Church Accused of ‘Terror’ Recruits on College Campuses

“My stomach kind of dropped,” Quinn said. After that, the women tried to get her contact information and invite her to a Bible study, but Quinn gave them a fake phone number. Quinn later learned she was not the only student approached on campus that weekend by members of the World Mission Society Church of God.

Quinn was just one of dozens of students at colleges across the country who was asked about “God the Mother” in January and February. WMS members, often young women, asked students about God the Mother and quickly invited them to a church or Bible study at Vanderbilt University, Boston College, Rider University, the University of Mississippi, Boston University, the University of North Florida and more.

The universities or their police departments typically investigate a rumor alleging that WMS is involved in sex trafficking and sometimes have notified students of the group’s presence but do little else to inhibit the group’s activities, according to articles in those schools’ newspapers.
