(FW) – In recent years, pop megastar Justin Bieber has become increasingly open about his Christian faith. Indeed, on Wednesday night, he took perhaps his boldest step so far — by leading a congregation in worship. Bieber was spotted singing out his praises to God at Churchome, Beverly Hills — part of a network of congregations launched by Seattle megachurch leader and Bieber’s personal pastor, Judah Smith. “I never would have made it without you,”

the singer roared during the set. “Now I see that you were there for me!” In a video obtained by TMZ, Smith could be seen taking to the stage to commend Bieber in his gift of leading worship. “We first met when Justin was, like, eight or something in Toronto and he’s always been a worshiper and it’s a lot of who he is,” Smith explained. “I want to be part of a church where everybody gets a fair shake in using their gift to contribute to the community. Far be it from me to stand in the way of someone who clearly has a gift to lead worship.” CONTINUE
