Laura explains that Leona stayed on as their nanny, but they never addressed the situation again - saying she felt "tormented mentally" and gaslit by the pair. Something came over me, and I was angry, and I definitely freaked out." I ran into the room and shoved Carl, hit him, and then I jumped on top of her and I punched her. I know I'm seeing something that is not right. "One night, I found them in a compromising position. Representatives for Lentz and Hillsong NYC didn't immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment."You've got someone in your house all the time, and I would sometimes get these little feelings," Laura recounts. you are a loyal friend, a kind hearted human being, a musical genius and continue to grow into a fantastic HUSBAND! Congratulations to you and and thanks for being a steadfast big bro, to this little man.your one of his heroes and I think he has picked wisely!! Future is bright.Ī post shared by Carl Lentz on at 11:41am PDT at 11:41am PDTīased in Christianity, Hillsong Church has locations all over the world, and counts celebrities such as Bieber, his wife, Hailey Baldwin, Kendall Jenner, and Selena Gomez among its congregants. Bieber was baptized by the pastor in 2014, in the bathtub of New York Knicks player Tyson Chandler, and even lived with Lentz and his family for several months in 2015. In the past, Lentz also made headlines for his involvement in the spiritual growth of Bieber, whom he befriended in 2010. "We thank Pastors Carl and Laura for the way they have served faithfully and sacrificially since the start of Hillsong NYC and for contributing so significantly to the countless lives that have been transformed for Jesus Christ through this ministry," Houston said in his statement. Along with his Laura and fellow pastor Joel Houston (son of Hillsong founder Brian Houston), Lentz helped grow the East Coast branch of the megachurch significantly. Lentz was the pastor at Hillsong's New York location, which first opened in 2010. We, the Lentz family, don’t know what this next chapter will look like, but we will walk into it together very hopeful and grateful for the grace of God.Ī post shared by Carl Lentz on at 12:12pm PST at 12:12pm PST Thank you for your grace and kindness especially in this season, as you have done so much to protect and love us through this. To our pastors Brian and Bobbie, thank you for allowing us to lead, allowing us to thrive and giving us room to have a voice that you have never stifled or tried to silence. So to those people, I pray you can forgive me and that over time I can live a life where trust is earned again. I would have liked to say this with my voice, to you, in person because you are owed that. I am deeply sorry for breaking the trust of many people who we have loved serving and understand that this news can be very hard and confusing for people to hear and process. I now begin a journey of rebuilding trust with my wife, Laura and my children and taking real time to work on and heal my own life and seek out the help that I need.

This failure is on me, and me alone and I take full responsibility for my actions. I was unfaithful in my marriage, the most important relationship in my life and held accountable for that. When you lead out of an empty place, you make choices that have real and painful consequences. Laura and I and our amazing children have given all that we have to serve and build this church and over the years I did not do an adequate job of protecting my own spirit, refilling my own soul and reaching out for the readily available help that is available. When that does not happen, a change needs to be made and has been made in this case to ensure that standard is upheld.
That it honors the church, and that it honors God. When you accept the calling of being a pastor, you must live in such a way that it honors the mandate. Leading this church has been an honor in every sense of the word and it is impossible to articulate how much we have loved and will always love the amazing people in this church.
This is a hard ending to what has been the most amazing, impacting and special chapter of our lives. Our time at HillsongNYC has come to an end. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
