Sunday service came one day after Christmas this year. With it landing on the last Sunday of the year, two churchgoers made sure to handle their unfinished business before the New Year hits.
According to BE, A shocking video from Olivet Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, shows two men throwing hands in the front row while the pastor was speaking.

In a video shared by TMZ, one man is sitting in the first row when another man approaches him and starts throwing punches. The seated man quickly returns the fade and the two churchgoers went at it right in front of Bishop Kevin Adams.
In an interview with the outlet after the melee went viral, Adams said the man in the white shirt had just gotten out of rehab and decided to pick a fight with the youth pastor.
According to TMZ, Bishop Kevin Adams tries in vain to stop the fight, saying, “Stop it, Marcus. Marcus, come on.” It’s unclear how long the fight went on because someone pulled the plug on the Church’s live stream. The Bishop says they were able to calm the man down, and he broke down in tears. The Bishop says the man said he’s going back to rehab, and the church is fully supporting him.
