The church’s pastor, Greg Locke, is an outspoken conservative figure who has been featured in news outlets like The Blaze.
His church is known for holding events for burning occult and witchcraft material in the past.
Here’s Pastor Locke’s statement on what happened, from Facebook:
While we can’t confirm exactly who or why someone would do this, many social media users are speculating it has to do with Joe Biden’s ‘Trans Day of Visibility…’

The Tennessean has more details:
Police and emergency crews responded to a trailer fire in Wilson County early Sunday that contained Bibles, according to the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators believe the trailer, located at the intersection of Old Lebanon Dirt Road and Chandler Road near Global Vision Bible Church led by Pastor Greg Locke, was intentionally set on fire at around 6 a.m., according to the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office.
The fire was extinguished by the Mt. Juliet Fire Department.
Locke addressed the trailer fire at Global Vision and said there were “probably 200 Bibles” on the trailer involved. Locke stated that the fire was set in front of an entrance.
“It was 100 percent directed at (Global Vision Bible Church),” Locke said. “It blocked the entrance to our campus and the fact that it was an entire load of Bibles is rather conclusive proof that is was most assuredly directed at us.
ADVERTISEMENT“It did not, nor will it stop us. It was cleaned up in time for people to drive into the parking lot. We had a full house and a marvelous service.”
