Pursuit Church of Denver, North Carolina, has ousted Pastor Jordan Green from his leadership role following his admission of sexual misconduct. The decision, reached unanimously by church leadership, was communicated to the congregation via a letter issued on Monday.
The letter unequivocally stated that Pastor Green’s actions violated Pursuit Church’s policies on workplace harassment. “Jordan Green committed acts of sexual misconduct which has deeply wounded his victims, the people who call Pursuit Church home, and this leadership team,” it declared.
According to the letter, Pastor Green confessed to his wrongdoing before two church leaders last week. However, subsequent discussions revealed discrepancies in his account, with the church asserting that his confession was incomplete and manipulative.
“As part of his termination, Green will not be allowed to be on church property or enter a school the congregation oversees,” the letter further stated, underlining the severity of the situation.
In response to the church’s actions, Green issued a statement to Charlotte-based WBTV. Pastor Green expressed deep remorse for the pain caused to the congregation and the tarnishing of the church’s reputation. “Although I do believe there are things being said that are twisted versions of the truth or aren’t true at all at the foundation of this is my genuine grievous sin against God and his church,” he stated.
“While God’s discipline is a form of judgment, it is always meant for redemption,” Pastor Green emphasized. “The Lord brought judgment and discipline down on my life which I am extremely thankful for. When God disciplines us it is always to deliver and never to destroy. I have and will continue to repent before the Lord and seek him through this season of discipline.”
Green said he is “deeply sorry for the pain I’ve caused to those involved” and that “I love Pursuit Church and the whole church family and my hope and prayer is God will continue to immensely bless it now and in the future.”
