added to my question, i starting going to that church because my husband got saved there, and i was also saved there, but i always felt like the people in that church where always gossiping about something, now that my pastor is suspended, i feel like i don't want to continuing going to that church because half of the church was the one who reported him, they say so far he did not molested anyone, but no one is talking as yet, i just feel so confuse about the whole thing.

If it's not been publicized, then it's probably to protect some of the members. This kind of thing occurs when there is either criminal activity, behavior that compromises the safety of a parishoner, sexual activity, embezzlement, or other things.

If you are truly curious, you can ask the pastor. If youthink that it's possible that someone's privacy needs to be guarded, you could simply wait until it's deemed appropriate to say what happened.

There are any number of reasons. Unfortunately, not all pastors feel the need to live a holy life and often end up causing more harm than good. I have witnessed it first hand, and I tell ya, it was very hard to do the gooid Christian thing and still respect him as my pastor. But in the end, God took care of the problem.
All you can do is pray for him. Pray that God's will be done, pray that God either restores him while disciplining him, that he learns his lessen and is humbled. If God is not going to restore him to your particular church, pray for the new and coming pastor. Above all realize, not all men are great, even pastors. God is great, God is good, we are all nothing by comparison. Don't let this mans bad choices be an example of what God is. Because my God is bigger than any flawed man. And my God is a God of second chances. And thirds and fourths too. Just pray. The best tool in your hand is prayer.
I pray things work out for you.
In Christ

The particular case is known by the goverment body of your church that suspended the pastor, not by the community of YA!. If you need more information you must ask them, not to uninformed YA! members (like me).
----
Edit:
You should take time to pray with your husband to receive guidance from God regarding if He want your family to:

* stay at that church and be the instruments of God to help those members who still have problems with gossip or other customs or practices that are not in line with The Bible;
OR
* move to another church were can serve God.

There are many reasons why he would be suspended. When I was going to church, one pastor that I went to was suspended for stealing out of the collection plate and using it for his own personal gain. Another pastor at another church I went to was suspended for having sex with his own daughter. Hmmm, could you imagine why I turned my back on churches?

1. If "They" found out that his beliefs didn't match up with the church that you go to.
2. If he did something that the church condones.
3. If he stole something from the church.

seen this until now. He in no way particularly proved something until now, and nicely-known various ideals at face fee, and as quickly as those ideals succumbed to talk, he "threw out the toddler with the bathwater" because it have been. It shook his faith, which became lacking. i've got seen various former ministers grow to be atheistic or agnostic as a consequence. They parent that, if there have been a God, He could have seen them interior the process the trial, however the trial became their concept in issues that weren't real. .

Could be several things. Whatever it was, it wasn't good.

We had a neighbor (a Deacon in his church) that moved his girlfriend into his house - with his wife and 14 year old daughter. He got booted.

Ask the Elders of the church. Everyone should have the roght to know why.
If they won't reveal the reason, find another church.

Can't answer your question without more information. Most likely he is going to another church. Pastor are people to they go where the money is.

Maybe he did something that defiles God and the body of christ and needs a little time away to go and consecrate himself before he puts himself back at the altar.
