Federal agents raided the home of Pastor Greg Locke in Wilson County, Tennessee, on July 17, 2026. Locke, the founder and senior pastor of Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, disclosed the search to his congregation during a Sunday service.
Locke said roughly 60 federal agents arrived at his property. He told church members the investigation involves church finances and unspecified allegations. No charges have been publicly filed as of July 29, 2026.
The FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice have not issued a public statement about the search. Locke has been a prominent and often controversial figure in conservative Christian circles, known for his outspoken political commentary and large tent revival events.
Global Vision Bible Church has a significant online following. Locke said he intends to cooperate with investigators and that he has nothing to hide. He asked his congregation to pray for his family during the process.
Legal experts note that a search warrant does not indicate guilt. Federal investigations of this type can take months or years before any charges are brought, if at all.
The case has drawn attention from both Christian media and national news outlets. Several Christian legal advocacy organizations have offered to assist Locke if needed.
