John B. Lowe II admitted having sex with a 16-year-old woman during a 22 May 2022 service at New Life Christian Church in Warsaw, Indiana, after she confronted him publicly. Moments later, members of the congregation gathered around the pastor in prayer, while the woman's allegations were referred for investigation.
The incident began with Lowe describing his conduct as adultery. He told the congregation he had engaged in a sexual relationship nearly two decades earlier, said it had continued 'far too long' and announced that he was stepping away from ministry.
