About Kris Vallotton

Bethel Church is a non-denominational American megachurch with 9,000 members in Redding, California, part of the neo-charismatic movement and known for its controversial teachings and practices, and sometimes described as a cult. The church was established in 1952 and became affiliated with the Assemblies of God in 1954; it is currently led by Bill Johnson. Bethel and its leaders have received extensive media coverage, both praising their influence and criticizing their unconventional beliefs and practices, particularly regarding supernatural claims and their intersection with politics. It has also been criticized for multiple incidents of clergy sexual abuse and "cover-up culture".
