One of Canada’s largest multi-site churches has placed its lead pastor on leave after sexual misconduct allegations were made against him according to a report from the Christian Post.

The Meeting House, an Anabaptist megachurch in Ontario, has announced that it placed teaching pastor Bruxy Cavey, 56, on a leave of absence while an external investigation looks into sexual misconduct allegations made by a woman to the church’s board of directors late last month. Toronto City News stated:

“Bruxy has now been placed on a leave of absence while an external investigation takes place,” said Executive Chair Maggie John in a recent statement. “We take these allegations very seriously and are committed to a thorough and transparent process.

We are praying through this situation.” Cavey is currently not facing any charges. The Meeting House has 19 regional sites across the province. They show Cavey’s sermon from the week before at the leading site in Oakville, Ont.

Cavey developed a following through his sermons and his YouTube videos in which he would answer “popular questions about Christianity.” The church’s free sermon resources include podcasts, videos of speeches, and various content. The church is affiliated with Be In Christ, an Anabaptist denomination that commits to peace and non-violence.

On The Meeting House website, Cavey expands on his views of same-sex marriage, telling his followers that the church “holds to a traditional view of marriage as designed by God to unite a man and a woman in a covenant union of love.”

“This also means that we would not affirm someone in leadership who is actively living contrary to our beliefs (e.g., in a same-sex marriage or dating relationship), which is similar to how we approach other issues.”
