He Hid $1.3 Million From the IRS. His Church Couldn't Cover $75,600 in Rent.

Green Acres, Inc. filed suit against Kingdom City Church, LLC on April 10, 2026, over two commercial retail units at 3409 and 3413 Brookshire Boulevard in Charlotte, totaling more than 13,500 square feet — the church's own headquarters. The complaint cited unpaid rent and breach of lease. By the time judgment was entered on June 18, 2026, the church owed $75,600 in back rent. Court records show the church did not appear and raised no defense. A Writ of Possession was issued July 7, 2026, ordering the sheriff to remove the tenant and restore the property to the landlord.

Kingdom City Church is led by Brian Carn Jr., 37, who also heads Brian Carn Ministries, Healing House Ministries, and City Church International Fellowship, with additional KCC campuses in Jacksonville, Florida and Houston, Texas. Earlier this year, Carn was sentenced to nine months in federal prison after pleading guilty to obstructing IRS tax collection. According to court records and the Department of Justice, Carn originally reported approximately $1.4 million in income on his 2015 federal tax return, then, after learning he owed more than $600,000 in taxes, amended the return to falsely remove nearly $1.3 million of that previously reported income and had a new accountant report his annual income as $120,000. He is required to pay $1,000 a month in restitution during one year of supervised release.

Carn has also faced public allegations from multiple women. Vashti Ennis has alleged a decade-long relationship marked by manipulation, and described a broader pattern she called "church conditioning" — members taught not to question pastors or name abuse when it happens under the banner of spiritual covering. Mya Love, a former church member, has separately alleged spiritual abuse stemming from an incident in 2020. A third accuser has also come forward, according to The NC Beat. These remain allegations, not court findings.

Pattern: Institutional Accountability × The Crack. A federal tax case reveals over a million dollars deliberately hidden for personal benefit; in the same window, the institution built on collecting tithes from the public couldn't produce $75,600 to keep its own headquarters. The wealth stayed personal. The obligations became public.

What This Reveals: Prosperity gospel ministries sell financial breakthrough as proof of favor. What this case shows is the actual mechanics underneath that promise: money moving toward the platform and its lifestyle, not toward the institution's basic solvency — and a pattern of control allegedly used to keep that arrangement from being questioned.

Movement Sign-Off: Notice the pattern — and stop mistaking the platform for the proof. This is not God. This is a business model with a pulpit attached.
