THANK YOU ...

Stepping into ‘the merge’ of the two churches had some challenges and as we drew closer to voting for it in March, 2010. The process of getting there certainly was not something that I myself could have undertaken without the support of Nathan Trethewey who at the time of the merge was my Associate Pastor and the Hope City Church Malak, Worship Pastor.

For personal health reasons and after lengthy discussion Nathan decided that his time in each of those roles had come to an end. Consequently a few months ago now, Nathan stepped down from each of those roles. It was something not taken lightly by Nathan and Angela and ourselves as Hope City Church leadership.

Both Nathan and Angela, along with their children Caleb and Eliana are a loved and valued family and we love that they call Hope City Church their family also.

Nathan has a call upon his life I believe as a Psalmist and writes and plays beautiful God inspired worship songs. Songs that I sincerely believe will minister to many people around the world, and bring a colour to the world of people whom have no colour in their lives. There comes a time and there will be a season for this. I say with no doubt in my mind whatsoever, watch this space (as in the Nathan space).

I am grateful and thankful to Nathan for the support he leant me in a tough year, which was 2009. However, in hindsight I see it as a year and a season of labour pains for what we now are seeing the birth and subsequent growth of something 'new' that God is doing in Darwin with Hope City Church.

Again to Nathan (and Angela) THANK YOU!!

Always Hope,
Pastor Kieran

WALK THE WALL 2010

Hope City Church supports “International China Concern” (ICC) in a variety of ways. We assist financially a volunteer family (the Lynams) who work for ICC, Pastors Don & Kieran will be visiting in person shortly & for the last 3 years we have “Walked the Wall”...


Each year in September (this year it is Saturday 25th), ICC organises a walk-a-thon called Walk the Wall. The walk is 10km long and participants from all over the world put their walking shoes on, raising money for the many abandoned and disabled children in China.

Walk the Wall raises the necessary funds to provide full-time care for hundreds of children and adults with disabilities. Funds raised allow ICC to hire and train more therapists and workers. It also enables ICC to work with an ever-increasing number of families who have children with disabilities, providing the supports necessary to prevent abandonment.


Will you walk too or sponsor someone who is?

Hope City a Cell Church - getting CONNECTED

Connect groups are small groups that operate on cell church principles and are led by people who identify with the vision of Hope City Church. The purpose of our Connect Groups is to strategically and relationally see our city impacted for Christ!

We see a network of small groups spread across the suburbs of Darwin and the Palmerston region that are committed to …embracing people, building His kingdom and influencing our communities.

The goal of Connect Groups is to connect people into an established and embracing community of people to ensure that they have every opportunity to grow in their relationship with God and His Church.

What should I expect from CONNECTgroups?
• to meet with people weekly in a safe, inviting environment
• to be encouraged in your Christian journey
• to build authentic relationships
• a great place to bring your friends and family
• to be known to a small group of people, not be lost in the crowd
• that it may take a few times to find the right group for you as different groups appeal to different people
