Megachurch Pastor Retired After Arrest for Soliciting Prostitution

The Rev. John F. Fiedler, a former minister at the nearly 15,000-member Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas, retired last month following an arrest for solicitation of prostitution at a massage parlor whose new owner was known by authorities for promoting prostitution, according to police and court records.

Fiedler, 72, had been a pastor at HPUMC from 2013 until his retirement on Dec. 31, 2024. Church records show Fiedler joined the megachurch in 2013, where he preached at the 11 a.m. sanctuary service until he was chosen to direct the Mark Craig Leadership Network to train servant leaders.
