Hillsongs and Church Planting

Garth posts up a media piece on Hillsongs.

The oldest and largest Pentecostal church in Australia is planning to increase the number of its churches nationwide by one third to 1500, appoint 2000 more ministers and erect 100 church buildings in the “short term to medium term”.

Before an audience of about 2000 church organisers, Mr Houston claimed that 176 churches had been established in the past two years - one every four days. In the next two years the church is aiming to build at least 180 churches.”

    It’s kind of like a hostile corporate takeover of the Australian chruch….with Brian Houston in the Rene Rivkin role.

    That is a pathetic comment - i was there and it is about church planting. About reaching our nation for Christ.
