Denomination: Church of Christ
Subiaco Church of Christ is a member of the Association of Churches of Christ in Western Australia. There has been a Church of Christ in Subiaco for more than 100 years, since its foundation in 1898. During that time it has had a notable line of pastors from H.J Banks, who arrived in 1903, to the previous pastor, Dr Graham Johnston, who began his ministry there in 1989.
The church has been well-known for its music: under Charles Nelson, the church had an orchestra, and choir for many years; today there is a worship team of musicians, singers and composers who released the church’s first CD, “As We Wait” in 2004.
For more than 70 years, Subiaco Church has played a major role in religious education in government primary and secondary schools. In the 1970’s and 1980’s, Jeff and Dora Gordon pioneered a new model for the care of children before and after school. Members from Subiaco helped establish other churches, as well as Bethesda Hospital, well-known as a hospital of quality. Subiaco was also the first church in Australia to experiment in units for the aged built on normal suburban blocks.
