‘Any male pastor wearing earrings won’t see this pulpit or minister at The Experience’ – Adefarasin

Pastor Paul Adefarasin says ministers who wear earrings will not be allowed to preach at House on the Rock or minister at The Experience.

Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Paul Adefarasin, has said ministers who wear earrings will not be allowed to preach from his church’s pulpit or minister at The Experience, the annual gospel concert he convenes.

Adefarasin made the declaration in remarks shared on his X handle, as reported by PM NEWS, where he questioned the practice of male ministers wearing earrings and insisted it would not be accepted in his church’s ministry.

His comments highlight what he considers the Bible’s position on the appearance of Christian ministers and the standards expected of those serving at his church and the concert.

The remarks place the issue within a broader conversation about appearance, Christian leadership and conduct in the church.

Adefarasin, a prominent Nigerian clergyman and televangelist, founded House on the Rock, a Lagos-headquartered ministry where he serves as Metropolitan Senior Pastor.

The Experience attracts renowned Nigerian and international gospel artistes and thousands of worshippers yearly. He is married to Pastor Ifeanyi Adefarasin, who ministers alongside him.
