BBC Reveals Hillsong Church’s Celebrity Culture and Scandals in New Documentary

August 2, 2021 by Staff

(Christian Headlines) A newly released documentary by BBC offers a look into Hillsong Church, a globally recognized megachurch, which has endured a string of controversies within the past year, including the church’s celebrity culture, as well as sexual and financial misconduct.

According to The Roys Report, the film titled “Hillsong Church: God Goes Viral” first aired on July 21 on BBC Four’s Storyville documentary series. The film was produced by London-based producer Nick Aldridge, who captured footage as he spent time with Hillsong leaders for the past two years. 

In one revealing portion of the film, a Hillsong London youth minister and his team of college leaders travel to a tattoo parlor where they get matching “70×7” tattoos. They said that the ink pays tribute to the gospel’s message on forgiveness.
