CLC’s GRACE REPORT
OUR APOLOGY
UPDATED: Monday, 14th October 4:43PM
The GRACE report released October 9 makes clear that sexual abuse of the most horrid nature - to children - has taken place under our leadership. To RV1, RV2, and any and all other Reporting Victims of this abuse we are sorry for the suffering you have endured and continue to endure.
It was our job as shepherds to protect you from harm. We failed in this duty. We are sorry for failing to recognize that you were being abused, and we are sorry our apology has been so late in coming.
We regret, as the GRACE report points out, that we took several months to initiate the independent investigation. Going forward we are going to revise our policies and procedures with the goal of preventing this from ever happening again in our church.

CLC’s GRACE REPORT
This page is dedicated to raising awareness and fostering accountability regarding the incidents of sexual abuse that occurred at CLC and CLC school.
We believe in the importance of transparency, healing, and justice. This is why we hired G.R.A.C.E, an independent investigation firm.
This site serves to report their findings and to bring community awareness.
Together, we aim to ensure that such violations are acknowledged, addressed, and never repeated.
Your voice matters, and we are here to listen.
This report was just published and there is much to digest and follow up on. In the meantime, we ask for your patience as we process the injustice discovered.
In the near future, we will have an official response. Until then we will be working and ministering behind the scenes to those impacted.
