In the 1990s, Carlton Pearson was pastor of one of the largest churches in the nation. He regularly drew 6,000 people a week to his services at Higher Dimensions Family Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 1993, he married life coach Gina Pearson. Through the rest of the 90s, he had one of the most-watched shows on TBN, filled stadiums with his evangelical conferences, and was ordained a bishop. His Azusa conferences alone would draw upwards of 50,000 people each year. Then he decided his beliefs were all wrong, and, by 2002, the Oral Roberts University trained preacher changed those beliefs to accept the doctrine of inclusion.

By 2005, his church had less than 20 percent of its membership and by 2006 his building was foreclosed upon.
