HILLSBORO, Ore. – Parents have been fighting for years without success to get a church near a public grade school to move its meetings for sex offenders.
They say they’ve run into roadblocks trying to get this sex offender meeting to move. They say they’ve been trying for at least three years to convince Sonrise Church, where these registered offenders meet, to move the meeting far away from any schools.
Additionally, some of these sex offenders will actually start living at the church within the next month, KATU News has learned.
The motto at the church is “A safe place to hear a life changing message.” But parents who have children right next door at Quatama Elementary School question that message.
The church holds a service every week and as many as 120 registered sex offenders attend.
