Heidi is a pastor in the Foursquare Church who suffered sexual harassment from her fellow pastor (the president of Ignite Academy) and then a secondary trauma in the disclosure process. We honor Heidi for her courage to raise her voice in solidarity with her own story, on behalf of others who have experienced deep pain in their church or ministry context, and in an effort to protect others who may be in harm’s way for future abuse.
Heidi has offered the full results of the investigation done in her case, as well as her timeline of events and a letter to her Foursquare family in a desire to walk in full transparency.
