## Resource

A third pastor has left Life Church amid fallout from the child sex abuse scandal involving the family of lead pastor Nathan Peternell and his political ally, Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith. In an interview with 24Sight News, investigative reporter Tom LoBianco reported that Pastor Derek Lopez, who led the church's Fishers campus and was widely respected by congregants, has resigned — the third pastor to depart as the scandal unfolds.
