Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the church need to learn about domestic abuse?
A. A study found that children exposed to violence in the home were 15 times more likely to be physically and/or sexually assaulted than the national average (https://unicef.org/protection/fi).

A. “When one person in the relationship clearly has more power than the other and consistently uses it to promote selfish interests, that’s a clear sign that the problem is far more than a marital problem. The vast majority of domestic abuse incidents do not include physical harm.” Joy Forrest

A. Statistics show that as many as one in three women will experience severe physical abuse at the hands of an intimate partner. These numbers are no different within the church.

A. “Church leaders largely do not understand domestic violence and give advice that is harmful to victims. Over 70% reported that their churches did more harm than good.” Called to Peace Ministries

A. In a Called to Peace Ministries survey of nearly 200 Christian survivors of domestic violence, nearly 30% reported being married to men who served in ministry in some capacity; 22% had seminary training.

A. “Numerous studies show that evangelical men who sporadically attend church are more likely than me of any other religious group (and more likely than secular men) to assault their wives.” Steven R. Tracy, “What Does ‘Submit in Everything’ Really Mean? The Nature and Scope of Marital Submission”

A. 75% of women experiencing domestic abuse said they would go to the church first for help, but of those who did, only 4% said they would do so again. Christian Coalition Against Domestic Violence
