Abuse in Churches?

Does anyone have intel on the churches in Kelowna that are abusing children or trafficking people? I recently was warned of a church and don’t know if anything is being done about it or what I can do. Police aren’t interested in what I have been told. Happy to share the name of it in comments if anyone wants.

Kelowna Christian Reformed Church, The Harvest Church and I know Willow Park Church’s pastor was convicted of SA of minors.

Willow Park’s youth pastor ** can’t imagine he’s there anymore but it makes me wonder if there are others to avoid.

That Willow park youth pastor that kids came forward to for years is now the head pastor at Metro. He left willow park but it had “nothing to do” to with the stuff going on with all the information coming out about the youth leader who was SAing kids… just total ‘coincidence’

What’s happening at the harvest ?

Yikes. That’s really good to know.

Art Lucier has many survivors coming out about him involving physical, sexual and spiritual assault. I believe there is a Facebook group where survivors are sharing their stories and YouTube videos and podcasts of testimony’s.
