Christian Life Centre (commonly abbreviated to CLC) is or was a name given to a number of Pentecostal churches in Australia, many of them affiliated with the Australian Christian Churches (formerly Assemblies of God, or AOG) network.
The latter left at the end of the year,[1] but this CLC grew into one of the first mega churches in Brisbane under Chandler, and later into a national and international organisation.
[2] Chandler later rejected the teachings of the earlier Pentacostalist movements, and in 2000 Brian Andrew took over as leader.
[15] As of 2022[update] Hillsong College retains the official trading name of Sydney Christian Life Centre Pty Ltd.[16] The Liverpool Christian Life Centre was founded by John and Carol McMartin in 1982,[17] and renamed Inspire Church in 2010.
[18] [19] In late 2020 John McMartin stepped down from his role, which was taken up by his son, after being charged with sexual assault of a 19-year-old woman at his home, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
