Copy of resignation letter
Saturday December 13, 2025
Dr. Steven Grose
59 Drift Road
Richmond, NSW 2753.
Dear Friends,
I have had the pleasure of pastoring and being a personal friend to you over these last
eight years. I have enjoyed encouragement and growth together.
The session at xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx church had authorised xxxxxx xxxxxxx to
preach and lead a funeral service xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx on November 8th. He had pled guilty to
seven counts of indecent assault against four Solomon Islander girls all under the age of
15 between 2010 and 2012. He was imprisoned in the Solomon Islands for three years
after trial in 2019.
I have viewed the service on YouTube….
The Youtube site indicates more than 250 people have viewed the funeral online.
I notified xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx of my
concerns on the 25th and 26th of November.
As my conscience has been distressed at this for some time, I respectfully resign from
the Christian Reformed Churches of Australia denomination and Hope Christian Community Church.
Yours Sincerely
Dr. Steven Grose
