Senior Pastor Second Baptist Church
“We received word that the judge has ruled in our favor in the matter before the court and we are deeply grateful. We remain committed to the work God has called us to through this, His church. God is doing remarkable things this summer as we seek to Worship Christ, Walk with Christ, and Win Others to Christ through the power of the gospel.”
Chief Counsel American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ)
“We are pleased with the Court's well-reasoned decision. From the very beginning of this case, we have maintained that decisions about church governance belong to the Church, not the civil courts. As Judge Dorfman recognized, the church autonomy doctrine prevents civil courts from becoming involved in matters that are at the heart of a church's internal governance. We couldn't agree more. Throughout this litigation, the church has sought to honor both its legal obligations and its biblical mission. As a church we remain focused on its ministry, its members, and the work God has called it to do.”
Everything we do is about worshiping Him, walking with Christ and alongside others, and sharing His love so lives are changed for eternity—in Houston and around the world.
