When a church member left her husband and moved in with another man, pastor Aaron Menikoff thought about the couple’s two young children.
“I wanted to be able to one day tell these kids that we did everything we could to save their parents’ marriage,” said Menikoff, pastor of Mt. Vernon Baptist Church in Sandy Springs, Georgia.
So Mt. Vernon Baptist initiated the church discipline process. Leaders asked the woman to live out her Christian profession by returning to her husband. Eventually, they excluded her from church membership when she failed to repent.
