(The Roys Report) Hope City Church in Houston, Texas—once touted as the “fastest-growing church in American history”—has just announced that its pastor, Jeremy Foster, has resigned due to an adulterous affair.
Foster’s resignation is the latest in a series of scandals linked to the Association of Related Churches (ARC), one of the largest church planting organizations in North America.
“This week, Pastor Jeremy Foster has confessed to an extramarital affair with a woman not affiliated with Hope City,” Mark Briggs, a Hope City overseer and pastor of Riverpark Church in Shreveport, Louisiana, announced in a YouTube video. Briggs added that Foster would be replaced by Pastors Daniel and Jackie Groves, and he encouraged people to continue supporting the church’s mission.
