Our Story

Richmond was planted in 1894 when a small and courageous group started meeting in a home in the neighbourhood. In 1895 the first part of the church building was built and became the new shared home for the young church. The people of Richmond worshipped King Jesus and loved the neighbourhood for the next 116 years. 

In 2010 another small and courageous group took a risk and invited a young Pastor to partner with them on mission in this neighbourhood. In January 2011, Elliot Keane started as the new Pastor. Together Elliot, 'the originals' and some passionate new people began to figure out together what it would look like to be a church family that generously gave itself away to the neighbourhood.

We’re still figuring out what it means to love our neighbours, each other and King Jesus. We like trying new things, meeting new people and challenging each other to live as generous, courageous, vulnerable, hospitable and hopeful people. We’re still practicing what it means to be family together, living as sisters and brothers, aunties and uncles together.
