HisHouse church is led by a dedicated team of people who, like the churches of the New
Testament, share all major decisions and responsibilities. They come from all walks of life
and are all mature Christians, highly committed to the future of HisHouse Church and the Wollondilly community. The team recognises the authority of God, and realises that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our passion and goal is to equip the believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ.
