“Clayton Jennings’ got an evil streak and a way with words that’ll bring them to their knees. Oh he can play the wildest shows and he can sing so sweet. They still sing along…her tears don’t matter much.” Adapted from Tears Don’t Matter Much by Ben Nichols
Multiple young women reached out to the Pulpit & Pen and Polemics Report with reports of his sexual misconduct. His church, Harbour Shores, revoked his license to the gospel ministry. His mentor, Tony Nolan, ended their relationship. Yet, evangelist Clayton Jennings is still being hosted by churches and Christian venues to speak to young people. He’s still selling Jesus t-shirts. He’s still making videos. He’s even involved his wife on his latest evangelism tour. Below you will find a running list of the venues who have chosen to host Clayton Jennings, who fled from church discipline and denounced the leadership of his church. If you feel led to do so, contact these churches and their pastors and tell them what you know about Clayton Jennings. If any venue has been left off of the list below, please contact Pulpit & Pen.

Pulpit & Pen will post the reaction of these churches and their leadership as they are contacted by concerned parties as it can.
As is the case with disgraced evangelists from Jimmy Swaggart to Ergun Caner, Clayton Jennings probably won’t fully go away. Pulpit & Pen predicts that he’ll keep himself in business by going down the Pentecostal prosperity gospel rabbit hole. Time will tell. God will judge.
