Broken Hill Church of Christ

When we refer to what ‘our church’ believes, you have to realise we’re speaking loosely. It is hardly ‘our church’; it is, we trust, Jesus’ church.  We can sometimes call it our church, which is just a sloppy way of talking about it among ourselves. Some think we’re a bit different to other churches.  It all depends on how you look at it.  We hold to a particular doctrine that the Bible is the inspired inerrant Word of God.  So we try to make that part of all we teach and preach.

The Federal Conference of the Church of Christ in Australia planted this church at Broken Hill in 1890, just seven years after the initial ore-find by Charles Rasp. We built our first meeting place on the corner of Wolfram and Chloride streets in 1909, planting another church in Railwaytown shortly afterwards. After a period of renewal in the 1970’s, we purchased the former St. Joseph’s Convent of Mercy in 1982, which substantially fire damaged in 1979. Originally, our vision was to use the facility as a youth refuge, however as community values changed over the years, we hosted a Bible College and started offering hospitality. More recently, God led us to scale back what we were doing there, and following the sale on 3 May 2019, we concluded our last church service at The Old Convent on 7 July 2019. In March of the same year, we purchased the Railwaytown Centre in 55-59 Gypsum Street. Join us at our new venue on Sundays at 10 am.
