Do we try our best to be welcoming to any and all who come in? Yes. We were once Newcastle Christian Life Center, who then joined the 'Hillsong Family' and eventually joined Hillsong formally, after many years. I can only speak from experience of attending a smaller, local, North East (UK Newcastle) campus. All about the money honey.īit surprised to see Hillsong hasn't claimed this listing on Trust Pilot, but since it does exist, may as well comment. Read up on Carl Lentz Celebrity narcissistic prosperity culture. Brian Houston also has been accused of immoral conduct with two women and shortly after left the church. In a nutshell the founder Brian mega rich Houston had to leave due to maybe withholding information about his pedophile father. After my years of experience in this church these programs got it 100% right. Watch BBC Storyville called Jesus goes viral and the Hillsong documentary on Sky. It seems the trendy and popular thrive there, while the introverts get lost in the crowd. I say forget about being a doctor become a Hillsong Pastor. It can leave a bitter taste in your mouth when you witness pastor's living seemingly lavish lifestyles.ie living in prestigious London accomadation, owning nice cars, with the odd Harley in tow and adorned in high branded clothing.Not forgetting the paradical holidays. These visitors also get given donations from a thank you bucket that goes round,which amounts to a hell of alot, when you consider you have 1000 s in the congregation. Alot of visiting pastors serm to be always plugging their latest book or album after their talk. Just to make sure you empty your pockets. There's always a tithing pep talks before the the buckets come round. ![]() They're always selling merchandise (even on a Sunday) always serm to need money for various charities Heart for the House etc. I felt people went there more for the hangouts, the glitz, the Glastonbury vibes, to network, for self gain and to find a potential partner or partners. For me this church seems to have succumb to the world to gain it's popularity and fanbase. What do you expect when their very own leaders act the same way. Alot of those in these teams come across as arrogant elitist and rude. Their productions seem to promote the same old favourite faces. I never saw anyone over the age of 30 front the worship team. Which is great but the oldies ain't all dead yet. ![]() It always seemed to promote the younger people. I began to see it's materialistic, narcissistic, nepotistic, elitist, ageist self gaining, celebrity worshipping culture. Then as the years passed I sadly discovered how fake some of the teams, congregation, doctrine and it's leaders were. Everyone seemed welcoming and friendly like family. Loved this church for the first couple of years.
