Kansas City Pastor goes off on congregation calling them “poor, broke busted and disgusted” for not buying him a watch

A Missouri pastor was captured on video berating his “broke” congregation for failing to buy him an expensive Movado watch The New York Post reported.

Pastor Carlton Funderburke of the Church at the Well in Kansas City was giving a sermon about “honoring God’s shepherds” when he talked to his followers for being too poor to give him watchhe’d requested, according to now-viral TikTok footage.

“See that’s how I know you still poor, broke, busted, and disgusted because of how you’ve been honoring me,” Funderburke said during the speech on Aug. 7.

“I’m not worth your McDonald’s money? I’m not worth your Red Lobster money? I ain’t worth your St. John’s knit? Y’all can’t afford it no-how,” he said. “I ain’t worth your Louis Vuitton? I ain’t worth your Prada? I’m not worth your Gucci?”

Funderburke founded the church with his wife, gets on to his members for failing to understand what “God is saying” about how to treat those who deliver his message.

‘”Ooh, you can buy a Movado [watch] at Sam’s [Club] and you know I asked for one last year. And here it is all the way in August and I still ain’t got it,” the pastor says of the watch, which ranges in price between $300 to $3,000.

“Let me kick down the door and talk to my cheap sons and daughters.”

Someone called the pastor a “false prophet”  saying he’s using God for his own material gain.

“It’s the pastor going off on his congregation and calling them broke for not buying him a watch !!! Y’all better beware of these false prophets !!” a woman wrote on Twitter.

Another critic said, “Does anyone know which part of the gospels mentions Movado watches at Sam’s Club? Asking for a friend.”

Funderburke has since apologized stating the “video clip does not reflect my heart or my sentiment toward God’s people.”

“Though there is context behind the content of the clip, no context will suffice to explain the hurt and anguish caused by my words,” Funderburke said in a video posted to the church’s YouTube page.

“I have also privately apologized to our church, who has extended their love and support to me.”
