The Acts 29 Network has removed its U.S. Vice President of Church Planting, Tyler Jones, from leadership after he confessed to a long-term extramarital relationship, according to reporting by The Roys Report.
The decision was communicated internally on February 25 and confirmed publicly the following day. Acts 29 leadership stated that Jones' conduct was inconsistent with the biblical and character qualifications required for senior leadership within the global church-planting network.
Jones also serves as lead pastor of Vintage Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, a congregation he helped plant in 2002. According to reports, he disclosed the relationship to church elders during a February 18 meeting. While leadership acknowledged the confession, specific details surrounding the relationship have not been publicly disclosed.
In a statement addressing the matter, Acts 29 emphasized its commitment to integrity, accountability, and pastoral standards, noting that senior leaders are held to clear expectations regarding moral and spiritual conduct. The organization did not indicate whether further disciplinary or restorative processes are underway.
The removal marks a significant development within the influential evangelical network, which operates globally and partners with hundreds of churches in church-planting initiatives. Acts 29 has previously underscored the importance of character and theological alignment among its leaders, particularly in roles with national influence.
The situation has prompted renewed discussion within evangelical communities regarding leadership accountability, transparency, and the processes by which ministry organizations address moral failure among senior pastors and executives.
At this time, neither Jones nor Vintage Church has released a detailed public statement beyond acknowledgment of the confession.
