Megachurch shutters U.S. branch after reports of pastors’ lavish lifestyle

By Around the Web

(NEW YORK POST) — This Hillsong megachurch branch has been deemed beyond immediate redemption.

Following months of internal scandal and shocking allegations, Hillsong’s founders have informed congregants that the Australia-based institution’s only Texas church will be closing up shop until further notice.

“Many factors, all amplified by the pandemic, have resulted in the difficult decision to pause all operations at Hillsong Dallas for now,” Brian and Bobbie Houston, the husband-and-wife team who co-founded Hillsong and currently share the title of global senior pastors, wrote to congregants in a Saturday email that was forwarded to The Post. “When the time is right and we have identified and trained suitable lead pastors, we will consider relaunching.”
