On the evening of February 16, 2026, church leadership was made aware of sexual assault allegations against David Rodgers, who was serving as Worship Pastor at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. We are deeply saddened and troubled by these allegations. The church takes all allegations of sexual assault extremely serious and we ask that you join us in prayerfully waiting information regarding this ongoing legal matter.

We understand that for sexual assault survivors, this may initiate feelings of pain and past trauma. Please know we are praying for you and your continued healing.

Pleasant Grove has always taken the physical, spiritual, and emotional safety of those on our campus, especially our children, with the utmost concern and that continues to remain of primary importance.

Effective immediately, the staff member has been terminated and prohibited from participating in church-sponsored functions.

We ask that you join with us in prayer as we strive for God’s guidance as we seek truth, accountability, and discernment.

Church family, any updates on this situation or to this official statement will be communicated here or in-person.
