The elders of Kootenai Community Church (signed below) have watched with grieved hearts as our brother and faithful minister of the gospel, Justin Peters, has been maligned, slandered, and publicly misrepresented in recent weeks.
Justin and his wife, Kathy, have been members in regular and faithful attendance since the day they moved to the Sandpoint area in October 2014. Both of them have served the body of Christ in their area of giftedness while evidencing humility, gentleness, and a steadfast faithfulness to the gospel of Jesus Christ and to the defense of that gospel (Philippians 1:7).
Justin is, today, and always has been, a man under the authority of his local church eldership. We have been graced with the charge of watching over his soul (Hebrews 13:17), providing leadership, accountability, and support to Justin and his ministry. Through all of this controversy, Justin has handled himself with integrity and uprightness. If any of us had seen something worthy of correction in the manner Justin has comported himself, we would have lovingly dealt with those issues and we are certain Justin would have humbly received that correction.
We wholeheartedly stand behind Justin, his wife, Kathy, and Justin Peters Ministries.

Thank you for taking a strong stand in support of Justin and Kathy and their ministry. The members of Kootenai Community Church are grateful for Justin and Kathy and for our church elders, who teach and preach and live, by example, God’s Word.
Some of you have mentioned that the BTWN video is hard to hear. This one, posted by the Olmsted Falls Baptist Church is clearer and easier to listen to . If this doesn’t clear things up about Justin, then the fault lies in the hearers and not Justin. I thank you brother Justin for your ministry, your gentleness, and yes even your trying to stay out of the fray. I am praying for your family dear heart. It was such a pleasure to meet you this last week-end. Keep on sharing the truth brother. The heart of the matter is the matter of the heart. Sincerely…sister in Christ , Berna Deene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZRBdOoEN6k
We’ve listened to Justin’s ministry for years and we didn’t need an explanation of what’s been going on because we KNOW Justin to be a forthright man of God period.
I personally don’t care for Dr. White, as he comes off arrogant, but that’s my opinion only and he has the right to witness to whom ever.
It is a sad day when Christian leaders with proven track records of faithful service to Christ and His church are subjected to the kind of harsh and unsubstantiated criticism that has been unleashed on Dr. White and Mr. Peters and others by professing Christians that refuse to follow the biblical mandate in regard to conflict resolution within the Body of Christ. May God have mercy on us.
