A North Texas church congregation has made a decision regarding their former senior pastor. The pastor had previously stepped down from his position due to controversy surrounding his employment practices.

The controversy stemmed from the pastor hiring his son, a registered sex offender, to work on the church and school campus. This was done secretly, without the knowledge of the congregation.

The congregation has now voted against reinstating the former pastor, with further details available through FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth.
