Transformation Church

Disgraced former Hillsong NYC pastor, Carl Lentz, made clear on Instagram Tuesday (May 9) that he is “no longer in ministry” despite recently joining Pastor Mike Todd’s staff at Transformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as a strategist.

Tim Ross, who serves as Transformation Church's oversight pastor, delivered a brief statement on the church's hiring of disgraced former Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz.

In a surprise move, disgraced former Hillsong Church pastor Carl Lentz has joined the staff of the nondenominational Transformation Church in Tusla, Oklahoma. The church is led by pastors Mike and Natalie Todd.

Pastor Michael Todd, whose previous object lessons have raised eyebrows, recently jumped in a bed on stage during a sermon about relationships. While warning about the consequences of making “counterfeit connections,” he cuddled with a female mannequin torso, adding pieces to the body.

In his Jan. 16 sermon on having God’s vision for our lives, Pastor Michael Todd gave an object lesson that involved smearing mucus and saliva on his brother's face on stage.

Transformation Church in Bixby, Oklahoma, calls generosity part of its “culture code,” and that was especially evident this Christmas season.

Pastor Michael Todd encouraged leaders to discover the “pace of grace”—a pace that will enable them to stay in leadership for the long-haul, in other words, a pace that is sustainable.

Transformation Church in Bixby, Oklahoma, is facing action from the city if church leaders do not take sufficient measures to tone down the noise created by the church’s worship services.
