CHRISTIAN BREAKING NEWS: What’s Happening at Cross Timbers Church? Argyle TX Executive Pastor Byron Copeland Resigns Weeks after Lead Pastor Josiah Anthony was Asked to Resign [#ByronCopeland #PastorByronCopeland]
A second pastor has resigned at Cross Timbers Church in Argyle, TX.
Executive Pastor Byron Copeland announced his resignation on Monday.
The resignation comes only weeks after Senior Pastor Josiah Anthony was asked to resign.
Anthony stepped down in late July due to “inappropriate actions.”
Cross Timbers initially stated that Anthony had inappropriately interacted with a former staff member, but that they were not aware of any sexual contacts.
More people came forward after the church announced Anthony’s departure, revealing statements he made in texts and on social media that were “sexual in nature.”
Cross Timbers said it supports Copeland’s decision to step away and spend more time with his family.
Toby Slough, the church’s founder, has taken on the job of interim Lead Pastor after Anthony’s departure.
