Mark Driscoll Criticism

In the fall of 2014, a group of elders released a report on an investigation into accusations of bullying and intimidating behavior by Driscoll made by 21 former church elders. The investigation involved “some 1,000 hours of research, interviewing more than 50 people and preparing 200 pages of information.

The report concluded that Driscoll had never been charged with immorality, illegality or heresy, and considered some of the accusations against Pastor Mark to be altogether unfair or untrue.” Additionally, the report found that many of the “other charges had previously been addressed by Pastor Mark, privately and publicly. Indeed, he had publicly confessed and apologized for a number of the charges against him, some of which occurred as long as 14 years ago.

 However, elders did find bullying and patterns of persistent sinful behavior by Driscoll. The board also concluded that Driscoll had been guilty of arrogance, responding to conflict with a quick temper and harsh speech, and leading the staff and elders in a domineering manner, but was not charged with anything immoral or illegal. Driscoll maintained that he had not disqualified himself from ministry.

Mark Driscoll Ministries

Driscoll, Lief Moi, and Mike Gunn founded Mars Hill Church in spring 1995 and officially launched it in fall 1996. The church first met in the Driscolls’ home. By spring 1997, the church had relocated and expanded to two services. Driscoll later reflected that he was not ready when he planted Mars Hill at age 25.Mars Hill Church’s main campus in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood

Later in 1997, he was invited to speak at a Leadership Network pastors conference in California. The speech he made inspired many within the nascent emerging church movement and, according to Driscoll, shifted the movement’s focus from reaching Generation X to reaching the postmodern world. As a result, Mars Hill Church and Driscoll were thrust into the national spotlight: he was interviewed on National Public Radio and Mother Jones magazine published a feature on the church. Mars Hill Church grew from 160 members in 1996 to 350 in 1999.

Mark Driscoll Hillsong United

Mark was to appear at Hillsong Church’s 2015 Australian and UK conferences but a petition against his appearance at the conference collected 3000 signatures, prompting Hillsong Church Senior Pastor Brian Houston to cancel Driscoll’s planned speaking event. However,  the Hillsong conference presented a 30-minute taped interview of Mark and Grace Driscoll interviewed by Houston at the conference.
