Last month, Pastor John Gray drew national attention when he presented his wife, Aventer, with a Lamborghini that starts at $200,000 as an anniversary present. The Relentless Church pastor deflected criticism in part by emphasizing that the car was not paid for with any church money.
At the time, Gray was living in a $1.8 million home that was bought by the church in October. Church leaders said the Relentless-owned home was needed to attract a leader of Gray’s caliber.
The house in the Southampton community in Simpsonville is 7,247 square feet, consistent with the size and value of about 25 homes in the community.
The existence of the church-owned residence was brought to The Greenville News’ attention through a tip from a reader. The News verified the ownership of the home through property records and real estate transactions.
