Luke Cunningham served as youth pastor at Turning Point Community Church in Lubbock, Texas, and, more recently, at Lakeside Baptist Church in Granbury, Texas. That is where he was working when he was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a minor. Lakeside’s pastor contacted his previous employers to let them know he was being investigated and had been arrested. He was terminated.
The crimes are alleged to have occurred when he was at Turning Point in Lubbock. Turning Point released a statement reporting that they had never been told of any allegations of misconduct. His recent employer, Lakeside, also released a statement and added a criticism of the Southern Baptist Convention with whom they affiliate, “Lakeside Baptist Church stands firmly against clerical sexual abuse. We believe that, if the Southern Baptist Convention had a working database for offenders, we would likely have never been exposed to Mr. Cunningham.”
He is currently in Lubbock County Jail.
