Hillsong Church Founder Brian Houston Forced To Step Down Amid Charges He Covered Up His Pedophile Father Frank’s Rape Of A Young Boy

The founder of the Hillsong megachurch, Brian Houston, has stepped down from the church’s board two months after being charged by Australia police with concealing his late father’s sex offenses.

As time goes by and more is uncovered, Hillsong Church is Australia seems to be rivaling the Roman Catholic Church when it comes to sexual assaulting their congregation, and then seeking to cover it up after it takes place. The scandal emanates from the very top with Hillsong founder Brian Houston who protected his pedophile father from the arm of the law, says the Australian police.

“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” Mark 9:42 (KJB)

But the Hillsong scandal goes much deeper than Brian Houston and his pedophile father, that’s the past. Hillsong in 2021 is riddled with sexual assault scandal everywhere you turn. Hillsong Church in New York City imploded last year as ‘pastor’ Carl Lentz resigned in disgrace after it was revealed that Hillsong NYC was ‘run like the Playboy mansion’. Hillsong Church is a stunning fulfillment of the end times Laodicean church from Revelation 3, and yes, Jesus will spue the whole thing from His mouth at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

Hillsong Church founder Brian Houston steps down from board over claims he covered up sexual abuse allegations against his dad late preacher Frank Houston

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Houston has said that he will still be the church’s Global Senior Pastor in an internal email, People reported. In the email, Houston did not cite his upcoming court case in Australia, saying instead that he had resigned so the board could function ‘to their fullest capacity during this season.’

‘I also wanted to let you know that I’ve made a decision to step aside from my role on the Hillsong Church boards that oversee the governance of our operations. I did this so that these boards can function to their fullest capacity during this season. This doesn’t change my role as Global Senior Pastor. I thought it was important to let our church family know in the interests of transparency, and I wanted you to hear it from me directly,’ the email obtained by People said.

He is set to appear in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on October 5, exactly two months after he was charged by New South Wales Police Force with concealing a serious indictable offense.

‘Police will allege in court the man knew information relating to the sexual abuse of a young male in the 1970s and failed to bring that information to the attention of police,’ a statement NSW police said.

The charges can carry a maximum penalty of up to five years’ imprisonment, depending upon the exact crime concealed. Houston’s father, Frank Houston, was accused of sexually abusing a seven-year-old boy from Sydney’s east during trips from his native New Zealand three decades’ prior, in 1969 and 1970.

NSW Police began investigating Brian Houston after a 2014 royal commission into child sexual abuse delved into how Hillsong’s forerunners – the Hills and Sydney Christian Life Centres – handled 1999 abuse allegations raised against Frank Houston. Brian Houston, then the president of the evangelical organization the Assemblies of God in Australia, allegedly confronted his father, who confessed, the royal commission’s final report said.  The inquiry said that instead of reporting the abuse to police, Houston allowed his father to go into retirement and gave money to the alleged victim.

The victim told the commission he met Frank Houston at a McDonald’s restaurant in Thornleigh in 2000 and was offered a dirty napkin to sign in exchange for $10,000.  The victim said he felt ‘shame, fear and embarrassment’ for many years and suffered post-traumatic stress disorder. Frank Houston died in 2004, age 82, after confessing to a ‘continuing problem’ of a sexual interest in young boys. READ MORE

Hillsong Hell: Disturbing accusations expose the celebrity church
