NewSpring Church confirmed on Sunday, July 10 that its founder Perry Noble was fired over an alcohol issue that has “gotten out of hand.”

Executive Shane Duffey announced the news to the congregation during the 9:15 a.m. service. He said Noble was fired for making “unfortunate choices and decisions,” the most pressing of which is his increasing dependence on alcohol.

He also mentioned problems regarding Noble’s marriage and “other behaviors.”

Duffey said it was the “most difficult and painful decision” the church leadership has ever made.
