Siskiyou County
Many local residents have voiced concerns in the past several years about the influx of Bethel affiliated people purchasing commercial properties and homes, later converted to Airbnbs, as this was how Bethel quickly gentrified the neighborhoods surrounding the church, and will gentrify neighborhoods around the new campus. Siskiyoubethelwatch has elected to identify only those with deep, documented ties to Bethel and who own multiple businesses and Airbnbs in both Redding and South Siskiyou County. None had existing ties in South Siskiyou County before investing in real estate in the area.

 

The "Theory" is that Bethel and other adherents to the New Apostolic Reformation encourage their members and affiliates to invest in real estate in Northern California so they can ultimately gain control over the government, chambers of commerce, schools, etc. in an ultimate bid to control a massive area of California's natural resources. Theoretically, the ramp-up of purchases made by megachurches and their affiliates are being made in anticipation of Donald Trump being elected and his fulfillment of campaign promises made to evangelicals.

Siskiyoubethelwatch.org has identified at least 18 individual investors with current or past ties to Bethel Church of Redding who have purchased commercial plus residential properties in South Siskiyou since 2020. Most of the properties, commercial and residential, are Airbnbs.
