Hillsong

About Brain & Bobbie Houston - The Founders of 

Brian and Bobbie Houston have experienced an amazing emotional journey; expanding from the very birth of Hillsong and seeing it expand across the world and helping people grow as Christians. Having three talented children, Joel, Ben and Laura; it has been Gods way that they all have become a part of the expansion of the Hillsong Church.

Having a huge passion for introducing people to Jesus is what drives Brian and Bobbie to keep exploring new adventures and ways to help people connect with God. With a huge amount of experience in leadership and ministry, Brian is an iconic Christian speaker who spreads Gods word both nationally and internationally, inspiring hope and faith to thousands of communities. Born in Auckland, New Zealand, growing up with his brother and three sisters, Brain studied at Bible College and shortly after met is now wife, Bobbie. Also born in New Zealand, Bobbie became enthralled by the love of God and by the age of 15 she started to dedicate her life the way of Christianity and to follow Jesus.

Moving to Sydney in 1978, after they were married, Brian and Bobbie fell into their destiny and recognised Sydney's need for a bible-based contemporary church and so started the Hillsong vision in the form of 'Hills Christian Life Centre'. Expanding from original 45 attendees, Hillsong Church was born and now it continues to provide a channel of Gods Words in major cities such as London, Kiev, Cape Town, Paris, Stockholm and Moscow.
