Pastor Carl Lentz was terminated from Hillsong Church East Coast, based in New York City, Hillsongs global senior pastor, Brian Houston, announced in a statement Wednesday.

The 41-year-old preacher was fired following ongoing discussions about leadership issues and breaches of trust, plus a recent revelation of moral failures, Houston said.

In an Instagram post Thursday, Lentz admitted that he had been unfaithful in [his] marriage, the most important relationship in my life and held accountable for that.

This failure is on me, and me alone and I take full responsibility for my actions, he wrote. I now begin a journey of rebuilding trust with my wife, Laura and my children and taking real time to work on and heal my own life and seek out the help that I need.
