Edenton Street UMC pastor placed on leave amid sexual misconduct allegations

A sexual misconduct complaint has been filed against the senior pastor of a Raleigh church Thursday.

Edenton Street United Methodist Church said that Rev. Greg Moore has been placed on administrative leave from all pastoral duties due to allegations of sexual misconduct.

The church says that the charges don't involve children and youth.

Edenton Street United Methodist Church released a statement saying:

"Rev. Moore will not return to his appointment at Edenton Street UMC when the suspension ends.  Rev. Moore served at Edenton Street UMC from 2021 to 2024. Rev. Ned Hill has been appointed as the interim Senior Pastor. We are unable to say more about this personnel matter. All complaint processes center on accountability and healing for all. Edenton Street UMC is made up of an engaged and committed congregation, and together, we will move forward to continue our mission of sharing Christ from the heart of Raleigh."
