In 2014, 12Stone church was involved in the arrest and conviction of David Justin Freeman, who had been a volunteer minister at the church. Freeman was arrested after 12stone pastor Jason Berry claimed Freeman had given him the middle finger. Freeman's conviction was ultimately overturned in 2017 on free speech grounds. In 2016, 12Stone church was struck by vandals (whom the church reports did $10,000 worth of damage). The vandals left behind pamphlets describing their displeasure with the church's operations, and spray-painted scripture references suggesting that 12Stone church had turned God's house into a market. The church and Kevin Myers (head pastor) have also made headlines for criticizing Colin Kaepernick's decision to protest by kneeling during the national anthem during a sermon, as well as a sermon in 2010 comparing acceptance of homosexuals to acceptance of pedophiles.
