Lakeview church has brought in counselors after a former youth pastor was arrested last week in Ontario.
Kris Gowdy, 42, was arrested by Durham Regional Police and charged with trying to lure a child online and attempted aggravated assault.
Gowdy is also HIV-positive and police fear there could be more victims.
On Friday, church leaders told families with youth about the arrest and the rest of the congregation was informed of the news during Sunday’s service.
Gowdy worked at the church as a youth pastor until July 22nd.
