Michael Pilavachi, MBE (/ˌpɪləˈvɑːtʃi/; born 7 March 1958) is a British charismatic evangelist, former Anglican minister, and author of Greek Cypriot descent. He is the co-founder and former leader of the Soul Survivor charity based in Watford, England.
In May 2023, he was suspended from ministry while under investigation for safeguarding concerns, having stepped back from ministry the previous month. Pilavachi resigned as Associate Pastor of Soul Survivor Church, Watford, on 11 July 2023. In September 2023, the internal investigation being undertaken by the Church of England was completed: they substantiated the accusations against him and concluded that "he used his spiritual authority to control people and that his coercive and controlling behaviour led to inappropriate relationships".[2]
