Four women have accused Steve Thomason, a former contract musician and videographer associated with North Point Community Church, of sexually abusing them about two decades ago. Pastor Andy Stanley said church leaders first learned of the sexual abuse allegations in 2025. Two of the women say they told church staff about the alleged abuse roughly 20 years ago.
The women, who have remained anonymous, were approximately 14 to 22 years old at the time of the alleged incidents, according to an Oct. 30 statement from their attorneys. Their allegations include grooming, spiritual manipulation and sexual abuse. One woman said she met Thomason through North Point's high school program at 16 and alleged that he sexually abused her when she was 17 and he was 34. The attorneys said the women reported the allegations to law enforcement.
In a Nov. 5 message to staff, Stanley called the allegations "devastating and heartbreaking." He said one woman raised concerns about Thomason with two pastors in 2006 and that her report "did not include or imply sexual misconduct." Stanley said the pastors acted promptly on the information they received. The women's attorneys say they notified Stanley and other North Point leadership of the sexual abuse allegations in July 2025.
The attorneys also raised concerns that Thomason worked on a North Point youth production around October 2025. Stanley told The Roys Report that Thomason was an independent contractor and was between church assignments when leadership learned of the allegations. Stanley said North Point later discovered that Thomason was part of a crew hired under a business name and ended the contract. He said the crew worked on a video set where church staff were present throughout.
Thomason told The Roys Report he was aware of the allegations and declined to comment. The women said they came forward publicly to seek accountability and to reach others who may have had similar experiences.
