“Pastors I Came Across Wanted To Sleep With Me” – Actress, Sarah Martins Reveals Why She Stopped Going To Church

 

Nollywood actress, Sarah Martins has shared her reasons for no longer attending church, despite identifying as a Christian.

She explained that she was once active in church activities but later realized that attending services alone does not guarantee favour with God.

In an interview, she revealed that her decision to stop going to church came after repeated experiences of pastors making unwanted advances toward her in every congregation she joined.

This led her to focus on building a personal connection with God, keeping a promise to remain faithful and live in ways she believes please Him.

Martins added that she now expresses her faith through charity work and private worship, which she said has brought her answered prayers.

“I am not an atheist. I’m a Christian, and I used to be very active in church, but over time I realized that going to church alone doesn’t make you God’s favourite. It’s what you do behind closed doors that really matters.

“Unfortunately, in every church I attended, the pastors started making advances at me. So, I stopped. I built a personal relationship with God and made a promise to stay faithful to Him by doing things that please Him.

"Since then, every time I go down on my knees, He answers. So yes, the pastoral advances pushed me away, but I now worship God in my own way—through charity and personal devotion.”
