RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) – A community leader is worried that a Richmond mega church that has lost four of its five pastors may not be able to continue its mission.
Jeff Davis Neighborhood Civic Association’s Charles Willis, who has worked closely with the church and Pastor Geronimo Aguilar, fears the Richmond Outreach Center’s mission of serving the needy may be too difficult.
This after Aguilar, known as Pastor G, is accused of sexually abusing two young sisters in the mid 1990s in Texas prior to founding the ROC in 2003.
“It’s a sad day in Richmond,” said Willis. “The ROC has been a ROC within the Richmond community and that ROC has been shattered.”
As civic association president, Willis worked closely with Aguilar on prayer vigils and programs involving Citizens Against Crime.
Willis calls him a spiritual leader who looked out for underprivileged and troubled kids.
