Tony Cammarota, an associate pastor at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, was terminated on Sunday following his confession of a moral failure to church leadership. According to a letter addressed to members, the church stated that while Cammarota expressed deep remorse, his actions disqualify him from continuing in his role as a pastor on their staff.
The letter, obtained by Southlake blogger Amy Smith, urged members to refrain from unnecessary speculation and discussion about the matter, cautioning against allowing such conversations to potentially harm the church further.
The nature of Cammarota’s moral failure was not disclosed in the letter, and Stonebriar Community Church has not responded to requests for clarification from NBC 5 regarding whether the incident involved any criminal activity.
Cammarota had served at Stonebriar for 17 years prior to his termination.
Smith expressed concerns over the church’s choice of words, particularly in light of recent events involving other pastors in the region. She described the use of “moral failure” as potentially triggering given the context and public reaction to similar incidents, such as the resignation of Pastor Robert Morris from Gateway Church.
Frisco police confirmed that no reports related to the matter involving Cammarota have been filed.
For now, both Stonebriar Community Church and Cammarota have not issued further comments or responses to media inquiries.
