I am scared this is happening way more than we realize. Mega church pastors have decided to hire church staff that are uneducated and train them. Why in the hell is 2nd Baptist in Houston hiring a 30 year old who was a fireman without a college degree to be their youth minister at one of their satellite campuses?
At the church I grew up in we had an associate pastor who was there forever and in his 60s was convicted of molestation. Who knows how many victims he had.
At Prestonwood BC, the guy that was going to take Jack Graham’s place was charged with child porn.
There was a Sunday School teacher at FBC Frisco that passed a background check that was eventually discovered to be a sex offender.
Churches need to make this a serious issue. The damage to the victims has to be incredibly bad.
Way to much of sweeping this under the rug and allowing people to go to another church and do even more damage.
