Parkhurst said the church is a “three-tiered society.” He said the top tier is called the “Kingdom People,” composed of parishioners who tithed above a certain amount.Apparently some people are going to jail for committing fraud to join the "top tier," of the church. Discuss.
“These individuals were considered closest to God and made part of the Church inner circle and bestowed many privileges,” Parkhurst said. He noted that Julian and Williams had traveled with the church’s leaders to Africa for a safari and to Jerusalem to be baptized.
According to a copy of Wave Foundation Magazine posted on the church’s website, the minimum donation to become a member of the “Kingdom People” last year was $7,500 “over and above … tithes and offerings.”
“Kingdom People are men and women who believe that part of the reason they exist is to resource the Kingdom of God,” the magazine said. “They are individuals who consistently place the cause of the King as their first priority. We consider them to be the financial leaders of Wave Church.”
