Kelowna Harvest Fellowship and Harvest Ministries International: Child Sex Abuse Allegations, Civil Suits, and Evangelical Accountability in British Columbia
This article examines recent abuse-related cases in British Columbia’s evangelical landscape. It outlines criminal charges against Pastor Edwin Alvarez of an unnamed Metro Vancouver church for alleged sexual interference and assault against children between 2017 and 2021. It then reviews two active civil lawsuits against Pastor Art Lucier and Kelowna Harvest Fellowship, where plaintiffs allege long-term grooming and sexual abuse beginning in childhood, alongside institutional negligence. The article contrasts these ongoing actions with a separate Kelowna case in which a former youth pastor, anonymized as “CM,” received an 18-month custodial sentence after pleading guilty to child sex offences.

Northside Foursquare Church and Cloverdale Christian Fellowship Church Abuse Allegation Cases
Langley, with its dense Evangelical presence, has seen serious abuse allegations within local churches. One civil case involves Pastor Barry Buzza of Northside Foursquare Church, accused of grooming and sexually abusing a teenage congregant who sought pastoral guidance, with claims the church ignored warning signs. Another case centers on Pastor Samuel Emerson of Cloverdale Christian Fellowship Church, who faced multiple charges related to sexual misconduct involving youth; he was ultimately convicted on one count of sexual assault, with other charges and those against his wife dismissed. These cases highlight patterns of spiritual authority, impunity, and inadequate safeguarding in regional Evangelical institutions.

Yet somewhere along the way, without announcements or fireworks, AI slipped into the center of everyday life. It did not knock at the door; it simply settled into our phones, our work, our home devices, and even the decisions we make without realizing it.
