Church overview
Hobart City Church of Christ is a Christ-centred, Bible-based, and community-focused church located in the heart of Hobart’s CBD. With more than 150 years of faithful ministry, we are entering a significant new season as we pursue our vision of Creating spaces of hope and compassion where everyone can encounter Jesus.
We are a regional church serving Greater Hobart, drawing a multigenerational congregation from across southern Tasmania. Our central location positions us uniquely for community engagement, civic partnership, and practical service, particularly through the Hobart Clothing Hub.
Hobart City Church of Christ is affiliated with Churches of Christ in Victoria and Tasmania (CCVT) and operates within a Policy Governance (Carver) model, providing clear distinction between governance and operational leadership. We are committed to CCVT shared values, ethical standards, and Church Safe practices.
We are seeking a spiritually mature, collaborative, and visionary Senior Minister to lead us into our next chapter of growth, discipleship, and community impact.
