Police in Middle Tennessee are investigating after a trailer full of bibles was found burning outside a controversial Middle Tennessee megachurch lead by Pastor Greg Locke right before it held Easter service Sunday.
The intentional fire, officials said, took place on a street outside Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, a city about 20 miles directly east of downtown Nashville.
About 6 a.m., police and firefighters responded to a report of a trailer fire at an intersection outside the evangelical church and “promptly extinguished” the blaze, the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office reported.
No injuries were reported by the agency.
The trailer, containing bibles, “had been dropped off in the middle of the intersection and then intentionally set on fire,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a news release.
The church is pastored by controversial Pastor Greg Locke, who has long been outspoken on a host of social and political issues. He has regularly hosted controversial conservative figures at his church, including former Republican operative Roger Stone.
