Church Leader (Kingsman: The Secret Service)



The Church Leader is a supporting antagonist of the 2015 action-spy-comedy film Kingsman: The Secret Service. He is the founder/leader of a hate group called the South Glade Mission Church.

He was portrayed by Corey Johnson.

Role
The Church Leader was infamous for his racist and homophobic views against many people (mostly Jews, black people and 'fag lovers'). Kingsman agent Harry Hart soon learned that the South Glade Mission Church has a connection with notorious global entrepreneur Richmond Valentine (due to many of the attendants using his SIM cards that grant free lifetime cellular and Internet connectivity). Visiting the church during a sermon, Harry is disgusted by the leader's racism and decides to leave, but this gets noticed by a woman, who started spilling out homophobic remarks on him.

However, noticing the incident through a video transceiver, Valentine activates the SIM cards in the church, triggering a signal that causes all of the attendants (including Harry and the Church Leader) to become murderously violent and attack each other to the deaths. Hart manages to survive the event by using his spy training to kill anyone who tries to attack him while the Church Leader uses an axe to fight back. Noticing Harry in front, the Church Leader tries to hack him with the axe, but Harry uses a spear to impale the Church Leader through his head, killing him instantly.

Despite surviving the slaughter, Harry is left distraught after seeing that everyone in the church is dead. Harry soon learns that Valentine is responsible for the incident just the latter confesses about his true plan to use the SIM cards to exterminate much of humanity for a new world order, and that the event on the South Glade Mission Church was nothing more than a test to see what would happen.
