A message from our elders.


Dear Mosaic Family,
Sorrowfully, we need to share with you some very disheartening news. In
recent days, serious allegations of pastoral misconduct arose against Pastor
Dustin Boles and were quickly confirmed by our elders. This required that the
elders begin a formal process of thorough investigation. The findings of this
investigation and further confession from Pastor Dustin has led us to the heartbreaking decision to accept Pastor Dustins resignation from office at Mosaic
Church and president of Mosaic Ministries effective immediately. We did not
arrive at this decision lightly but rather agonizingly, with deep consternation
for our brother, praying diligently together and seeking scripture for guidance.
The initial and now confirmed accusations violated the high standard of
personal conduct for elders and pastors of the church. (I Timothy 3:2). Please
understand that we are not withholding details to protect Dustin. We are
protecting those who were hurt by his sin.
Many of you have experienced the power of the Gospel in profound ways
through Dustins gifts in this church, especially his preaching. We have all been
privileged to sit under the teaching of a man who consistently and powerfully
proclaimed gospel truth. Without Dustins vision, passion and desire for
mission, Mosaic Church would not exist. God has used him in profound ways for
which we are forever grateful. We highly esteem and appreciate Dustins gifts
and the labor he has exerted over the years and are praying that Dustin will
now receive the very Gospel he so faithfully proclaimed. We hope you will join
us in praying for Dustin and his family, asking the Lord to sustain and guide
them and drive them deeper into the heart of Gods grace.
While this may come as shocking and difficult news, we believe our church is in
faithful, wise, capable and loving hands with our elders and executive staff.
Additionally, we have asked Pastor Eric Falk to lead the staff during the week.
From the pulpit, you can expect to hear from Pastor Blake Henderson, Pastor
Justin Daniel and Pastor Jacob Dickerson, and some possible guest speakers.
We have a faithful and dedicated elder-team, staff, and volunteer leaders who
are deeply grieved but also unified in continuing to give themselves to Gospel
ministry here at Mosaic Church. Please commit to prayer for them and patience
with them as they seek to shepherd and lead our church through this season.
Finally, we as your elders want for Dustin what we want for ourselves and each
of you to listen to and obey the Lord and be transformed into his image (2
Corinthians 3:18). We pray that this painful situation will encourage every
member of our church family, not to pride, arrogance, or judgmentalism but
rather to disclose and deal with the secrets that reside in the darkest places of
our hearts (Galatians 6:1).
Because of the scope and ramifications of this decision and the Biblical
injunction regarding charges against elders from I Timothy 5:19-21: Do not
admit a charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three
witnesses. As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all,
so that the rest may stand in fear. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus
and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging,
doing nothing from partiality, we are planning to address this situation
publicly in our worship services on July 9 & 10, host upcoming gatherings, and
offer future updates as this situation progresses. In the meantime please direct
any questions to your elders and/or Executive Pastors.
Though this process has been and continues to be extremely difficult and
painful, we love Dustin deeply and have committed to a long-term plan of
personal restoration for him and devoted care for his family. The love and

A message from Dustin.


Mosaic Family,
I have struggled with sin all my life and have won the battle many times.
But, now I have lost in significant ways that have hurt some families and
innocent people. I have also hurt Natalie and my family. My sins are in
direct violation of scripture and the covenant I made with Natalie in
marriage. I have no excuse for what I have done. Each sin was selfish,
prideful and cannot be justified.
I ask for your forgiveness and that you would pray for Nat and me and the
whole Mosaic Family. I will be in an indefinite period of repentance and
healing as God works on my heart and mind. I will always feel that being
your pastor has been one of the great privileges of my life. Our elders
have been gracious and kind to me and will make the right decisions along
the way and for the good of the church, the good of those I have hurt, and
for the good of me and my family.
Most of all, I hope that my sins will not take away from all that God has
done through Mosaic over these 8 years. Regardless of my behavior it is
still true that Jesus died and rose again and He deserves to be worshipped
even at the worst of times.
- Dustin
