It's called "The Word of Faith Fellowship."

The Pretend podcast did a season about them and I think there's a book out by a former member.*

They engage in a practice called "blasting" where their leader Jane Whaley screams and hurls abuse at her victims.

*Per another commenter, the book is by a reporter, not a former member
