Texas church fires senior pastor after he's charged
with possession of child porn
Calvary Chapel of The Woodlands in Texas, which hosts services in the auditorium of McCullough Junior High School has announced the firing of their longtime pastor, Bruce Hollen, 63, following his arrest for possession with intent to promote child pornography.
The firing came on May 8, the same day authorities arrested the married father who has two daughters and a son, for allegedly promoting and distributing naked pictures of young girls ABC 13 reported.
“The board of Calvary Chapel of The Woodlands has discussed the allegations against Pastor Bruce Hollen and has unanimously decided effective immediately that as of 5/8/2024, Bruce Hollen is stripped of his role as lead pastor of Calvary Chapel of the Woodlands,” the church said in a statement on their website which has largely been disabled along with most of their social media pages.
“The board hereby has determined that Bruce Hollen no longer has authority, authorization, or permission to conduct any business on behalf of Calvary Chapel of the Woodlands,” the church added. “He may not hold himself out as a leader in any capacity for the church, and he may not speak on behalf of the church in any capacity.”
Hollen’s arrest, according to authorities, came as a result of a sting operation focused on internet crimes against children.
The girls in the photos Hollen had in his possession were between the ages of 9 and 12 authorities said and they were naked from the waist down. Some of the young victims were engaged in sexual acts.
Parents of young girls in that church must be in a state. Even if their kids were not involved in the pastors porn collection, just wondering what he was thinking when he looked at them or touched them would be pretty sickening. Hollen's own kids must be pretty grossed out. How could a Christian think God would allow him to get away with such evil?
Hollen is currently jailed on a $30,000 bond.
