Bill Hybels, an evangelical pastor who founded Willow Creek Community Church 42 years ago, announced Tuesday that he was retiring six months ahead of schedule. Willow Creek Community Church says that it conducted multiple investigations into those allegations, starting in 2014.

Willow Creek has not made the full report from the law firm’s investigation public. He helped Willow Creek grow into one of the country’s largest megachurches, with seven satellite sites.
