Dear Living Hope body and Lima community,

In the past week the church body and community has been made aware of a letter that contained grievous allegations regarding current and former Living Hope staff members. The Living Hope board wants you to know that we are taking all allegations seriously and will be cooperating completely with the investigation.

• The current staff members that are involved in the letter have voluntarily stepped aside from their responsibilities during the investigation.
• Living Hope will communicate all findings of the investigation and any additional actions that will take place.

We as a board are asking for God’s wisdom and guidance in this matter. Living Hope is looking to the Word of God as a guide through these difficult times. Our hope is for complete healing and reconciliation for all the individuals involved, the church as a whole, and our Lima community.
