There must be more to life…

Have you felt the growing sense that there has got to be something more?

The Bible says that God “planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]”.

If you’re done with going with the flow and want to know The Truth for yourself, we would be honoured to help you to discover God and get to know Him personally.

John Janman

Senior Pastor

Hi, and welcome to the Hope Church 2508 Website. My name is John Janman and I am the Pastor of the church.

A little bit about me: I was born again on January 6th 1990 when I was 24 and have been involved in various ministries in church ever since. I have served as a missionary in Zambia for 6 years altogether, with a stint of four years from 1996-2000 where we pioneered a church in a little town called Chingola and saw the Lord build an incredible church that is still going strong today. And we also did a stint of two years from 2007-2009 in a town called Ndola. Both times we saw God move in signs and wonders, the greatest miracle of all being souls saved and added to the kingdom of God. In between that I pastored a church in Thomastown Victoria for seven years where we saw God move powerfully in souls saved and miracles of healing and supernatural provision.

Last year, after serving as associate pastor, I took over the senior pastor role at Hope Church as our then Senior Pastor, Lionel Rattenbury was led by God to plant a church in Wollongong. I have three children, my oldest son is married, my daughter is engaged as is my younger son and they are all serving the Lord in their respective churches. Thanks heaps for visiting our site, may the Lord bless you and cause His face to shine upon you. May the Lord lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.

Love and prayers, John Janman.
