Statement from Carol Pipes, Lifeway Christian Resources director of communications:
We are aware of the recent release by the United States Department of Justice that a former Lifeway Credit Union employee has been charged with fraud. Lifeway Credit Union is a completely separate legal entity from Lifeway Christian Resources, and at no time has the person in question, Monica Jackson, been an employee of Lifeway Christian Resources or had access to any Lifeway Christian Resources financial accounts/systems. No Lifeway Christian Resources funds were embezzled or mismanaged.
