HALES CORNERS — A Hales Corners pastor has been charged with multiple counts of child molestation and aggravated assault.
Tom Chantry has been placed on a leave of absence from Christ Reformed Baptist Church, where he’s been the pastor for the past 10 years.
The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) is asking church members to take a stand.
“This is a crisis of faith for them right now, the congregation. And we’re concerned about how they’re responding to it,” explained Peter Isely, SNAP.
In a statement, church leadership says: “Mr. Chantry is currently on a leave of absence from our church. Our church is strong, and our prayers and confidence are in Christ. We have nothing further to share about this matter.”
