Can you say there are no child sexual predators in your Church of God? I grew up in a COG where sexual predators attended. Sadly I never learned about it till much later in life. What is really sad is people in the church knew about it! What do you know about your church? Are there sexual predators and nothing is being done about it?

  1. I learned too late they are everywhere

    What should you do if you discover sexual predators in your church? IMMEDIATELY notify law enforcement!

    Don’t go to your pastor nor anyone else in the church. There is a good chance you will be talked out of doing anything. Let law enforcement work out the details.

    There is a good chance that the predator is a member of a prominent church family. Let the police sort that out.

  3. In many cases our pastors or church leaders have been or are sexual predators and many mass murderers were church leaders.

  4. every leader and volunteer in churches should be back ground checked by the local church they serve in…

    includes pastor and all workers – law enforcement background checks.

    Each person obtaining credentials in the COG are given a background check at each stage of the licensure process. Mandated by the Minutes.

  7. we back ground check everyone

    You have the right to know who’s in your church. If they are a child pretitor and have been convicted of that crime. And ordered not to be around children .then absolutely they should not be allowed in the same room that children are present.

    Unfortunately we live in a day and time that background check is a must if you want to work in the church. Don’t want to exclude any one from the gospel..JESUS came to seek and save the lost. But now have to be very vigilant those people that have an agenda other than worshipping God

    most predators are below the radar and are not detected.
