Lentz was fired as the pastor of Hillsong NYC last November for moral failures, and admitted to cheating on his wife.
The scandal led to further allegations against the wider leadership of the New York church, including sexual relations between staff and volunteers, a culture of pandering to celebrities, and lavish spending of church funds.
The allegations were investigated but the findings were not made public.
Houston has already apologized for failings at the East Coast campus and promised to make changes.

The minister sat down with NBC s Today show to briefly discuss the controversies surrounding Lentz, and the network also noted changes at two other Hillsong churches: the resignation of Darnell Barrett, creative director of Hillsong Church Montclair in New Jersey, and the resignation of Reed and Jess Bogard from Hillsong Dallas which has since closed.
