Wikipedia's article on Hillsong Church, community edited. Used for the 1983 founding in Baulkham Hills, the Houstons as founders, the 2018 separation from the Australian Christian Churches into an autonomous denomination, current governance (the Hillsong Global Board and Eldership, the Dooleys as global senior pastors since February 2023), the 2024 count of 28 Australian churches and presence in 27 countries, and the 2022 network contraction following Brian Houston's resignation. Reliability tier 3: community edited, checked here against the Religion Unplugged financial report for the revenue figures rather than relied on alone for anything numerically contested.
