What a Sunday! On February 18, 2007 we had the Grand Opening of our new church building - we moved from a cafe into a tv studio - the C3 Studio Center.
On our first Sunday in the new building, we welcomed Ps. Chris and Phil Pringle, our founders, President of Christian City Church International and Senior Ministers of the movement’s largest congregation in Sydney, Australia.

Throughout the day, we had 450 people visiting our church. By the end of the day, 20 people found salvation in Jesus.
But the best of it all: We only had two days to turn an empty, dirty tv studio into a church. And we did it! God worked miracles and mobilized everyone to clean floors, windows, kid’s rooms, restrooms, Mother’s rooms, scrub walls, vacuum long hallways, assemble a stage, assemble 300 chairs, hang up lanterns, hang up banners and posters, roll out carpet, and much more.
I’d love to share Before and After photos with you to show you how we all rose to a new level to build God’s house.
What a blessing to have Phil & Chris in town for our first two services in the new place. In the morning service, Chris gave us a beautiful message and reminded us girls that we are precious creations of God and made to be beautiful and strong. Chris is an amazing woman and even if you think church and all this is not for you, you would get an inspiring and encouraging word from her preaching.
I pray for all my girls to get to know, meet, hear or see her to get a revelation of how wonderfully God works in - and through - us.
We have been given the greatest gift of all: life! Let’s be thankful, be bold, make a difference, dream big and live with a purpose.
‘The future is not a place where we go, it’s a place we create.’
