It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the loss of Tulsa megachurch pastor and gospel recording artist, Carlton Pearson. Pearson, who was 70, died on Sunday, November 19, 2023, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Pearson was a high-profile figure in the religious community, known for his dynamic preaching style and his groundbreaking theological views. He moved to Tulsa in 1971 and quickly established himself as a charismatic leader and a passionate advocate for spiritual enlightenment.
A protégé of the legendary Oral Roberts, Pearson was a leading figure at the Higher Dimensions Family Church in Tulsa. His influence extended beyond the pulpit; he was also a celebrated gospel singer whose music resonated with a broad audience.
However, Pearson’s journey was not without controversy. His rejection of the doctrine of hell led to him being labeled a heretic by some within the evangelical community. Despite this, Pearson remained steadfast in his beliefs, championing a message of universal salvation that challenged traditional religious norms.
Pearson’s agent, Will Bogle, confirmed that the esteemed pastor passed away in hospice care in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The news of his passing has deeply affected the community, with many expressing their condolences and sharing their memories of the influential pastor.
As we reflect on his life and legacy, it is evident that Pearson left an indelible mark on the religious landscape. His fearless approach to theology, combined with his unwavering dedication to serving his community, made him a unique figure in the world of faith.
While we mourn the loss of this remarkable man, we also celebrate the impact he had during his time with us. Carlton Pearson’s teachings, his music, and his compassionate spirit touched countless lives, shaping the way many perceive spirituality and faith.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Pearson’s family, friends, and all who were touched by his life and ministry. May his soul rest in peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire and challenge us.
