( PEOPLE.com ) -- Katy Perry 's parents , who are evangelical ministers , mentioned their famous daughter a number of times at religious services in Ohio on Wednesday , but sidestepped the issue of her divorce from Russell Brand . Keith and Mary Hudson , who arrived at Church on the Rise in Westlake , outside Cleveland , to host two nights of `` prophetic services , '' said they attend Perry 's concerts even though they do n't love the idea of people worshiping pop idols . `` I only go for one reason and one reason only ... because I love my daughter and I will always love her , '' Keith Hudson said . `` It was almost like church , '' he added of the concert experience , adding that Perry 's fans `` want to worship and they want to love , they are just worshiping and loving the wrong person . '' The Hudsons billed themselves as `` Katy Perry 's parents '' on marketing materials for the event , but then told the crowd of about 300 that they do n't need help from anyone famous -- or their relatives -- to find God . `` I 'm sure that Katy 's trending on the Internet was to get you here to church tonight , '' Mary Hudson said in her opening remarks . `` You do n't need a verse or a scripture . You do n't need Katy Perry 's father , '' Keith said later . `` In the news they call us , 'Katy Perry 's parents are religious . ' Do I look religious ? '' Keith , who did most of the speaking , said he converted from a drug user to a Christian when he was 24 years old . He touched on the evolution of church , developing a relationship with Jesus , and keeping a relationship with one 's children . `` What has taken place in my daughter 's life has opened many opportunities to go in and be with guarded and gated people , '' he said . `` They like us because we 're cool . We are not threatening . '' He added : `` The most important people on this Earth are your family . What would heaven be like without your children ?
