The pastor of the church is getting kicked out by three people in the congregation that are making a huge stink over things he has done.
One of the main reasons they are pissed off is because instead of planning a youth trip he gave the project to the board.
This would normally be legitimate, but they seem to forget that they asked him not to be a part of the youth group about 5 or 6 months into his ministry.
They have visited him 0 times about any of the complaints they had, and waited until it was time to move the pastors around to say anything! It's ridiculous and the negativity is winning over the good ones because the good ones don't want to offend their neighbors.
I want to help but I don't know what to do. This is the methodist denomination. I was thinking about contacting the district super intendant or the bishop about it, but I don't know if it will help. The ball might already be rolling to fast to stop. What do I do please help.

I used to be a hard core pentacostal apostalic. However, when I looked at the way the people in the church acted; I realized they only knew the bible not God. Remind them about the beam in their eye.

There probably isn't much you can do.
Being a minister requires a person to be "in charge," and the very fact that there has been a semi-successful move to oust him implies that he is unable to keep "in charge."
You might need to find another church, if yours has gotten toxic. On the other hand, if you get a new minister, the situation will probably be better for everyone- including your current minister, who might get a churchwith less psychos.

Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer:
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus Knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
