Steve Lawson Wikipedia, Career, Wife, Family – All About Pastor Removed from Trinity Bible Church for Cheating

Dr Steve J. Lawson, the pastor of Trinity Bible Church of Dallas, Texas, has been removed from his position at the church after cheating on his wife.

Steve Lawson had been lead preacher of the Trinity Bible Church since 2018 and resigned his position after church leaders became aware of his ‘inappropriate relationship’ with a woman.

The church said in a statement: “The elders at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas regretfully announce that effective immediately, Steven J. Lawson has been removed indefinitely from all ministry activities at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas.”

According to the statement, details of Lawson’s indiscretion came to light a few days ago, leading to them to hold a meeting with him during which the next course of action was decided.

“Several days ago, the elders at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas were informed by Steve Lawson of an inappropriate relationship that he has had with a 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.”

Finally, the church added that Lawson will no longer receive any remuneration from the church.

OnePassion Ministries, the ministry Dr Lawson formed to preach the word of God around the world and train others in preaching, also announced he had stepped down.

“The board of OnePassion Ministries mournfully announces that just recently Steven J. Lawson confessed to the board that he has had an inappropriate relationship with a woman, a sin that has disqualified him from ministry. In response Steve has resigned from all his duties at OnePassion Ministries,” the statement said.

The Church added that he confessed and regretted the damage he had caused his family and to the work they do of winning souls for Christ.
