The faith community Oslochurch makes a statement of principle on sexual abuse.

Sexual abuse is nothing new, but it is good that society has focused on this reality.

The disgraceful practice of sexual abuse has sadly stricken the historic denominations and newer Christian movements. We do not accept abuse of any kind.

Oslochurch maintains that every sexual approach towards children (children in legal terms) is forbidden and must be handled in the strictest way possible. This includes both our ministry in Norway and in other nations. Every suspicion of such abuses must be reported to the police. We believe that the police and judicial system has the greatest competency in such matters. Jesus established absolute zero tolerance for sexual and other abuses against children (Mark 9:42).

Oslochurch also maintains that every sexual approach outside the parameters of marriage, committed by trusted representatives, is forbidden and must be handled in the strictest way possible, both in Norway and abroad.
