Four women allege sexual abuse by former contractor at North Point Community Church

Four women have filed allegations of sexual abuse against Steve Thomason, a former contract musician and videographer who worked with North Point Community Church in Georgia. Represented by The Stier Group, the women claim the abuse occurred approximately 20 years ago, when they were between the ages of 14 and 22. The allegations include grooming, spiritual manipulation, and various forms of sexual misconduct.

Attorneys for the women state that at least two of the individuals reported the incidents to church staff two decades ago. They further claim that Pastor Andy Stanley and the church’s registered agent were formally notified of the allegations in July 2025. In a message to staff, Pastor Stanley described the claims as "devastating and heartbreaking." He emphasized that Thomason was an independent contractor rather than a direct employee or volunteer of the ministry.

The allegations surfaced shortly before Stanley’s planned transition out of his primary leadership roles at North Point Ministries and the flagship Alpharetta campus, scheduled for 2027. Church representatives have acknowledged the situation, though they have not provided further comment on the specific details of the claims.
