DULUTH, Minn. – Duluth police have confirmed they are assisting in the investigation of allegations against a minister’s assistant at Vineyard Church.
Members of the congregation received an email from the special committee of the Vineyard Church council on Sunday.
He said in part that the special committee was asking for “patience [they] seek truth and justice.
The allegations are still unclear, but the church says it is an investigation into allegations of misconduct from several years ago.
The church says the pastoral assistant has been suspended.
To help with its investigation, the church says it has hired a company called GRACE, which stands for “Godly Response To Abuse In The Christian Environment.”
Duluth Police are encouraging all victims to come forward by calling 911 to file a report.
The DPD says victims can also contact PAVSA, an organization that helps victims of sexual assault, at (218)-726-1931.
The church will have a meeting to discuss the situation this Sunday at 7 p.m. at its location on Arrowhead Road.
FOX21 is not naming the pastoral assistant at this time because he has not been charged with a crime.
