Bethel Sydney is an extension of Bethel Church, Redding, sharing the mission of revival: the personal, regional, and global expansion of God’s kingdom through His manifest presence.
Bethel Sydney will be a dwelling place for the Lord—a house of worship that seeks to host the Holy Spirit above every other agenda. At the core of our gatherings will be a pursuit of God’s presence, where people encounter His goodness and are transformed. Our people will come into divine revelation of their identity in Christ, walking in the knowledge that we are a kingdom of priests with the privilege to minister to the Lord, His church and the world. We will be a family of joyful and hope-filled believers who prioritize deep love and connection with one another as well as a Gospel-centered church with a commitment to winning the lost for Christ and seeing a harvest of souls.
Bethel Sydney will be a place of discipleship and equipping, preparing and propelling people into their God-given callings. Our people will be sent out into a variety of places and realms of society to expand the kingdom of God with a display of its power.

Matt and Elizabeth King have been a wonderful part of our Bethel family for years. They are radical in their faith, and faithful in their commitment to seeing the kingdom of heaven come to earth. I am excited about the launch of Bethel Sydney–knowing that this couple carries a burning in their hearts for revival, and that Australia is ripe for harvest. This is a dynamic combination. I believe Bethel Sydney will bring additional support to the great move of God that is sweeping through that part of the world.

It is a great honor to announce the next Bethel Church plant in Sydney, Australia!
A few months ago I received a prophetic word from the Lord about a great reformation coming to Australia. Australia has been called the Great South Land of the Holy Spirit, and our dream is to see Sydney become a crucial part of that declaration. Bethel Sydney will be a hub for revival under the leadership of Matt & Elizabeth King, who are passionate in their pursuit of God, the purity of the Church, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Bethel Sydney will be a home where people find healing, breakthrough, and purpose in ways they never imagined.
I invite you to be a part of this incredible journey. Whether you are new to the Sydney area, searching for a community, or hungry to see revival and reformation sweep through Sydney, Bethel Sydney is a place where you belong. Together, we will see lives changed and cities transformed for the glory of God!
I can’t wait to see what God will do in and through this new expression of His Church. Welcome to Bethel Church Sydney—where the impossible becomes possible.The best is yet to come!
