The Beginning

Five people. One home. A big vision.

The early days of Hope Church Adelaide

Brendan and Helen, with five others, moved from Melbourne to Adelaide and began Hope Church in a home in Klemzig.

They ran a university group during the week while working full-time, believing God for something bigger.
