Baptist Pastor Kenny Baldwin ‘removed from all ministry responsibilities’ Following Child Sexting Allegations

Prominent VA pastor Kenny Baldwin has been “removed from all ministry responsibilities” at Crossroads Baptist Church in Bailey’s Crossroads following allegations that he confessed to sending more than a dozen sexual images to a teenage boy.

In a statement earlier this week, the church shared their decision to curtail his employment, while noting they were “cooperating fully with the appropriate authorities and is seeking both biblical and legal counsel as we move forward.”

Baldwin was also excised from the board of Veritas Baptist College where he previously served, with the Board of Directors writing :

“The conduct alleged in the charges is reprehensible, sinful, and in direct conflict with the biblical standards, moral character, and leadership qualifications that Veritas Baptist College upholds for all trustees, faculty, staff, and leaders.”

Pensacola Christian College, which previously had Baldwin as a guest speaker, also chimed in.

Baldwin is married and has 5 children. He’s facing 13 felony and misdemeanor charges for his actions and faces more than a dozen years in prison. He has a preliminary hearing on Aug 10.
