Shirelive Church, Contemporary Pentecostal church in Sutherland, New South Wales, Australia.
Horizon Church occupies a site at 7-9 Stapleton Avenue in Sutherland, where a 2007 building project replaced the earlier auditorium with a 1090-seat convention centre. Inside, tiered seating slopes toward an open lower floor, reached by two angled aisles whose steps are lit in blue; a dark rectangular screen sits centrally above the floor, and the seats and walls are finished in black.
Originally established in 1949 as Sutherland Assembly of God, the church underwent several name changes before becoming Shirelive in 2006 and finally adopting the Horizon Church name in 2018 under the leadership of Pastors Brad and Alison Bonhomme.
The name changed with each rebrand: Sutherland Assembly of God, Christian Growth Centre, Shire Christian Centre in 2000, Shirelive in 2006, and Horizon in 2018. Services are also held online, and the church runs satellite congregations at St Andrews in south-western Sydney, Busselton in Western Australia and Rote Island in Indonesia. Members practise speaking in tongues and believe in divine healing.
Located at 7-9 Stapleton Avenue in Sutherland, the church conducts regular Sunday services with online streaming options available, and operates satellite locations in St Andrews Sydney, Busselton Western Australia, and Rote Island Indonesia.
Notable congregation member Scott Morrison, Australia's former Prime Minister, has been associated with this church, which also operates international missions including support for churches and aid programs on Rote Island in Indonesia.
