Matt Redman reveals input into Mike Pilavachi safeguarding investigation

Popular singer and songwriter Matt Redman has disclosed details of his time at Soul Survivor Watford as its founder, Mike Pilavachi, is being investigated for safeguarding concerns.

In a post on his social media accounts, Redman said he spent “years trying to fully heal” from his time at the church, revealing that he and his wife Beth had previously reported being “mistreated” but were “ignored, patronised or gaslit by those in leadership”.

Revealing he has contributed to the current investigation, the Grammy-award-winning singer said his statement was prompted by Pilavachi’s recent resignation announcement and “in particular some of the replies to that on social media”.
