Court records reviewed by The North Carolina Beat show Kingdom City Church, LLC has been evicted out of its Brookshire Boulevard location in Charlotte, after a judge ruled the church owed $75,600 in unpaid rent.
On July 7, 2026, a judge signed a Writ of Possession in favor of the plaintfiff. It directs the sheriff to return the two commercial retail units at 3409 and 3412 Brookshire Blvd to landlord Green Acres, Inc. The judgment itself was entered June 18.
The judge found the landlord proved its case after Kingdom City Church failed to appear at the hearing and was served only by posting. The court stated there was no dispute over the rent arrears amount, which stood at exactly $75,600.
The last payment the landlord received was in January 2026. The original lease had called for rent to rise to $14,500 a month starting June 2025, but the landlord kept the case at the lower original rate of $13,500 per month.
One week after the writ was issued, Kingdom City Church posted an official statement saying they had already concluded their time at the Brookshire location effective July 14.
The statement, signed by Pastor Brian Carn, expressed gratitude for the years there but cited ongoing facility challenges the church said were the owner’s responsibility and had gone unresolved. It admitted the church made the decision to withhold rent payments in 2026.

The statement claimed the owner then required all tenants, including Kingdom City Church, to vacate. It framed the departure as a spiritual step forward, saying faith remained strong and God was leading them into the next season with the mission unchanged.
The court documents tell a more direct story. This was a summary ejectment action for failure to pay rent. The church did not appear to defend itself. The judge ruled for the landlord based on the lease and written default notice presented in court, then signed the order for possession.
This latest setback arrives while Brian Carn is dealing with the aftermath of his May 2026 federal sentencing to nine months in prison after pleading guilty to obstructing the IRS in a separate tax case involving more than $600,000.
