🚨 Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith’s church is connected to LifeWise Academy.
Beckwith serves as a pastor at Life Church in Noblesville, which is identified on SEA’s map as a hosting location or sponsoring church for the local LifeWise effort. In 2023, Beckwith and Life Church also hosted a meeting to help bring LifeWise into Noblesville schools.
Now the church’s lead pastor, Nathan Peternel, is back in the pulpit after completing a church “restoration” process following a sexual scandal. His son, Jonathan Peternel, was convicted in a child sexual abuse material case.
Parents deserve to know the full picture.
