Bendigo
Bendigo was planted in 1980 by Pastors Tim Hall, Ian Fenn and Jeff Hulls out of a desire for Bendigo to have a Pentecostal church. In December of 1981, the land on Solomon Street was purchased, and with faith joined and sacrifices made the Wallara Chapel was built in 1985 to meet the needs of the rapidly growing church. More facilities were built and many lives found life and hope in Jesus.
Fast forward to 2016, where Pastors Kerrin and Tegan Wallis moved to Bendigo to become the Senior Pastors. In this time we have seen growth, health and ministries launched. In 2020 the church hall was renovated and extended to accommodate the growth and expansion that the church had experienced. Today Connect Church Bendigo is one of the significant churches of our region.
