William Dutch Sheets (born March 10, 1954) is an American author and pastor affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation movement who has written 23 books.
He was an adjunct Professor at Christian Life School of Theology in Dallas, Texas from 1986 until 1999, as well as Christ for the Nations Institute, his alma mater.
[5] In 1995, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity by Christian Life School of Theology in Columbus, Georgia.
[20][21][22] Religion scholar Matthew Taylor states that "no Christian leader did more to mobilize Christians to be in DC on January 6th than Dutch Sheets" and that Sheets prayed through speakerphone call at the event, engaging in spiritual warfare against the territorial spirits perceived at the Capitol.
He has not showed remorse for his role in what Taylor called "pouring on the gasoline and lighting the match" on January 6 and has not faced any prosecution as of 2024.
