This petition serves as a formal request for the current pastor of Union Hill Community Church, Brad Anderson, to step down from his leadership role in light of recent events. These concerns include speaking against preschool staff during a sermon; making remarks about the preschool that referenced “burying the talent” and stated that “some of them should have never been there”; failing to acknowledge responsibility for a prior preschool-related incident involving a field trip to a cemetery without parental consent, which contributed to a significant loss of trust among parents; requiring future staff to provide “proof of Christianity”; playing a direct role in the resignation of preschool staff, ultimately leading to the discontinuation of the preschool program for the community; demonstrating dismissive attitudes toward preschool parents and a lack of responsiveness to their concerns; disregarding a petition signed by preschool parents requesting that the structure and staff remain unchanged; and exhibiting a lack of involvement with the preschool over the past two years until now.

This petition is supported by signatures from current and former members, preschool families, and members of the broader community.
