Vision Statement
Separation Within The Church - Mistrust and Infighting
Pastor Isaac Noriega According to current and former church members, Pastor Isaac Noriega, the leader of the church, is well known for the harsh tactics he uses for maintaining tight control over the church and its members. It is important to note that Isaac teaches that as the pastor and head of this sovereign church, he holds authority over them, so it is important that they be subject to his teachings. One of the methods of control he routinely uses is encouraging families to separate, even those who are current church members, by suggesting there is no reason for them to visit each other, especially grandparents. This is believed to be done in cases where he fears the grandparents may influence their children and grandchildren against him, especially if he has had a falling out with them.
