The house band has sold millions of records. The services have lines around the block. And the congregation sometimes includes people like bono and bieber. And the pastor is a hipster heartthrob. Tonight, what makes Hillsong Church so popular and so controversial . And what abcs byron pitts that asked the pastor that made him cry. Reporter this is hillsong, new york. Your granddaddys church, its not. Hand raising, heartthumping hipster style christianity. The lines to get in are long. Blocks long. Filled mostly with young people. We are here to have an encounter with jesus. Reporter the pastor, 36yearold carl lints. Brad pitt looks, billy graham theology. God will bless you in areas you didnt know you needed to be blessed. Reporter among the faithful, a whos who of entertainment and sports. Bono and hugh jackman have attended. Kevin durant was baptized by pastor carl, as well as celebrity bad boy justin bieber. Celebrities are part of new york city. We figured, were going to reach everybody here. We say from the faithless to the famous. Reporter and they come in droves. Close to 8,000 worshippers, spread over six sunday services. What goes on in here . A Typical Service for us reporter theres nothing typical about your service. Thats probably screw. Reporter the sanctuary, a rented new york ballroom. How do you explain the success of this sure . Its grow egg, but were not trying to have this big hot trendy cool packed church. Its awesome. Reporter Hipster Church . That is a term that im like what does that mean . The story is not the clothes people wear. Its the lives theyre living. Reporter we talked to members who say how hillsong helped t eed them reconnect witr faith. Just the message of gods love. Its a positive environment where you come in and you come and you leave feeling much better than you came in. It seems like its a pretty tumultuous time in culture. Response to that has been the really shallow world of social media, smoke and mirrors living. So, you come into church and there is a there is a realness to it. Its hitting a core that people didnt know they had. When we first moved here reporter on the streets of new york, pastor carl keeps it real. Whats up, brother . Reporter hes known to offer a word or prayer to anybody, anywhere. I ive been with pastors who dont know anyone outside that door. I dont look at it as this giant metropolis as much as our local parish, if you will. Reporter it did seem for a moment in our interview, leading a church this big, growing this quickly, can sometimes overwhelm a pastor this young. You cant fake who you are. You are who you are. Reporter who are you . I love people. Reporter tell me whats up. I really want to have, you know, the same heart for people that jesus did. Which is to not see what everybody else saw, but try to dig a little bit deeper. I feel like thats how i was reached. I feel like there are people that look over all the stuff that i had going and saw stuff in me that i didnt have going on. Reporter he may have given a glimpse of humanity, but he shut it down with humor. Dont show this, byron. This is fake its all for show oh. Reporter hillsong, new york, is the u. S. Flag ship of a global movement, started in sydney, australia, by Senior Pastor brian houston, 30 years ago. I feel like music and reaching young people, its gods kiss. Hes graced us for it. Reporter there are satellite churches today from london to paris, kiev to cape town. If you walked into all of them, youd see a similar demographic of people. Close your eyes and you could say, i think im in any one of our Hillsong Churches their in t anywhere in the world. Reporter the feeling stems from the music. We started singing and writing songs in our church and we were surprised when they started singing them in other churches all around the world like they are now. Reporter its called hillsong united. Simply put, theyre one of the hottest bands on earth. Take my deeper reporter with hits like oceans, hillsong united has sold over 16 million albums and is now nominated for its First American music award. It felt like i was backstage at a concert. There were technicians off to the side. Folks there behind the keyboard, the headsets on. Less groupies, though. Reporter joel houston is colead pastor in new york, but also guides hillsong united. Music has an incredible ability to break down walls and to reach peoples hearts. Reporter a snappy beat, a smidge of scripture have made for a winning and profitable combination. How vital is the music to funding what you do at hillsong . Well, it plays apart, for sure. And its been reporter a half, a third . You know, to be honest, i really cant answer the exact amount. Were a nonprofit, so, all of the finances come into the nonprofit and are used for the ministry. Reporter like many megachurches, hillsong is shy about discussingc their financ. At the service we attended in noeshg, we were asked not to film the offetory. You see their sacrifice here. Reporter one areas critics have seized upon are social issueshomosexuality. The church comes out of a pentecostal tradition. The only way getting out of that life is through jesus. Reporter theology steeped in Old Testament tradition. You went on the record some years ago, saying that homosexuality is a sin. Right. Reporter how does that impact how you lead a church where there are gays who may want to come to hillsong . Thats exactly why we we see it as a conversation. The apostle paul described homosexual till as sin. I cant unwrite the bible. But on the other hand, were not a church that is going to make big blanket sweeping statements. Reporter if a gay couple came to hillsong, would you want them to change . The short answer is, all of us need to be changing. But well never be the kind of church who, when people join the choir, we ask them, are you homosexual . Well never be that kind of church chlgt. Reporter another part of hillsongs job, as pastor brian sees it, is growth. This is the future. Reporter his other son, ben houston, just opened hillsong los angeles. And already, those familiar lines are forming for sunday Services Inside this rented theater. God is moving. Reporter with a church so dependent on young people, the question is, will they some day outgrow it . The shepherds and the sheep insist its not the nuance that makes hillsong work. Its the name you hear over and over again. Jesus. The story, the thread, has to come back to jesus. Reporter nightline, im byron pitts in new york. Up next here, could you survive a plane crash or being stranded at sea or a shark attack . What about all three at once . Our reporter gives it a go.

Your whole life just goes in front of you. Reporter as the water rushes in, passengers manage to escape before the plane sinks. All but one of them survived.

Grab a Reference Point before you undue your seat belt. Reporter got that . If you are about to crash, instruck torps say hold onto something. After the crash, remove any obstacles like arm rests and only then unbuckle your belt and then get to a window or a door as quickly as possible. A little tense, but i made it. Nice job reporter now, the hard part. A different scenario altogether. This time, the dunker simulates a boat capsizing in the open ocean. The winds howling. But the way to save yourself, the same. Reference point, obstacle, door, seat belt. I get the belt off and find the door. But there are three handles and i dont know which one will open the door. Im turning the wrong one. Nearly a minute in, im running out of air. I have to tap out and allow the rescuers to do their job. Instantly, they yank me out. Watch again how quickly they pull me from the boat, jerking my body through the dur and to the surface. If that had been in a real world situation skrould been a bad day. Reporter i would have been dead. You would have been dead. Reporter but im not dead and i had to try it again. Rewarded with that high five. But what if you do survive the crash. Then what . The coast guard takes us out in the water. They have me jump into the chilly chesapeake waters to fend for myself. I think i could swim about a mile, 800 yards 1,000 ya. They say not to. Stay put. It burns a lot of energy, especially with a life jacket on. Just wait for help to arrive. Dont scream, because no one will hear you above the engines. Try to wave your arms in the air, if you have a flare, use it. Most important, stay calm. Let the coast guard and others do their job. Reporter a few minutes later, they haul me out. What if they hadnt . Just this week, these kayakers found themselves in sharkinf t sharkinfested waters off the coast of florida. A 13foot hammerhead shark trailing them for two miles.
