Our College

Forty years ago, on 14 April 1985, Brisbane Christian College was birthed as Southside Christian College. What began with just 16 primary-aged children and 12 dedicated staff members in a renovated industrial site has flourished into the thriving community we know today as Brisbane Christian College. This year, 40 years on, we have expanded to three campuses, with over 1200 children and nearly 200 staff members from Pre-Prep to Year 12 who are being equipped to step into their God-given purpose with confidence and faith.

From the very beginning, our College was birthed from the heart, vision and dedication of Life Church (previously Southside Christian Renewal Centre). With four decades having passed and our identity firmly rooted as a ministry of Life Church, we are blessed to receive the spiritual covering of Life Church’s Senior Pastors, Geoff and Lee Blight.

Life Church Vision

Life Church exists to reach people with the love, grace and power of the Gospel by building a large, Bible-based church where the presence of God is seen and felt, empowering people to lead in every area of life.
