Local pastor accused of sexually abusing at least three kids

BERRIEN COUNTY, Mich. -- A report and arrest warrant from the State of Michigan 5th Judicial District reveals a former pastor at Grace Lutheran Church and School has been arrested after allegedly sexually abusing at least three children.

The report states the Berrien County Sheriff's Office received a Law Enforcement Notification from the State of Michigan Children's Protective Services April 10, 2024.

According to Grace Lutheran’s Facebook Rosenbaum was a pastor at the Church from February 2000 until at least 2023.

At this time, it is believed none of the alleged abuse took place on School or Church property.

The investigation began last April.

The notification stated Glen Rosenbaum, of Berrien Springs, allegedly sexually abused the children. The victims are now adults.

One victim told law enforcement Rosenbaum would touch them inappropriately on their genitals along with other parts of their body. This victim stated it occurred when they were 11 years old and continued for years.

Authorities say other information received by CPS indicate there may be more victims.

According to the Complaint and Warrant documents, Rosenbaum allegedly admitted his actions to a counselor, his wife, and members of the pastoral staff at his employer.

Rosenbaum declined to give a statement to investigators.

Parents of students at the school told ABC57 off camera they were notified of the charges in a letter from the current Pastor.

Rosenbaum is currently being held at the Berrien County Jail.
