The man made the gesture at SPAC Nation on Sunday after becoming a Christian.
The weapons were left at the alter as a sign of him turning away from violence.
Leaders at the church then contacted the local police to pick up the weapons.
SPAC Nation has received widespread praise for the way it deals with people turning their lives away from crime. It regularly sees men and women handing over money, drugs and weapons after giving their life to Christ.
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
