Another Dallas pastor fired for inappropriate relationship with woman
DALLAS - Another North Texas church is removing its lead pastor.
Trinity Bible Church of Dallas fired Steven Lawson for an inappropriate relationship with a woman.
Church elders made the announcement on Thursday, saying they became aware of the relationship several days ago.
"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. Steve will no longer be compensated by Trinity Bible Church of Dallas," the church said in a statement.
Lawson has served the church since 2018.
