The end of the world is coming for members of a Geelong Church. It’s been looming for over 50 years. And only the chosen few will be saved.
Follow investigative journalist Richard Baker as he returns to his home town to investigate one of Australia’s most hardline Pentecostal churches and the man who led it.
This series goes deep inside the secretive group and the disturbing doctrine of Pastor Noel Hollins.
Richard Baker has received hundreds of hours of audio recordings that reveal the inner teachings of the doomsday group. He speaks to ex-members who have managed to escape, many who are sharing their stories for the first time.

Until now.
