For the first time, church officials at Grace Fellowship Christian School speak out about one of its teachers, and a sex abuse investigation.

Aaron Thompson, a PE teacher at Grace Fellowship School in Tulsa is under arrest on two complaints of molestation. He's being held in the Tulsa County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

Church leaders held a news conference before Wednesday night services. They say church members are shocked about the allegations and are grieving, but the congregation will overcome the adversity. Chip Olin, Associate Pastor, "This ministry has been here for 30 years, the school is 25 years old. We have an impeccable record and that will speak for itself."

Church members have been asked to pray for Aaron Thompson, the church school's students and investigators.
