About

A church on the Gold Coast since 1928.

We’ve been here a long time. Here’s our story, what we believe, the team you’ll meet on Sunday, and the way we walk with people through life with Jesus.

Our story

1928. Land was purchased at 9th Avenue, Palm Beach, and a small church was built. The congregation became known as Tugun Baptist Church.

1971. Rev Arthur Hooker was appointed as our first fully supported minister.

1982. A steering committee from the church established Southern Gold Coast Christian Community School · 37 students, Years 1 to 7. That school is now Hillcrest Christian College. It’s the most significant thing this church has ever done.

2001. The church relocated to 10 Gemvale Road, Reedy Creek, was renamed Reedy Creek Baptist Church, and dedicated the new facilities on 21 July.

Today. A growing congregation with community alive every day of the week.

Our direction

Loving God. Loving People. Making Disciples.

The way we live this out is a journey we call Pathways Towards Jesus · three movements held together: UP (towards God in worship and prayer), OUT (into the community in love and service), and IN (into one another’s lives in honest relationship).

What we believe

The things we hold to be true about God, Jesus, the Bible, and what it means to follow him.

“If any of this is unfamiliar or you have questions · that’s welcome. Come and ask. There’s no qualifying exam to be here.”
