Prominent Indiana pastor and “anti-sex exploitation” advocate David Wigington, who has been accused of hiring escorts and prostitutes while on ministry-related trips, has had his ministerial credentials revoked by the Assemblies of God General Council Credentials Committee.
Wigington is the lead pastor of Cornerstone Christian Fellowship in Bloomington, Indiana, and the (now former) Director of Church Relations for Project Rescue, a “global, faith-based network that rescues and restores women and children who are survivors of sexual slavery and human exploitation.”
After Jo Fipps (a longtime congregant and church volunteer) discovered Wigington’s purported secret life after receiving one of the pastor’s old computers, he tried through multiple avenues to tell multiple entities about Wigington’s purported misdeeds, but was stymied at every turn.
The obstructionists include Cornerstone Church which said they believed in his innocence, and by the Indiana District Assemblies of God, who reportedly had no interest in properly investigating. It was only after telling his story to The Roys Report that things blew up, especially when they provided images and screenshots alleging to be between Wigington and various prostitutes, along with a trove of evidence.

Fipps shared on his FB page:
Last night, the Indiana District Assemblies of God sent the attached email to Indiana ministers. The statement is vague, offers basically no information, and I have addressed my concerns about it with District leadership.
But at least he has been dismissed and their investigation is over.
For those not familiar with AG terminology, for many offenses and instances of minister misconduct, they recommend a temporary suspension and restoration period. Dismissal is more permanent.
Now, however, despite Wigington being dismisses by the Assemblies of God (meaning he cannot be a pastor in his denomination) his church is standing with him and is threatening to leave the AOG over it. Fipps continues:
This past Sunday, October 18th, 2026, Cornerstone Staff used the entire service (EDITORS NOTE. They cut their live stream during this portion) to deny the allegations, discredit the Indiana District’s investigation, and attack me and other local ministers. Staff members took turns speaking for almost an hour, and the congregation was lied to many times. (I assume that David was the only person intentionally lying, and the majority of the other staff members are simply deceived.)
The “conclusion” if you will, was that Cornerstone has scheduled a business meeting on November 1st to vote to leave the Assemblies of God (they cancelled the business meeting that was previously scheduled on October 22nd). They passed out a fake constitution and bylaws with sweeping changes made to it and are attempting to leave the AG illegally. I will be sharing a lot more about that soon as well as proof that they have broken their own bylaws several times over.
As one response to Fipp’s statement summarized “Cornerstone is giving us an absolute master class on how to permanently destroy your reputation after a scandal. They’re just making it worse and worse and worse for themselves at every step. It’s gone from sinful and selfish to just completely idiotic.”
As a result of sharing and accessing the files on the laptop, Wigington filed a police report against Fipps, with the Roys Report reporting he’s been charged with “a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison.”

No problem. Just subpoena all of it to defend against the Class A misdemeanor charge. Then go to jury trial and put it all on the public record. Make the prosecution try to prove the information and files were faked. The Lord uses things such as this to bring people to the point of decision, and to call them to repentance, so the wheat may be separated from the chaff.
Keep standing for what’s right and don’t give up. Do not be intimidated or bullied. Do not fear. The truth will prevail.
“Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 3 Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.” – Luke 12:1-2
“15 When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16 He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” – 2 Kings 6:15-17
They say when you stand for what’s right you stand alone.
But what they don’t tell you is that when then battle is done and the dust has cleared, the one who stood for what God says is right will be the one still standing. Don’t lose trust. He doesn’t lie. He brings them to a decision point, blocks off all their ways to dodge, deprives them of all excuses, forces them to either follow all the way through with the wickedness or repent. He will make them have to choose this day whom they will serve.
Let them chase you. Wear the target as the Lord and Apostles wore the target. Then when the harder they pursue, the harder they’ll slam headlong right into the foot of the cross. Sometimes in the course of being fishers of men, we are the bait.
I’ve been there so many times it’s as if the target is permanently tattooed on my back. It’s not easy. But know, like Elisha knew, you are not alone.
“18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.” – Jesus (John 15:22)
“… now they have no excuse for their sin …”
