MI-SEN: Faith leader for Rogers Senate campaign didn't believe Midland church sex assault victims

MIDLAND, Mich. (WJRT) - Pastor Tim Cross, part of the Faith Coalition Leadership Team for U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers, is responding to criticism regarding his connection to a Midland church where three elders have been convicted of sex crimes involving children.

Cross, the pastor of Living Word Church in Muskegon, has faced scrutiny on social media for not speaking out enough about the scandal.

Cross admitted in a YouTube video that he initially did not believe the victims.

"This has been a very, very difficult situation because we have been connected to Mark Barclay ministries for 40 years," Cross said.
