C3 Church Bridgeman Downs began in April 1986. Our church originated from a vision Gordon Moore received to start a church on the Northside of Brisbane to reach out to the whole city and beyond. In obedience to that vision Gordon and Jo moved with their family from New Zealand on 15 January 1986.

C3 Church Bridgeman Downs held its first meeting in the Senior Citizens Hall at Kuran Street, Chermside. Since then it has grown steadily, starting with an attendance of 7 at the first meeting to 2,800 people today. 

In 1989 the church moved from Kuran Street to a rented industrial building in Boothby Street, Kedron. From Boothby Street, C3 Church moved to Gympie Road, Aspley in 1991. Meetings started in the original building on the block, but quickly had to initiate a building fund so that a demountable auditorium could be erected on the vacant land at the back, and the original church building could be renovated to include some office space, children’s church and creche. This building served the church well, accommodating three meetings per Sunday.

In April 1996, C3 Church Bridgeman Downs officially opened its new premises at 1910 Gympie Road, Bridgeman Downs. This is a building that is designed to serve the needs of the growing church membership, providing room for growth in the future, encompassing innovative ideas such as the cafe, parents room, facilities for children’s ministry, youth and community education centre, multimedia, studio and auditorium.
