After nearly five decades of leading the 11,000-member Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Church in Dallas, Pastor Tony Evans revealed in June 2024 that he had fallen short of biblical standards a number of years prior, and his failure was serious enough to warrant stepping away from his ministry. 

Evans, 75, did not reveal the nature of the sin but was quick to point out that he had not violated any civil or criminal laws.

"The foundation of our ministry has always been our commitment to the Word of God as the absolute supreme standard of truth to which we are to conform our lives. When we fall short of that standard due to sin, we are required to repent and restore our relationship with God," Evans said in his confession.

Evans resumed preaching in August with an appearance at the FAMiLY Leadership Summit hosted by The FAMiLY Leader in Iowa, led by President and CEO Bob Vander Plaats.
