A 'reverend' forged deed on $4M foreclosed Dallas mansion, court records say. The bank wants it back
Everything about the gated, two-story brick house says: Stay away. The chain blocking the driveway. The locked gate bound by wire. The “PRIVATE PROPERTY NO TRESPASSING” postings. The signs warning of cameras that have the 11,800-square-foot Preston Hollow estate under 24-hour surveillance.
There are other signs, too — one near the front entrance on Alva Court and another affixed to the side gate along Deloache Avenue that say only “GCOGIC-IM.” That stands for Glorious Church of God in Christ International Ministries, whose website says it offers services ranging from prison ministries to homeless assistance. That website says the church was established in the 1970s “by our very own Reverend and psychologist John Mann” and lists 9410 Alva Court as its mailing address.
This six-bedroom, eight-bathroom house was “one of the finest in Old Preston Hollow and a luxury trendsetter” when it was built in 1988, real-estate journalist Candy Evans wrote when it hit the auction block in September 2018. It sits in the heart of a neighborhood where the land alone is worth upward of $2 million, never mind the mansions occupied by some of Dallas’ wealthiest, among them Mark Cuban.
As far as Dallas County is concerned, the 66-year-old Mann and his church own this $3.7-million estate once owned by Norman Brinker, the late fast-casual restaurateur, and wife Nancy.
