About us

Jim Hopkin’s long role as an Elder has been particularly significant for the Browns Plains Congre-gation because he was the first and founding elder.

He pushed for the small Browns Plains Congregation to become independent and no longer a preaching place of the Acacia Ridge Church.  Jim also had a hand in the purchase of ten acres of land in Waller Road, at a time when it was all bush.

When two other elders were added, Browns Plains became a Home Mission Congregation with Jim Hopkin as Session Clerk. It was Jim who moved that a graduating student from the Queensland Theological College, Danny Mihailovic, become our Pastor and he remained such for the next 28 years.

With only 22 members, the fledgling congregation set about building a place to meet and launching the strong spiritual foundations that bind us together as a thriving Christian community today.

Our present pastor is Rev André Schwartz.

As an expression of God’s heart, families are our focus – from the aged to the babes. Out of our rich variety of backgrounds and experiences we learn from one another and grow together in our knowledge of God. Because of this we develop our love for each other, those alienated from God and the nations least reached with the Good News about Jesus Christ.
