Brownsburg Vineyard Update

On Friday, May 16, 2025, the Board of Brownsburg Vineyard formally notified Vineyard USA of the termination of Senior Pastor Denis Roy due to inappropriate conduct with women based on information that has come to light as part of an independent investigation into allegations of clergy sexual misconduct. An ongoing investigation is underway, but the credible information that has come to light warranted decisive action from the Board of the Brownsburg Vineyard.

Additionally, Pastor Gwen Roy remains on leave of absence pending the outcome of the investigation. These allegations have been treated with the utmost seriousness and are the subject of a thorough and impartial inquiry being conducted by an attorney, Amy Stier, contracted by Vineyard USA.

In order to ensure the integrity of this investigation and to provide a safe environment for all involved, Denis and Gwen Roy were placed on administrative leave, effective February 26, 2025, at the request of Vineyard USA.

Vineyard USA would like to acknowledge the courage and bravery of the reporting victims who have come forward during the initial stages of the investigation. In particular, we are grateful to the initial reporting victim who contacted Vineyard USA through our 24/7 confidential reporting mechanism.

Our priority at this time is to support those affected and the local congregation and ensure a safe and healing environment for everyone. We want to assure you that Vineyard USA and the Brownsburg Vineyard Board are dedicated to navigating this challenging situation with transparency, integrity, and compassion.

We will communicate further updates as they become available.
