JaCo authorities raid Independence House of Prayer
Jackson County sheriff’s deputies searched the House of Prayer (1706 N. Jennings Road) in Independence Monday night and, according to KMBC channel 9, arrested the church’s pastor on “suspicion of federal firearms violations.”
The pastor’s name has not yet been released, and there’s not a lot of info out there. KMBC did report that this raid is connected to “a year-long investigation” and “the search warrant listed computers, records and firearms.”
KMBC also referred to the House of Prayer as the “New Covenant House of Prayer.” The address of the church also shows up under “New Covenant Faith Center” in Google searches.
A nearby home was also searched, KSHB channel 41 reported.
