Last Sunday morning Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton, and Dann Farrelly took time to address criticism that had rightly been raised by the global Body of Christ concerning the way Bethel Church leadership navigated broken trust in Shawn Bolz. We wanted to take time to communicate our grief and repent for the areas in which we have failed and contributed to pain and mistrust by not speaking out earlier.

As we continue in this time of sober reflection, we are allowing the Lord to sift our hearts that we might walk in holiness, righteousness, purity, and the fear of the Lord before Him and before those whom He has entrusted us with.
