The Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Paul Adefarasin, has reiterated that male ministers who wear earrings will not be allowed to preach at his church or minister at The Experience, the annual gospel concert he convenes.
Adefarasin restated his position on Friday, November 13, saying that male pastors wearing earrings would not be permitted to mount his pulpit.
“Why will a man be wearing earrings?” he asked.
He added: “Any pastor wearing earrings can’t see this pulpit. Any minister wearing earrings will not minister at The Experience.”
The declaration follows similar remarks he made during a July 2026 sermon at House on the Rock, where he criticised the practice of men wearing earrings, describing it as a form of cultural and spiritual programming.
In the earlier sermon, he said: “A demonic system has programmed you to wear that which pertains to women. Why are you wearing earrings as a man? You are being programmed.”
He also associated the practice with what he described as a historical blood covenant and servitude.
The renewed declaration comes ahead of the 21st edition of The Experience, scheduled for December 4, 2026, at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, under the theme “Jesus, The Rock.”
Adefarasin’s position establishes an appearance standard for ministers seeking to preach at House on the Rock or perform at The Experience, rather than a general ban on men wearing earrings.
