The pastor of 6000 member Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church has resigned. In a release from the church, Gilyard states he left for the good of the congregation and that, "In life, there comes a time when the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one and the church and its ministry are larger than just me."
The resignation comes as the state attorney's office investigates sexually explicit text messages sent to the underage daughter of a church member late last year.
The investigation showed the obscene messages came from Gilyard's cell phone, according to authorities.
No charges have been filed against Gilyard. The investigation is ongoing.
