“#Hillsong COO downsizes NYC apartment amid founder charges<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

This Hillsong higher-up\u2019s life is going south, as she downsized to a downtown NYC apartment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amid the ongoing controversy and scandal surrounding Australia-based megachurch Hillsong, its chief operating officer is trying to sell her swanky Manhattan pad and has downgraded to a cheaper, smaller unit.<\/p>\n

The Post can report that, according to property records, Hillsong COO and executive pastor Tolu Badders has listed her Upper West Side one-bedroom<\/a> and purchased a more affordable studio in the West Village.<\/p>\n

While her prior split-floor apartment boasted one-and-a-half baths in a full-service doorman building, her new unit features a single bathroom and a bedroom alcove tucked next to the kitchen sink. The married church leader \u2014 who rose in the ranks at Hillsong after volunteering for the New York branch in its fledgling years \u2014 is trying to sell her former home near Central and Riverside Parks for $925,000, according to the listing. She purchased her new unit in late May for $800,000, property records show.<\/p>\n

In an online bio<\/a>, Badders describes her daily responsibilities as consisting of overseeing \u201cthe day-to-day running of church life\u201d at Hillsong\u2019s NYC branch, which was sent into turmoil along with the Christian institution\u2019s reputation when former celebrity pastor Carl Lentz was fired for cheating on his wife in November.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before news<\/a> broke of Lentz\u2019s scandal, the father of three and former friend of Justin Bieber sold his Montclair, New Jersey, home for $1.5 million. The sale closed just 11 days before Hillsong\u2019s founding pastor, Brian Houston, told the church\u2019s global congregation that the star-loving churchman had been let go as a result of \u201cmoral failures\u201d and \u201cbreaches of trust,\u201d The Post reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although her new NYC pad may not be as spacious or pricey as her last, Badders is far from the only Hillsong pastor with a news-worthy crib.<\/p>\n

Hillsong pastor, and CEO of its eponymous TV network, Darren Kitto calls an over 7,000-square-foot, $3.4 million Newport Beach, California, property his home.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Houston, the son of Hillsong founder Brian Houston, \u2014 who was this week charged with concealing his father\u2019s pedophilia and faces five years behind bars if found guilty \u2014 and wife Lucille have enjoyed a variety of luxurious California addresses, from a gated Newport Beach property with panoramic views of Disneyland\u2019s fireworks to a 7,700-square-foot pad boasting landscaped outdoor areas, a fireplace and vaulted ceilings.<\/p>\n

Other members of the Hillsong hierarchy varyingly enjoy multimillion-dollar mansions with spas, pools and sun decks galore.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a church, Hillsong does not pay taxes on its revenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hillsong did not respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
