Church pastor arrested on sexual assault charges, police say

MAGNOLIA, Texas – A 56-year-old church pastor has been arrested and accused of sexual assault of a child, according to police.

Ronald Wayne Mitchell was arrested by Montgomery County SWAT officers in Conroe on Tuesday around 7 p.m.

When officials executed a search warrant at The Body Of Christ Ministry located in the 40200 block of Garwood Court in Magnolia, detectives found evidence related to the investigation, as well as a large cache of weapons and ammunition.

Since Mitchell led the church from various locations, including Tomball, South Houston and Montgomery County, investigators feel there could possibly be additional victims who may not have come forward yet.

Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to contact the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office at 936-760-5876 or Montgomery County Crime Stoppers at 800-392-STOP (7867).
