A church-led investigation into a former Evansville youth pastor who was accused of pastoral abuse by two Evansville women last year has found that the women’s claims were credible.
A public statement from Berean Baptist Church of Burnsville, Minnesota, concluded that Wes Feltner’s treatment of, and relationships with, Megan Frey and JoAnna Hendrickson about 17 years ago when he was youth pastor at First Southern Baptist of Evansville were inappropriate.
The church also found that Feltner misused church funds to pay for his own personal expenses, that he had made misleading statements to Berea elders regarding his job candidacy at another church and that he was generally unreliable and often absent in stewarding church initiatives.
