Compassionate Church to Cult

How does a loving small-town mid-western church go from pretty normal to a cult known as The Walk?

Christian Tabernacle was a Bible-focused church in Washington, Iowa for many years before the idea of The Walk started. We appreciated strong moral values in our elders and felt a sense of belonging in a safe environment. We are from the kind of small town that inspires Hallmark movies – tho’ no small town is ever that perfect.
