A pastor at a mega-church(US) has been dismissed after allegations that he committed a grave ‘sin’ with a 16-year-old female church member.
Dr Jack Schaap, 54, had been pastor of the First Baptist Church of Hammond in Indiana for 11 years, but was let go after a deacon saw a text on Schaap’s phone from the teenager, allegedly with a picture of the two of them kissing.
