Pastor Steve Lawson of Trinity Bible Church in Dallas has been removed from his position due to an inappropriate relationship, with the church's elders expressing support for his repentance while ensuring the church will continue its biblical teachings. In contrast, Scott Crenshaw, former senior pastor of Lake Country Church in Saginaw, was fired over allegations of viewing inappropriate images, which he and his attorney claim are baseless and part of a rumor mill. Crenshaw, who has a history of similar allegations, plans to seek legal restitution for the damage to his career, asserting that his termination followed an initial offer of support from church elders that was later rescinded. The controversies surrounding both pastors highlight a troubling trend in North Texas churches, with several leaders facing similar allegations this year. Crenshaw’s attorney has indicated that they will pursue a public apology and restoration of his position. The situation around both pastors raises questions about accountability and the handling of misconduct within church leadership.
