Dr. Tony Evans of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Church in Dallas, Texas, is stepping away from his senior pastor role after 48 years due to 'sin.'
Dr. Evans, the first Black person to earn a doctorate of theology from Dallas Theological Seminary, founded the Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in 1976 along with his friend Rev. Crawford Loritts.At the time, they had only 10 members and held services in Evans's home with his late wife, Lois. Since then, the church has garnered over 10,000 congregants and has 100-plus ministries.
“When we fall short of that standard due to sin, we are required to repent and restore our relationship with God. A number of years ago, I fell short of that standard. I am, therefore, required to apply the same biblical standard of repentance and restoration to myself that I have applied to others.”
