Mark DeFord is pastor of the Leon Bible Church in Leon, Iowa.
The Leon Bible Church is opposed to equality for LGBTQ Americans, insisting that marriage can only be between “one man and one woman.” The church forwards messages that celebrate denial of equal adoption rights to LGBTQ Americans. The Leon Bible Church also preaches a message of “sexual purity”.
The Leon Bible Church teaches its members Creationism, claiming that the sciences of physics, geology, chemistry, and biology are wrong because they contradict the Christian Bible. A message forwarded from the Institute for Creation Research by the Leon Bible Church declares: “there is no such thing as a ‘prehistoric’ time period—all history has been recorded!”
