pornography in the university's computer lab. Although this type of conduct was clearly in violation of ORU's honor code, no consequences were administered by the school and his later expulsion was a result of poor grades, not his public masturbation or watching of pornography. After coming to the church, Christopher never asked for counseling for his sexual issues. In fact, it was not until the end of his membership at HWCC that Christopher admitted to sexual deviance that included masturbating at the restaurant he managed, masturbating at his apartment as he watched his male roommates sleep, and regularly purchasing videos and “sex toys” at a local novelty shop. After sharing the sordid details of his double life to roommates, who in turn, shared these things with their pastors, Christopher was asked to either change or leave the church. He opted to leave the church. At no time was he beaten or threatened by the church or pastors. Perhaps his unpaid loan is the reason why this young man has joined with other ex-members to discredit this wonderful church. Now, this same person, a year and a half after leaving the church, has vowed to bring shame to the congregation of HWCC because of his own disgrace and loss. After this information regarding his double life, his fiance, had nothing more to do with him but rather embraced the teachings of holiness and sexual purity that is taught within Harmony Worship Center Church.
