"Justin is here, like tens of thousands of others, as a
delegate who is seeking to build stronger foundations into his
life," Hillsong Church said in a statement.

Bieber has made headlines for his hard partying lifestyle and
run-ins with the law in several countries, including a January
2014 arrest for allegedly racing a Lamborghini through Miami. He
announced in January on his Facebook page that he wanted to
leave behind his "arrogant" and conceited" behavior.
Last year, Hillsong's conference in Sydney attracted around
20,000 followers from more than 60 countries.
