Micah Beckwith (R) poses with Dr. Sue Pallekonda (L) and Dr. Vinod Pallekonda (R) for the opening of Life Church’s new medical clinic Perpetual Health Regenerative Medicine Clinic, July 25, 2026. Life Church does not answer requests for comment. Pallekonda is a licensed physician and one of the board members who supported keeping Nathan Peternel at the church. Through its rapid ascent from 2020 to 2025, Life Church grew into a political operation which helped put Beckwith and other church members in the lieutenant governor’s office. National and state Assemblies of God leaders have refused to comment on the Life Church scandal publicly.
