About Hope Community Church

Our Heart is to Connect People with the Living God

Welcome to Hope Community Church Childers. We believe the church is not a building but a group of people growing with God together. We're passionate about telling people the Good News of Jesus, FREE eternal Salvation to all who will choose Him. We're about restoring and building healthy relationships, firstly with God and then each other. People are born for more and as we follow Jesus, He leads us into a new life. God has the answers. Please, come join us.

Our Story

Hope Community Church began in 2002 under the name of THE ROCK CHRISTIAN OUTREACH CENTRE by Senior Pastor Perry Riddell. In 2003 Wayne and Debbie Leonard were appointed Senior Pastors. Nigel and Jo Allwood arrived in 2004 and served as Assistant Pastors. In 2008 Pastors Nigel and Jo Allwood became Senior Pastors. The name was changed to Hope Community Church to reflect the Lord's vision and we have been blessed mightily by God. We are one of over 1,500 churches worldwide belonging to the International Network of Churches (INC), formerly Christian Outreach Centre. The shared vision is Australia for Christ. You can visit the INC website here. You can read a detailed article about the beginnings of Christian Outreach Centre by clicking here.  We believe everyone is born for more and the path to living it is found in a loving relationship with Jesus and being connected to a local church. One of the primary roles of our church is to equip people to share the Good News of Jesus with a world that desperately needs Him. Come, join us. Let the Lord change your life forever.

Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4 NKJV
