American singer, Selena Gomez has parted ways with Hillsong Church amid pastor Carl Lentz’s cheating scandal.
According to reports, Selena Gomez does not want anything to do with Hillsong anymore.
According to The Daily Telegraph, sources say the 28-year-old singer had become “bitterly disillusioned” with the church after Lentz’s affair with designer Ranin Karim came to light.
Other factors that contributed to her leaving the church are her 2018 split with member Justin Bieber, and a withered relationship with church founder Brian Houston, who let go of Pastor Lentz and his wife Laura in November amid the infidelity scandal.
According to a source close to the singer, Selena Gomez considered herself a Christian and she has a close relationship with God.

The Daily Telegraph source said: “At one stage she adored Carl … she, Brian, his daughter Laura and Justin were a team, really close, she used to hang out with Brian’s daughter-in-law Esther, now she doesn’t want anything to do with Hillsong anymore.”
The source told the publication that “Selena considers herself a Christian” and “she says she has a close relationship with God, and she believes this is not how God wants us to operate, she’s disillusioned.”
