We are saddened to hear the news of Sam Allberry’s resignation from Immanuel Church, Nashville, USA, following the disclosure of an inappropriate relationship with a man in 2022.
We have no further information beyond the statements issued by Immanuel Church and The Gospel Coalition, but we will be reaching out to Sam for clarity and to offer support. During this process we are suspending Sam as an Associate Speaker for OCCA, but we will not be removing content by Sam at this time, pending these further discussions.
We do understand that news like this can be deeply unsettling for people. If this is you and this news has raised issues for you personally, please do speak to your church leaders, contact support helplines like ThirtyOne:Eight or check out Living Out’s website for support and resources.
Please do join us in praying for Sam and all those involved.
The OCCA
