LAY-OFF Worksheet for Highpoint.

Wayback Machine disabled for Meet the Staff beginning on July 1,


2018. I know of no other person who cached these records. Of the 6 Arlington staffers only two were
laid-off and they were two of the lowest paying positions. The other four were given new job titles and
are all still on staff. So the Arlington layoff had little to no impact on the severance figures. Voluntary
resignations would also not result in severance. Those at Highpoint said that the few employees who
received any severance were between 2-4 weeks only. ALL of that would be paid off by July, meaning
the $572K in accrued severance still left to pay at 7-31-18 year end would include NO Arlington staff. It is
a myth that the closing of Arlington is in the $572K amount.

Highpoint Arlington Staff:

Dustin May Arlington Campus Pastor

Whitney Clay Arlington Exec Assistant & Project Mgr

Jordan Dudek Arlington Student Intern (Gone by June 2018) low to no paid

Bridget Hutchinson Arlington Preschool Director

Andrew Smith Arlington Worship Leader

June 27, 2018

Dustin May Transferred to Collierville Teaching and community pastor new position

Whitney Clay Transferred to Director of Connect and Equip

Bridget Hutchinson Transferred to Connect and Equip Assistant

Andrew Smith Transferred to Create Director on Worship Team at East Memphis

For all of the staff that were terminated either voluntarily or via lay-off, the following people marked as
“GONE” were let go at some point during the month of June or earlier and simply had been removed by
the fourth week of June. That means virtually all of the severance would be completely paid out during
the 5-9 weeks leading up to the July 31, 2018 year end. These were also all lower-end jobs. It is likely
that the only severances at year end were for the Conlees who were let go according to them on June
24, 2018 although it was July 11, 2018, according to the Trustees.

It appears that the Strydoms and Liz Stone, who worked for Chris directly, left sometime after him, so it
is not known if any severance was included in the $572K. This should not be difficult for Highpoint to
clear up. They were neither pastors nor executives. They provided administrative support for pastors
and executives so this amount, if any, is likely not material and their termination dates are likely to have
been after July 31, 2018, as Highpoint was still evaluating positions in the wake of Chris Conlee’s
termination only announced in Mid-July. That would indicate that the amounts would not be included in
the $572K accrual amount.

It appears that the majority of the $572K still left to pay on the $687K severance packages would have
been for the Conlees. Certainly Andy Savage should have received no severance as he voluntarily
resigned and had acted in a way which had disqualified himself from ministry. It is highly probable that
he had a moral turpitude clause, if he had an employment contract at all. FTR, it was such a clause that
was invoked by Bakker Books and their imprint, in order to cancel the publication of both Chris and
Andy’s books, so refusing to pay two disgraced and disqualified pastors is an industry norm.
