Bible Center Pastor Relocating

Longtime city pastor resigns
Thornton leaving Bible Center for church in California

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Shawn Thornton, the charismatic lead pastor of the Bible Center Church at Southridge Centre, resigned suddenly to take a similar job with a church in California.

Thornton read his letter of resignation to a tearful congregation Sunday, said Lee Walker, associate pastor for administration. Thornton made his decision Aug. 11, Walker said, but had been seriously considering the matter since mid-July after visiting the California church twice this summer. ...

He said he will preach one last time at the church this Sunday and move to California in mid-September.
