Public Announcement of a Civil Lawsuit Filed against the OPC

Below is a statement approved by the Trustees of the OPC regarding a civil lawsuit filed against the OPC.

The Orthodox Presbyterian Church has just been named in a civil lawsuit against certain individuals and churches who have been accused of enabling and covering up a situation in the mid-1980s involving the sexual abuse of a child. An investigation is underway.

God’s heart is for the vulnerable in our midst. We are deeply concerned about and take seriously any accusation of abusive behavior in our churches and any accusation of a failure to deal openly and thoroughly with that abuse. We are committed to responding with transparency in the pursuit of justice in this matter. We are committed to pray for the grace of God toward all persons involved.
