"Ventura Unified School District Superintendent David Creswell announced Friday via email that he will resign amid controversy over a 2016 sermon he delivered prior to arriving at the district.
Creswell came under fire earlier this month after the school board was made aware of a sermon he had delivered while an elder at Redeemer Baptist Church in Riverside. In the sermon, Creswell said he was flipping through a yearbook when on the superlative page under “Best Couple” he saw a gay couple embracing. He said, “Oh, boy. Here we go. Here’s our world.”
He said that under “Most Changed” was a transgender woman who was pictured in makeup and a dress, holding a photo of the male she was born as.
“This is the definition of most changed? This is the definition?” he said, according to audio of the sermon, which has since been removed from the church’s website at Creswell’s request. “There’s a growing sector of our culture, of our society, that says that’s good and that’s normal, and not only do they embrace it, we’re now celebrating it.”
