Entire Church Blown Away By Pastor’s Troubling Confession

Pastor John Lowe of New Life Christian Church in Warsaw, IN faced his congregation Sunday and confessed that he had cheated on his wife nearly two decades ago and that he would be stepping down from his position.

It was a shocking confession made by a trusted pastor: “I committed adultery.”

“It was nearly 20 years ago. It continued far too long,” Lowe, 65, told the church during Sunday service.

“I didn’t make a misjudgment. I sinned. I need to say that, and you deserve to hear it,” Lowe continued.

The church responded to his confession with compassion and applause…at first, then a woman and her husband took the stage.

The woman named Bobbi took the microphone and told the congregation that she was the woman Lowe had spoken of, but the preacher was not telling the whole story.

“I was just 16 when you took my virginity on your office floor. Do you remember that? I know you do,” she said. “You did things to my teenage body that have never and should never have been done.”

She told the church that she had been traumatized for more than 20 years by the things that he had done to her. Then, the woman’s husband spoke while holding up some jewelry.

“This was Bobbi’s purity’s ring which she wore while this man had sex with her and she felt ashamed all these years,” he said.

As Bobbi left the church, members of the congregation embraced her and demanded the pastor come clean.

“If you did it, you need to admit it!” one congregant said.

The pastor faced the congregants and once again asked for their forgiveness.

“I ask you to forgive me. That’s all I can do,” he said.

The local prosecutor has launched a criminal investigation into the allegations.

Church leaders posted a statement saying, “We are hurting and broken for a woman who has lovingly attended and served in the church for many years.”
