I am requesting that the Abundant Life-UPC Church & it's affiliates investigate Pastor Brandon Steinke & the evidence presented to them by Maria Ochs regarding the shooting of two dogs on July 27th, 2013 to decide if he was "just" in his motives during this event. I would like his merit & ability to lead people based on his judgement & actions that day reconsidered by the church. The role he fills as a pastor who leads his people according to biblestudytools.com, is "called of God to be the earthly undershepherd with the responsibility of feeding, equipping, leading, and training the sheep in the way the Lord has ordained" & it is undoubtedly an important role & a divine one with certain rules & responsibilities that come with it.
