Hillsong Church is a Pentecostal megachurch affiliated with Australian Christian Churches and located in Sydney, Australia. The church’s senior pastors, Brian and Bobbie Houston, began the church in 1983 as the Hills Christian Life Centre in Baulkham Hills. Hills Christian Life Centre later merged with Sydney Christian Life Centre at Waterloo. Over 20,000 people attend services each week. While headquartered at its Hills campus in Baulkham Hills' Norwest Business Park in the Hills District, Hillsong is a multi-site church with another congregation, designated the City campus, located in Waterloo, near Sydney's central business district. In 2009, a third Sydney campus, South West, located in Campbelltown and a fourth interstate campus, the Brisbane campus in Mount Gravatt, were added. Apart from the four main campuses, Hillsong Church currently has 15 extension services across Sydney.
