Steve Timmis, the founder of The Crowded House, has been transitioned out of his role with Acts 29 following allegations about his leadership style.
This was followed by an article in Christianity Today about his conduct in the church. On 7 February Steve Timmis resigned as an elder of The Crowded House.
The church said: ‘We have valued [Steve’s] ministry among us and his role in founding the church. Many of us owe him a personal debt.
‘We also feel the weight of the stories told in the article. It is therefore our intention to ask someone from outside our network to explore what has happened and make recommendations. It will be for that person to shape the process, but we want to listen to all concerned with humility. We are willing to hear where we may have failed people. We recognise the need to open ourselves up to external and impartial scrutiny.’
