![]() ![]() “The investigation by the integrity unit appointed by the global board found that … the conduct was of serious concern,” it said. The Hillsong global board said “that whatever the circumstances at this time, this person did not deserve to be placed in the situation she found herself in by Pastor Brian”. “This resulted in him knocking on the door of a hotel room that was not his, entering this room and spending time with the female occupant.” “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 second investigation concerned a complaint the church received in 2019, about behaviour which Hillsong attributed to medication and alcohol. 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”. “At the time, Pastor Brian was under the influence of sleeping tablets, upon which he had developed a dependence,” the statement said. 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”. “We have sadly been dealing with two complaints made against Pastor Brian over the last 10 years,” the church’s global board said.
