Blaine Bartel, Pastor of Texas Northstar Church Quits Over Infidelity
A North Texas pastor who made a name nationally as a youth ministry innovator and Christian advice book author has resigned from his church, acknowledging, "I have been unfaithful in the marriage vows that I made to my wife."
Blaine Bartel stepped down March 31 as pastor of Frisco's Northstar Church.
"I'm deeply sorry for the pain I've caused her," Bartel said, referring to Cathy Bartel, his wife of 28 years. "I have three incredible boys who are hurt through this. My church [is], of course, and my family and friends."
Bartel, 49, said that he had reported his conduct to one of Northstar's trustees and resigned as pastor to focus on repairing his marriage through intensive counseling.
He declined to provide details. He said he plans to find a job outside church circles.
