Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship Revokes Dr. Tony Evans’ Pastoral License Amid Personal Accountability Case
Dallas, TX — In a stunning development that has sent ripples through the Christian community, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship (OCBF) has reportedly revoked the pastoral license of its founder and senior pastor, Dr. Tony Evans. The announcement was made following what the church describes as a case of “personal accountability,” though specific details have yet to be officially confirmed.
Dr. Evans, a highly respected pastor, author, and speaker, has long been known for his deep biblical teachings and community leadership. He founded OCBF over four decades ago and built it into one of the most influential predominantly African American churches in the United States. Evans is also widely recognized as the first African American to publish a full-Bible commentary and study Bible.
The church issued a brief statement indicating that the decision to revoke his license was the result of internal review and “a matter requiring accountability and restoration.” However, the statement stopped short of outlining the nature of the situation, asking instead for prayers and privacy for Dr. Evans and the OCBF family during this time.
Sources close to the matter suggest the church leadership and Dr. Evans mutually agreed upon the step as part of a restoration process, rather than as a punitive measure. While speculation about the specifics has grown online, church leaders have urged members and the public to refrain from drawing conclusions until more information is available.
Dr. Evans has not yet issued a personal statement but is expected to address the congregation and the public in the coming days. As the story develops, the Christian community remains hopeful that the pastor’s longstanding legacy of faith and service will guide both him and the church through this difficult chapter.
