Alphonso Joseph

Joseph operated multiple unregistered and unaccountable church entities — Vision Cathedral was never registered with Florida's Division of Corporations despite claiming church status. He self-appointed himself as founder and pastor with no discernible denominational oversight, ordination process, or accountability structure. His church names ('Vision Soul to Win Crusade Ministries,' 'Vision Covenant Connection Inc.') bear the hallmarks of self-promotion rather than biblical calling. A man who uses the title of 'pastor' as cover while actively soliciting minors on dating apps has utterly disqualified himself from any claim to spiritual authority.

A man who actively uses dating apps to solicit sex with children is not proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ — he is using the veneer of ministry to gain access to victims. Whatever gospel Joseph preached from the pulpit was annihilated by his actions. The gospel demands repentance from sin; Joseph was systematically pursuing the very sin he was called to preach against. 'They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work' (Titus 1:16).

Convicted child molester. Pleaded guilty to Lewd and Lascivious Battery on a 15-year-old boy. Met the minor on Grindr, drove to pick him up, and took him to a secluded golf course for sexual acts. Sentenced to 5 years in state prison. Registered sex offender for life. Permanently banned from pastoral ministry by court order. Jesus issued the most severe warning imaginable for those who harm children: 'Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea' (Matthew 18:6). This is not a 'fall from grace' — this is predatory behavior by a man who held a position of sacred trust.

Joseph's ministry organizations bore names suggesting prophetic or visionary authority ('Vision Cathedral,' 'Vision Soul to Win Crusade'), yet his life revealed a man living in direct rebellion against Scripture. He operated without any recognizable theological framework, denominational accountability, or doctrinal standards. His churches were unregistered shell entities. No sermons, doctrinal statements, or theological positions are publicly available — only the criminal record of a predator who used the pulpit as camouflage.

Vision Cathedral was never registered with Florida's Division of Corporations despite operating as a 'church.' Vision Soul to Win Crusade Ministries and Vision Covenant Connection Inc. were registered entities but with no public financial disclosures, no 990 filings, no ECFA membership, and no accountability structure. Joseph operated multiple ministry entities with zero transparency. Any financial gifts given to these 'ministries' went to an organization headed by a man who was simultaneously using dating apps to prey on children.
