Why Hillsong Church Is Finally Collapsing

Описание: For decades, Hillsong Church was seen as the future of Christianity — modern, global, and unstoppable. With chart-topping worship music, celebrity pastors, and campuses across the world, Hillsong didn’t just build churches… it built an empire.

But behind the lights, the stages, and the global brand, something was quietly breaking.

In this documentary, we investigate the real reasons behind Hillsong’s collapse — from leadership scandals and financial secrecy to spiritual burnout, celebrity culture, and the growing distrust of megachurch institutions. We explore how the downfall of Brian Houston exposed deeper structural problems that no rebrand could fix.

This is not just the story of one church.
It’s the story of what happens when faith becomes a product — and believers finally walk away.
