‘All Things Theology’ YouTuber Kris Williams Under Church Discipline

Kris Williams, whose “All Things Theology” YouTube channel has more than 87,000 followers, has lost the endorsement of his congregation and been placed under church discipline. On May 22, pastors of Heritage Grace Community Church (HGCC) in Frisco, Texas, announced, “We can no longer approve or promote [Williams’] ministry in good conscience.”

The church cited an alleged “online, adulterous relationship with another woman,” which Williams reportedly confessed to and ended but then resumed. “Since being confronted again,” the church stated, “Kris refuses to repent and has instead left his family, and is pursuing a divorce.”

Because Williams is “habitually living a double life,” HGCC said, it has placed him under church discipline based on Matthew 18. Public notice was necessary, it added, because “All Things Theology” has been associated with the church, and Williams is no longer a member in good standing.

The church urged Williams to repent and “be reconciled,” and it asked congregants to pray for Williams and his family.

Kris Williams Allegedly Confessed to, Then Resumed, Relationship

In their May 22 statement, HGCC Pastors Lynn Kahler and Landon Kozeny wrote that church elders became aware of Kris William’s alleged online extramarital relationship a few months ago. “While there has not been any physical contact,” they noted, “his wife has provided undeniable evidence from his online Discord chats and phone calls that confirmed this relationship.”

The church’s statement continued:

Kris was confronted and asked by both the elders and his wife to confirm this activity, which he did. He was called to repentance, and to end this online relationship immediately. He confessed his sin, committed to end this relationship, and provided evidence that he had blocked the incoming phone numbers from this woman in an act of repentance.

The elders and another brother of HGCC were proactively keeping Kris accountable to his confession and repentance. However, in a short time, he was contacted again by this woman, and soon after, the online chats and phone calls resumed.

In February, Williams shared on social media that he had “decided to take a step back from making videos” and was “taking a season to prioritize my marriage.” The YouTuber indicated he had “placed ministry over my marriage for a long time” and looked forward to returning to the platform “with a healthy marriage.”

Followers Urge Christian YouTuber To Repent

Kris Williams has not yet responded to the church’s statement. ChurchLeaders reached out to him for comment and will update this article with any reply.

Williams has continued to upload new videos and social media posts. On May 12, he wrote on X, “Too many Christians rejoice over another Christian’s sin.”

On April 27, his wife, Tonia Williams, posted on X, “The love a husband gives his wife, he must give to nobody else in the world. — Charles Spurgeon,” adding, “Just like Christ’s love for His Bride.”

In July 2023, Williams shared that he and his wife had adopted a baby boy.

Social media users are urging Williams to repent and “come home.” One wrote, “Think about your son and the demonstration that will be set before him.” Another told Williams, “You worked too hard to have lust steal [your ministry] from you.”

Several people commended HGCC. “Nice to see this church stand for what is right and keep the church members accountable before God,” someone wrote. “Appreciate this so much.”
