ROSEVILLE — A local man convicted of storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6 is now working as a teacher at a church ministry in Roseville.
A house of worship is now also a place of work for January 6 convicted felon Tommy Allan. An Instagram post from Liberty Learning Ministries shows Allen in a classroom where he now teaches photography and art.
That’s in stark contrast to a photo released by the federal government showing Allen inside the U.S. Senate chambers on January 6, 2021. He pleaded guilty to corruptly obstructing official proceedings.
Matthew Oliver is the senior pastor at The Family Church, which runs Liberty Learning Ministries. The church educational program is not accredited and does not call itself a school.
“We believe in redemption and transformation,” Oliver said.
“Where do you stand on January 6 and what it meant to this country?” I asked Oliver.
“What I know is we need to continue to look for things that bring us together,” he responded.
