Has Pastor Perry Noble been Fired from NewSpring Church?

Has Pastor Perry Noble been fired from his megachurch NewSpring Church? Speculation about Noble's departure surfaced on social media late this week, but church officials have not answered questions about his status.
According to the Christian Post, Noble was allegedly fired for issues relating to a "terrible marriage, alcoholism and maybe more." Suzanne Swift, a spokeswoman for the church, has responded to the speculations by saying that the mega-church will address the issue this Sunday.
She writes: "I would love to invite you to join us at church this Sunday to learn more from Perry and NewSpring Church, We will have services on Sunday at 9:15, 11:15, 4 and 6 at our Anderson Campus located at 2940 Concord Road. Let me know if you'll be able to be there!"
New Spring Church, one of the fastest growing churches in South Carolina and the nation, is expected to address speculation Sunday about whether its founding pastor, Perry Noble, is leaving.
Noble, 45, started the Anderson-based church less than 20 years ago. What began with an apartment-based Bible study with eight attendees has grown into a megachurch with 17 campuses across the state, including the Midlands, and more than 30,000 people attending weekly services.
In 2014, Noble surprised everyone with the admission that he had been taking anti-depressant drugs since 2012 to fight anxiety attacks.
He said his struggle with anxiety and depression began in 2008, which continued for years. He first refused taking anti-depressants and was able to pull through with biblical counseling.
He later wrote a book entitled "Overwhelmed" based on his experience. However, while writing the book, the attacks came back. It was during this time that he decided to take anti-depressant medicines.
Noble said it was one of the best decisions he has ever made, and he was not ashamed to announce he is taking the meds.
"It really has clarified my thinking, made me way less of an emotional basket case and allowed me to make better decisions," he wrote on his blog.
