A former Shawnee youth pastor who was arrested in late July on complaints involving sex crimes is now formally charged with four felony counts.
Brian K. Burchfield, 42, of Edmond, is charged in Pottawatomie County District Court with four counts of soliciting sexual conduct or communications with a minor by use of technology.
Those charges stem from an investigation by Shawnee police that reportedly involved text messages between Burchfield and several teenagers from the area.
At the time of his arrest, Burchfield’s online LinkedIn page listed him as being the young adult pastor at Quail Springs Baptist Church in Edmond, but he was the former youth pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Shawnee from June 2006 to April 2014.
