A Dallas, Texas pastor has been removed indefinitely from the church he has served at since 2018 due to him having an "inappropriate relationship" with a woman, according to the church's leadership.
Trinity Bible Church announced the removal of Steven J. Lawson on its website after its elders became aware of his relationship "several days ago." The church did not detail the nature of the relationship or identify the woman.
"The elders have met with Steve and will continue to come alongside him and pray for him with the ultimate goal of his personal repentance," the church said. "Steve will no longer be compensated by Trinity Bible Church of Dallas."
Lawson, 73, has served as a pastor for over 40 years in Arkansas and Alabama before he became the lead preacher at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas, according to his profile on OnePassion Ministries, a ministry he founded and is president of.
"In light of this, may we be reminded that we are ALL sinners, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners - and Christ remains Head of His Church, which is bigger than any fallen man," according to Trinity Bible Church. "In fact, Jesus Christ will continue to lead His Church, including Trinity Bible Church here in Dallas, just like He has from the start of this work on Jan. 5, 2018."
"We would ask for your prayers for the elders, for our Body, and for Steve and his family," the church statement reads.
