His weekly sermons are watched by over 32,000 people at 11 satellite campuses across the state of South Carolina with an additional 7,200 viewers tuning in weekly via online live stream. He has gained notability as the senior pastor at the largest church in the South Carolina Baptist Convention and second fastest-growing church in the United States. Noble has recently gained notoriety for controversial remarks made regarding the Ten Commandments during a Christmas Eve service at his church.
Perry Noble was born on June 24, 1971.
Perry has revealed that his mother died of cancer when he was 12, and that this experience made him dislike hospital visits for a long time even after he became a pastor. His father was married several times.
During his time at NewSpring Church, Noble has been involved in several controversies on a national scale. Nigger controversy
During a Christmas Eve service in 2014, Perry Noble sparked an incident regarding the use of what appeared to be the word nigger.
NewSpring Church released a statement in response to allegations that Pastor Noble said the word nigger during his sermon saying,
In regards to your question about the ‘North’ word, Perry doesn’t use that word and doesn’t address anyone in his life by such a word.
He did not use that word in his message and what you perceived as him doing so was matter of words getting jumbled as can happen with anyone who is speaking. Ten Commandments
Following a sermon Noble delivered on Christmas Eve, a controversy aroused regarding his wording at the beginning of his message. He made a claim stating that there was no Hebrew word for "command," when in fact, there was.
Much pressure was put on Perry Noble and on NewSpring Church for this mistake, to the point of a heated tweet on Noble"s Twitter page.
Noble later apologized on his blog for this tweet and his original mistake.
