Shawn Bolz appears to be taking time off from ministry following allegations of sexual misconduct and false prophecy claims.

On the Bolz Ministries site, the only thing currently listed on the page reads, “On a Sabbatical.”

At the time this article was published, Bolz had also not made a statement on the situation on his social media platforms, including Instagram, X, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube or Rumble. These accounts appear to either be private or have had content removed.


Bethel Church released their statement on Bolz on Sunday, which stated:

We ask for you to cover us with grace as we seek the Lord for forgiveness in the face of some grievous mistakes. These actions were taken by us (Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton, and Dann Farrelly) along with Danny Silk. We would like to clarify that our other leaders and staff members, including Brian and Jenn, and the Bethel Music team, were not updated on the allegations or the details of the process. We take responsibility for the fact that we did not properly and fully bring discipline, closure, or clear and timely communication regarding the gravity of our concerns with Shawn Bolz. This was someone we platformed to preach and prophesy in our house and with our teams on many occasions up until 2019. 

Bethel’s Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton also issued individual statements in this case.
