If a Sunday school teacher for kids (a single lady) committed sexual immorality and got pregnant, can she be restored to the same position if the church restored her to fellowship? She admitted that she’s been doing it for at least than 2 years. She did not come forward about it, she was found out because she got pregnant and cannot hide it anymore. How about in any other ministries?
Thank you for your question. In my humble opinion, it would be wise to remove her from this position at this time. There needs to be some time to see if her "repentance" is "worldly sorrow" or "godly sorrow". It would also be wise to consider the message this might send to the children in her Sunday School class.
Can she be restored at a later time? I believe so, but not without clear, genuine repentance and accountability in the future.
For the Master,
Susan J Heck
