RED — former pastor Todd Gwennap (sermons through April 2021) signed the 2020 Warhurst Protest as TE. Per Bayly's June 2025 update, no signers have publicly repented. Pulpit transition watch: Gwennap appears to have transitioned out (now writing as commentator outside the congregation); cultural posture under Lindberg requires fresh assessment.

Caution

Accountability Structure

Denominational home, elder plurality, or external network — is the pastor answerable to anyone?

YELLOW — historical PCA pastor on Warhurst Protest list. See warhornmedia.com and savethepca.com.

Caution

Assessment

Christ the King Church (Midlothian, TX) is a PCA congregation in North Texas Presbytery meeting at 'The Old Gym' in downtown Midlothian. Former pastor Todd Gwennap signed the December 2020 Warhurst Protest as TE; sermon archive shows him preaching through April 2021. Current pastor is Dave Lindberg. Cultural posture established under Gwennap's tenure remains an open question for the current pastorate. Yellow — needs discernment, watch for fresh signals under Lindberg.

Enrichment Notes

Lindberg confirmed pastor via ctktexas.com About page. Gwennap sermon archive ends April 2021; he wrote 'Against Overture 8' (PCA polity piece) in Feb 2026 from a non-Christ-the-King context, suggesting departure. Warhurst signature stands historically against the congregation — the pulpit-transition note follows the Grace Mosaic / Trinity Grace SA precedent of preserving the cultural-drift flag through pastoral handovers.
