In 2015, the Branham Tabernacle began a series of events that would eventually lead to the church splitting into multiple groups. Deacons in the Branham Tabernacle recognized the financial problems in the church and began investigating. To their surprise, they found evidence that they claimed to be criminal.
According to their testimonies when they resigned, William Branham's sons had been allegedly stealing from the church, and cult headquarters appeared to be stealing and stockpiling money. Tax records revealed a hundred million dollars in assets, and a second legal entity was created for the sole purpose of moving money.
Homes that were not occupied by Willard Collins, the pastor of the Tabernacle, were claimed as "parsonages" allegedly to avoid paying income tax, and a large portion of the property underneath the Branham Tabernacle was deeded away from the church to one of Branham's sons. After comparing the expenses to the money collected, a large discrepancy was found. Deacons publicly demanded to know where the money went. In October of 2015, Willard Collins resigned from his position as "pastor" of the Branham Tabernacle. Along with him, the entire staff of deacons and several other elders resigned.
