OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM CORY BOWMAN, PASTOR OF THE RIVER CHURCH CINCINNATI
On Saturday, October 18th, 2025, during our preparation for service of our church at 503 Clark Street, we discovered a bullet hole that had penetrated an exterior window on the Clark Street side of the building.
An official report has been filed with the Cincinnati Police Department, who have been very helpful. As the building was unoccupied during the incident, it has been classified as property damage.
It is worth noting that, over the past week, there have been several negative social media posts, specifically regarding my family’s personal residence and the church’s address. Posts that are made due to the nature of our current mayoral campaign.
Throughout this campaign, we have encountered negativity, unfortunately including threatening messages directed at our church, business, and family. Despite these challenges, we have adapted and made decisions to continually prioritize the safety and security of my family and those around us.
This Sunday, I will be attending a previously scheduled appointment at another local Cincinnati church and will not be present for our morning service. However, our associate pastor, Bobby Symes, and my wife, Pastor Jordan, will deliver powerful messages of faith.
I want to assure our congregation and anyone planning to attend tomorrow’s Main Event service at 10AM that we will have the proper security measures and personnel in place. The safety of the families and individuals in our church has always been, and will continue to be, our top priority.
We will not be intimidated or deterred by any obstacles. Our life’s work is to positively impact the people of Cincinnati, and that commitment remains unwavering.
We love you and look forward to seeing you at The River Church Cincinnati tomorrow at 10AM for our Main Event service.
For Cincinnati,
Pastor Cory Bowman
@elonmusk@SpaceX Our enemies are loving this infighting.
Elon, you and President Trump changed the political landscape. The American people love you both.
All of this can be resolved.
Donald Trump was mocked for sounding the alarm on the California water/fire crisis during his interview with Joe Rogan.
Turns out, he was right.
Trump spent nearly 7 minutes ranting about the issue, blasting Newsom for doing nothing to fix the problem.
Trump specifically discussed the Californian Delta Smelt controversy, where rainwater is wasted by being directed into the Pacific Ocean to protect a tiny fish species.
"You know in Los Angeles, you can't get proper amounts of water."
"In order to protect a tiny little fish, the water up north gets routed into the Pacific Ocean. Millions and millions of gallons of water gets poured [into the Pacific]."
"I got it all done. Nobody could believe it. It was all done. I said, I got it. You got so much water. All you have to do is sign, and [Newsom] didn't wanna sign."
"Every time I go to California, I say you have so much water. They don't know it... I'm telling you, people living in Beverly Hills, they turn off the water. Same thing with the electric."
America faces a recruiting crisis in our military and multiple zones of danger, including at our southern border. We need strong leadership at DoD and we need it now.
The Senate must confirm Pete Hegseth, and do so quickly.
