The late televangelist Jimmy Swaggart is being remembered following his death earlier this month at age 90.
Thousands filled the pews of the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge on Sunday to give him a huge sendoff.
Swaggart was known as a pioneer when it came to bringing the church into people's homes through television. He founded the Family Worship Center and the Son-Life Broadcasting Network, both of which his family still runs.
He famously responded to a 1988 scandal involving a prostitute by tearfully admitting to sin and adultery during a televised church service.
Swaggart was eventually defrocked by the Assemblies of God church.
