MEMBERS OF CALVARY MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH v. JACKSON

No. A02A1700.

578 S.E.2d 275 (2003)

259 Ga. App. 647

The MEMBERS OF CALVARY MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH et al. v. JACKSON et al.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

February 13, 2003.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

DeLong, Caldwell, Novotny & Bridgers, Edmund J. Novotny, Jr., Charles R. Bridgers, for appellants.

Scott Walters, Jr., East Point, for appellees.

MILLER, Judge.

The members of Calvary Missionary Baptist Church and Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, Inc. appeal from the trial court's order dismissing their lawsuit against Mary Jackson and other former church members for want of jurisdiction. Upon review we find that the subject matter of the lawsuit was secular in nature and did not involve matters of church policy. Since the trial court had jurisdiction to decide this matter, we reverse.
