Brian Houston Hillsong Church

Friday night, scrolling through Instagram, and up pops a post from Brian C Houston, with a screenshot of what looks like a text. It appears Brian H...

What is clear is that there is obviously much action going on behind closed doors at Hillsong and that the Houstons are not happy about how they have been treated. This is just 3 weeks after she hosted her 26th year of Colour Conferences. (A total of 118 conferences around the world.) She has relentlessly served God and served people as she stood side by side with me for four decades leading Hillsong Church, faithful in the good times and the tough times alike. “After 39 years of exemplary service and extraordinary faithfulness and fruitfulness, this is the communication Bobbie received from the Hillsong Church board as she is made redundant (effective immediately) through no choice of her own.

Houston, who resigned as global senior pastor last month, attacks church he founded in online post.

“Following an in-depth investigation, it was found that Pastor Brian became disoriented after a session at the Hillsong Conference, following the consumption of anti-anxiety medication beyond the prescribed dose, mixed with alcohol,” the global board’s statement said. The board said it “worked with Pastor Brian to ensure he received professional help to eliminate his dependency on this medication, and this was achieved successfully”. “And we are supposed to act like this is all ok. Our beautiful church is losing its soul.” The board said the first incident occurred “approximately a decade ago”, in which “inappropriate text messages” from Houston were sent to a staff member, “which subsequently resulted in the employee resigning”. The church’s global board said in a statement that Houston had breached Hillsong’s pastor code of conduct in two incidents over the past decade.

The SMS to Ms Houston rea:d “I wanted to let you know I will be sending an email shortly regarding your employment. The woman was not a member of Hillsong staff but did complain to the Church of the incident. “It was along the line of ‘if I was with you, I‘d like to kiss and cuddle you’, words of that nature,” Pastor Dooley told a Church meeting. Ms Houston’s redundancy appears to be part of a move by the Church to distance itself from the Houston family, which has found itself enveloped in scandal. The founder of Hillsong has hit out at his own Church after his wife was reportedly made redundant in a “cold and callous” move by the organisation. The co-founder of Sydney based megachurch Hillsong Bobbie Houston has apparently been made redundant from the religious organisation by text message in a move she branded “cold and callous”.

The former pastors of Hillsong churches in Kyiv and Moscow are accusing former Hillsong Global Pastor Brian Houston of forcing them out.

“The Hillsong scandals demonstrate that NDAs are the tool par excellence to protect the powerful by means of concealment and intimidation,” he continued. “Now, when our country needs us the most, we need to clear up our name,” Vera Kasevich said. The church members voted overwhelmingly to eliminate Hillsong from the name and keep the Kaseviches as pastors. They have also begged Hillsong’s current leadership for resolution of the situation in Kyiv, an email chain shows. And Wednesday morning, the church was hijacked.” They pressured the couple to sign an NDA confirming their resignation. It was not ethical, and it was not right with us.” And why do we need to give all power to Australia?” Vera Kasevich recalled while on the phone with TRR yesterday. Then in 2008, Houston became interested in drawing Hillsong Kyiv and Hillsong Moscow closer into the fold. On Hillsong’s Vision Sunday that February, Zhenya Kasevich decided not to show Houston’s Global Vision Presentation at the Kyiv church. They say Hillsong leadership tried to force them to change church governance to give global leaders more control in the local churches. The Kaseviches were named senior pastors in 1997.
