The Secretary of State's Securities and Charities Division, the agency that determines whether an organization qualifies for tax exemption, has demanded an explanation from the Ebenezer Building Foundation, which is operated by Raphael Warnock's Ebenezer Baptist Church, of its charitable status in the state of Georgia.
"The Division's records indicate that Ebenezer Building Foundation, Inc [...] is not registered as a charitable organization with the State of Georgia," the Securities and Charities Division wrote in an Oct. 12 letter.
In fact, they collect money from low income housing and have gone as far as initiating eviction notices on poor people owing as little as $25.88 in outstanding rent. Between February 2020 and September 2022, a dozen eviction lawsuits were filed against residents.

Warnock is the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church and a principal officer of the Ebenezer Building Foundation and makes a comfortable living as such.
The Oct. 12 letter continued, "Accordingly, if Ebenezer Building Foundation is soliciting charitable contributions and operating as a charitable organization in the State of Georgia without an active registration or applicable exemption, it is in violation of O.C.G.A. § 43-17-5, and therefore, is subject to administrative penalties under O.C.G.A. § 43-17-13."
Neither Ebenezer Baptist Church nor Ebenezer Building Foundation replied in writing by the Nov. 2 deadline.
Officials must now decide whether to up the pressure on the church's foundation via subpoena if they continue to refuse answering the state's inquiry, a spokesman for the state's charities division said Thursday as reported by the Washington Free Beacon.

The Ebenezer Baptist Church pays the so-called reverend $7,417 in monthly allowance as it is 99% owner of the Columbia Tower at MLK Village, the residence that is intolerant of poor people late on their rent.

Eight tenants at Columbia Tower, which is also run by Columbia Residential and described as a haven for the "chronically homeless" and those afflicted with "mental disabilities," have been handed eviction notices since early 2020 for owing an average of $125 in rent.
So ask yourself, what would Jesus do?
