The co-founder of the Vineyard religious movement and eight former board members are suing two pastors for $62 million, accusing the married couple of engaging in “spiritual fraud” to gain financial control of the sect’s flagship Anaheim church before seceding from the denomination in 2021.
Alan and Kathryn Scott did not respond to emails and phone calls placed to Dwelling Place seeking comment. Wong’s husband, John Wimber, who died in 1997, was a founding leader of the Vineyard Movement. In 1982, the couple established the Anaheim Vineyard church. “Mike Safford asked defendant Alan Scott in early 2017 whether he would be interested in becoming the Senior Pastor of Anaheim Vineyard once Pastor Lance Pittluck retired,” says the complaint.
