Church in Queensland , Australia
AIR Church , formerly Metro Church (registered as Metro Church Australia ), located on the Gold Coast, Queensland , Australia, is a Pentecostal church affiliated with Australian Christian Churches .
History
[ edit ]
The church was pioneered by Garry McDonald in 2006 with a clear and specific focus to help people understand the nature of the grace of God. [1]
Metro had its official launch in March 2006 at the Gold Coast Convention Centre .[2]
In 2008, Metro received an old church facility at 116 Ridgeway Avenue Southport as a freehold gift. This was renovated and re-opened in August of that year. In late 2018 the Southport building was sold and became a mosque ,[3] and Metro Church relocated to its current Varsity Lakes venue on Scottsdale Drive in December the same year.[4]
Senior pastors Dave and Jenny Gilpin were appointed on 28 November 2020, after the McDonalds had completed their term.[5]
The church was renamed to Air Church in August 2021,[citation needed ] with its business name changed to Air Church Australia on 17 September 2021.[6] The Gilpins resigned as senior pastors in May 2022 to do itinerant ministry.[7] Pastors James and Sally Foord[8] were commissioned as the new senior pastors on Sunday 29 May.[9]
Former director, Garry McDonald and the board were in dispute over financial matters; however this was settled outside of court.[10]
Description
[ edit ]
AIR Church is a Pentecostal church affiliated with Australian Christian Churches (the Australian branch of the Assemblies of God ).[11] The senior pastors as of May 2022[update] are James & Sally Foord.[12]
The business entity remains incorporated as Metro Church Australia,[13] and it is still registered as a charitable organisation under this name.[14]
