Texas Pastor Fired From ANOTHER Church For Watching Por* at Work Denies Accusations
A Fort Worth pastor who was fired from his church after being accused of watching pornographic content at work is claiming he was wrongfully terminated and is seeking to get his job back.
In 2016, Scott Crenshaw was fired from his job as senior pastor at New River Fellowship Church after it was discovered he’d been using the church’s computer to access “inappropriate images.” The story went viral and Crenshaw sought counseling at Pure Desire, which deals in recovery from sex addiction.
He had a quick stint at Tabernacle of Praise before becoming the senior pastor of Lake Country church in 2018, but then he was abruptly terminated two weeks ago after claims that he’d been caught up to his old sins. Crenshaw hired an attorney, Mark Lane, who told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:
“(Crenshaw) has not looked at any inappropriate images. That is an absolutely baseless claim on behalf of the elders. They’ve engaged in nothing but rumor mill and scandalous discussion with employees with malice,”
Crenshaw, who is married and has four children, is seeking a public apology from the church and is calling for the elders to restore his position as senior pastor. Furthermore, he is seeking financial compensation for damages suffered due to the allegations. According to FWST:
When the elders were first made aware of the allegations, they initially offered for Crenshaw to take a 60-day sabbatical in his support, Lane told the Star-Telegram. The elders then rescinded their offer, offering a 90-day leave of absence. Two days after the offer for him to temporarily step down, Crenshaw was fired, according to Lane.
