Bethel Church has announced the launch of a new church plant in Sydney, Australia. This marks a significant expansion for the Redding, California-based megachurch, known for its emphasis on revival and the supernatural.

The new church, named Bethel Sydney, will be led by Matt and Elisabeth King, a dynamic pastoral duo with a deep passion for ministry. The Kings, who have been integral members of the Bethel family for years, bring a wealth of experience and a heart for revival to their new roles. They have previously served as missionaries in Europe and have been involved in various ministry capacities at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry.

Bethel Sydney aims to be a hub for spiritual renewal and community transformation. The church’s vision is to create a space where people can encounter God’s presence, experience healing, and find purpose. “We believe that God has marked Australia at this time,” said Matt King. “There is such a hunger for a genuine experience of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.”

The announcement of the new church plant has generated considerable excitement within the Bethel community and beyond. Bethel’s senior leaders, including Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton, have expressed their support and enthusiasm for the Sydney plant. “Bethel Sydney will be a home where people find healing, breakthrough, and purpose in ways they never imagined,” said Vallotton.

The launch of Bethel Sydney comes at a time when Australia is experiencing a renewed interest in spiritual matters. The church hopes to tap into this momentum and contribute to a wave of revival across the nation. “We fully believe that we will see God move through Bethel Sydney in powerful ways, bringing additional support to the move of God already happening there,” the church stated in a formal announcement.

As Bethel Sydney prepares to open its doors, the Kings and their team are focused on building a strong foundation for the new church. They have already begun forming a core team and planning outreach initiatives to engage the local community. The church will also host regular worship services, prayer meetings, and discipleship programs to foster spiritual growth and community connection.
