Our Story

The Street City Church is a story of the faithfulness of God in fulfilling His commission of reaching people with the life-changing news of His love and forgiveness through the work of Jesus Christ.

It all started in 1918 as a Mission Hall in Tory Street, amongst hovels filled with many broken hearts and often destitute families. Christian people used the Mission Hall to reach out with the love of Christ. After 10 years, the first Sunday morning service started in 1923 and, in 1928, a new brick building was built for the growing church.

In the mid 1950’s the leadership followed the vision and established a new facility in Mt Victoria 6 Elizabeth Street, a church built with a vision to broadcast the message of Christ across the radio.

Until the 1980’s live radio broadcasts regularly included children and adult choirs, musical groups and soloists. There has always been an ongoing commitment to mission. Many international mission organizations have had their beginnings through the people of this Church.

By the end of the millennium, it became clear that another building move was necessary and so a new facility in the city was developed and opened in November 2002.

The past decade has been one of foundations. Physically we continue to develop a multifunctional facility, and spiritually we continue to establish a model of ministry and mission for the 21st century.

It is our heart’s desire to impact our city, nation and world with the life changing message of Jesus Christ. And we know that God, who has begun a good work in us, will bring it to completion for His glory alone as he does immeasurably more than all we could ever ask or even imagine!
