Justin Rhodes was the pastor of Big Creek Baptist Church in Soso, Mississippi. He also served for a time as Vice-President and as President of the Baptist Missionary Association of America, an organization of more than 1100 churches. He was relieved of his duties as pastor and president due to a “moral failure” in 2021.
What the moral failure was is unknown, but in 2025, he was arrested for molesting a child. The incident is reported to have happened on a choir trip to Disney World.
His trial is currently scheduled for December, 2025.
