The evidence we have seen concerning Shawn’s prophetic integrity has produced broken trust with his ministry. We believe that Shawn was not truthful in how he received his words of knowledge and prophetic words. We also acknowledge our belief that he engaged in sexually explicit and harassing behavior towards some members of his staff. We do not condone his actions, or endorse his ministry. We strongly advise you to take our position into account if you choose to interact with his materials.
Shawn Bolz was a trusted guest minister who frequently spoke on our platform and whose products were available in our stores. In 2019, allegations were made about his ministry practices, inappropriate behavior, and creating an unacceptable work environment. At that time, Bethel chose to stop platforming his ministry. Bethel has since faced criticism and taken accountability for not being more public about the situation sooner.
Bethel Church’s Community Guidelines and Safe Church process exist to continue the work of revival through supporting physical, emotional, and spiritual health within the Bethel community, and to provide a safe place if an unhealthy or unacceptable interaction or experience should take place.
