Church Family,
Yesterday, an unexpected and deeply distressing incident occurred on our church campus during regular office hours. While we are thankful to report that everyone involved is safe and recovering, the event was traumatic for several members of our team and for our friends at Family Promise of the Black Hills, who also office in our building.
Because this is now a matter involving law enforcement, we will not be sharing further details out of respect for those directly affected and to honor appropriate privacy and care. We do want you to know that our staff responded quickly and bravely, and we’re incredibly grateful for God’s protection in the midst of a very serious situation.
We ask that you please join us in continued prayer — especially for those who were directly impacted. Pray for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Pray for peace. And pray that God would continue to use our church as a place of refuge and restoration, even in moments of crisis.
In the days ahead, we will be working to ensure that our team, our partners, and our church family feel safe and supported. If you have questions or need to talk, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for being a community marked by prayer, compassion, and trust in Jesus.
In His grace,
Pastor Shawn M. Shoup
Destiny Foursquare Church
