A Texas pastor who had a possible “cultish” relationship with his parishioners is behind bars for allegedly sexually assaulting a child — and investigators believe there could be more victims.

Ronald Wayne Mitchell, 56, remained jailed on $250,000 bail after a SWAT team arrested him Tuesday following a search at the Body of Christ Ministry in Magnolia, about 40 miles northwest of Houston.

Investigators were tipped off to the location after receiving a complaint that he sexually assaulted a juvenile in the church he operates out of his Conroe home, living with up to 20 additional people, according to Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Ronnie Silvio.

“It’s kind of an unusual case because of the relationship he has with these people,” Silvio told The Post. “With the investigation so far that the detectives have conducted, they suspect that this is a lot more in-depth than we know now. It may be cultish, the relationship he has with these individuals.”

Silvio said Mitchell sometimes led his church from various locations throughout the Lone Star State.

“We’re thinking that there’s going to be more victims,” Silvio said.

Mitchell remains in custody at the Montgomery County Jail since he did not comply with a judge’s order that he turn over his passport and wear a GPS ankle monitoring bracelet. He will remain there until he does comply, Silvio said.

Investigators who searched Mitchell’s home found “quite a bit” of evidence in connection to the sexual assault charge against him, said Silvio, who did not elaborate. Investigators also found a large cache of weapons and ammunition.

Mitchell, according to the church’s website, has had a “burning compassion for the lost around the world” since 1979.

“He was filled with the Holy Spirit and shortly after received his call into the ministry,” the site reads. “He then began preaching and teaching on the streets, in rehabilitation centers, in prisons and churches.”

Mitchell, according to one account, has told church members to cut off contact with relatives — sometimes for years at a time.

“A lot of people have referred to it like a cult,” one member’s relative told the Houston Chronicle.

Mitchell also forbids dating, arranges marriages for his congregants and collects money from them, many of whom are struggling financially.

“He’s just always been a weird guy,” the relative told the Chronicle. “It’s like he has control over them.”

At least two church members are defending Mitchell, saying they’re shocked by the allegations.

“It’s something I find very hard to believe,” Angela Edwards, 18, told KPRC. “Nothing in his history would ever say he would do anything like that. He’s always told me and the congregation never put yourself in a situation with the opposite sex. Never be alone with the opposite sex.”

Edwards estimated that Mitchell’s church has about 20 members, with all of them living at the home with Mitchell and his wife, Sandra.

Another member who asked not to be identified told KHOU that Mitchell was merely helping out some people struggling to make ends meet.

“We are a close congregation,” the unidentified man said. “We’re going through hard times with the economy being the way it is. So he opened up his house. And we all came at one time into the house.”
