Megachurch Pastor Pete Wilson — Who Stepped Down Because He Was ‘Tired’ and ‘Broken’ — Finds a New Job


(YouTube Screenshot/Cross Point TV) Pastor Pete Wilson, who resigned from Cross Point Church this September, has found a new job with The A Group.

Pastor Pete Wilson from Cross Point Church in Nashville, Tennessee shocked his congregation last month when he announced his resignation, citing feelings of being extremely “tired” and “broken” as the reason.

Now, the broken-down pastor has managed to get back on his feet by securing a new job. He will serve as the president of the church consulting group called The A Group, which is a non-profit church marketing firm that blends “proven marketing strategies with cutting-edge tools to help our clients reach more people and achieve greater results.”

“I have known Pete for a long time and know his heart for ministry, as well as the deep knowledge and wisdom he has acquired during his time leading large, growing organizations,” CEO Maurilio Amorim says in a statement released to Charisma News. “Being able to offer his invaluable experience and counsel to other leaders is an honor.”

As for Wilson, he is quite excited to take everything he learned at Cross Point and “partner with hundreds of other pastors and ministry leaders to help them navigate the often unpredictable waters of ministry and reach their full potential.”

“This opportunity allows me to find the personal rest and balance I need, while also continuing to serve God and the local church with my gifts and passions,” he says.

Wilson, who founded Cross Point Church in 2003, bared earlier that he was so busy prioritising other people’s needs that he neglected his own. The pastor said people only sees what he does every Sunday, but “what happens in between those Sundays is just as important and it requires a lot of leadership and it requires a lot of leadership energy.”

Wilson explained that leaders who feel empty on the inside don’t lead well. As such, he believes it is time he focus on filling himself up. “And so I believe that the best thing for me to do is to step aside from Cross Point and so I am officially resigning as the pastor of Cross Point Church,” he announced, as he asked for prayers and support from his congregation.
