New York Nazarene pastor fired for ‘wrongdoing’ starts new church

Summary by The Roys Report
A Nazarene pastor near Binghamton, New York, was fired for “wrongdoing.” But weeks later, the same pastor — Jarrod Allen Geistdorfer — started a nearby church, focusing on redemption. In late 2025, the Upstate New York District of the Nazarene learned of allegations against Geistdorfer, then pastor of Owego Church of the Nazarene (ON). Olivia Metcalf, district superintendent, told The Roys Report (TRR) that the denomination responded promptly.
