Former members allege that pastoral authority became coercive.
Former members alleged in a 2024 civil cross-complaint that Shinn and church mentors used spiritual authority to control labor, finances, and personal relationships. The pleading also alleges abuse.
These are allegations in a party’s pleading, not findings of liability. The case identifies Shekinah Church and 7M Films as separate entities, despite overlapping leadership and participants. The documentary examines accounts connected to both. Allegations against named leaders do not establish wrongdoing by every congregant or client.
