Woman Gets 5 Yrs. for Stealing Church Funds; Embezzled $450K as Accts Mgr. for Personal Use

 A 52-year-old Texas woman has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years in federal prison as a part of a plea deal, for using more than $450,000 from church funds for personal expenses, the Christian Post website reports today (November 20, 2021).


U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix sentenced Lisa Stabeno from Lubbock, Texas , this week, calling her actions "brazen thefts" from Church on the Rock and ordering her to pay $450,000 in restitution in addition to her prison sentencing.


Stabeno, who worked as an accounts manager for Church on the Rock's "Dream Center," an outreach program for "underserved individuals," pleaded guilty in May to two counts of bank fraud.
