Word of Faith Fellowship

Theologically, the Word of Faith Fellowship (WOFF), in Spindale, North Carolina (USA), is a charismatic, word of faith church.

Sociologically, the WOFF - lead by Sam and Jane Whaley - is an abusive church.

Among other things, the WOFF church has

• an unhealthy, unbalanced focus on demons,
• an unbiblical manner of addressing real or perceived demonization, and
• other unbiblical practices, including attempts to control people.

The WOFF's abusive practices (see, e.g., this information) show this church to be a cult of Christianity.
