Justin Bieber has arrived in Australia. And it's not to perform.

It’s so weird it’s got to be true.

Justin Bieber is in the country. He flew out from America in his fancy private jet and touched down in Sydney this morning.

The reason? No, not to see his possible-girlfriend-but-probably-just-friend Hailey Baldwin, who is here to launch a line of denim for Topshop. Not even to perform a live rendition of his incredibly catchy song ‘Where Are U Now’ (don’t judge – it’s wonderful).

Nope – he’s here to go to church.

21-year-old Bieber is in the country for a week-long Hillsong church conference, which kicks off tonight and is being held at Sydney’s Allphones arena. Tens of thousands of church followers are expected to turn up.

It seems like a bit of an odd combination. Hillsong, a church that mixes music and Jesus, and Bieber, a singer that mixes alcohol and dangerous driving. But apparently Biebs is good mates with some notable Hillsong people, like NYC pastor Carl Lentz and pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr.

He even ditched the Billboard Music Awards to go to a Christian conference instead, apparently.

Hillsong confirmed the addition to the conference with a statement that asked for privacy. Fat chance of that, guys.

“People come from across the world to Sydney each year to attend Hillsong Conference. Justin is here – like tens of thousands of others – as a delegate who is seeking to build stronger foundations into his life,” the statement read.

“He is not participating in the conference in any other capacity. Out of respect for his privacy we will not be making further comments.”

Biebs attends the Hillsong church in NYC and used to take ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez there all the time.

The attendees were asked to focus on the conference and not be distracted by the celebrity faces that are going to swing by. Just face ahead and sing along, friends. Don’t stare at that small kid with low-slung pants and a backwards cap.

The Hillsong church conference runs from June 29th to July 3rd.
