Ben Houston is the Global Online Lead Pastor of Hillsong Church.
Like his siblings, he has resorted to following his father’s footsteps in religious preachings and took over the leadership of the Hillsong Church.
His father, Brian Houston, is the founder and senior pastor at Hillsong Church, Sydney, who later established churches worldwide.
Brian is one of the notable and influential evangelists in Australia. However, he has recently resigned from his position from the Church amidst the investigation into his inappropriate behavior toward two women.
Hillsong Church Pastor Brian Houston Son Ben Houston Age Gap Revealed
Ben Houston and his Hillsong Church pastor father, Brian Houston, have about forty years of an age gap between them.
Pastor Brian is currently 68 years old. He was born on February 17, 1954; meanwhile, Ben was born on February 14, 1982.
As father and son, Brian and Ben are close to each other and share a good bond over their work, despite the huge age difference between the two.
Now that Brian has resigned from his duties of the Hillsong Church at the age of 68, all three Houston children might be busier than before to fill up their father’s duties.
Ben Houston Family Ethnicity Explored
Ben Houston’s family ethnicity traces back to New Zealand, where his father was born.
Though all the Houston children were born in Australia, Brian had moved from New Zealand to Australia in 1978 after marriage in 1977.
Brian was born in Auckland, New Zealand, to his Salvation Army officers parents; Frank and Hazel. When he was three, his parents had joined the Assemblies of God in New Zealand and began pastoring a church in Lower Hutt.
That was when pastoring passed down in the Houston family and will continue to do so.
