The Ashton Church started by a man facing sex abuse charges has dissolved.

48-year-old Ruben Elmer Floyd was arrested March 9th on four counts of lewd conduct with a minor.

According to court documents Floyd started talking with a 15-year-old boy via text messages early last year.

In the documents the boy describes four separate incidents of sexual abuse, including one at Floyds church, the Ashton Bible Church.



The church used to meet in a storefront right off Highway 20.

Through conversations with several area pastors Local News 8 has learned the church was new to the area with a small congregation.

A Driggs pastor is currently working with the Bible Church congregation, in order to help them through this difficult time.
