VANCOUVER, Wash. -- A former youth leader at a Vancouver church is facing sex abuse charges.

Jason Wolk, 25, is expected to appear in a Clark County courtroom Tuesday to face charges of child molestation and sexual misconduct with a minor.

He used to be the youth leader at the Vancouver Wesleyan Church on Northeast 78th Street.

Investigators with the Children's Justice Center in Clark County say Wolk molested two teenage boys from his church youth group.

Court documents say one of the boys started meeting with Wolk every day last year to get help with his "Christian life walk." But during those meetings, records say, Wolk started touching the boy inappropriately and asked him to get undressed while they laid in bed together and prayed.

Officials say part of the investigation is happening in Klickitat County, where some of the abuse might have happened on a camping trip.

Authorities believe there are only two victims right now -- a 15- and 16-year-old boy.

FOX 12 left a message and stopped by the Vancouver Wesleyan Church on Monday, but no one commented.

Church members say the pastor did make an announcement about the allegations against Wolk.

The investigation is ongoing.
