Our Story

The beginning history of Bridgeman Christian Outreach Centre

In l991 an annexe was started at Carseldine QUT campus out of the mother church of Christian Outreach Centre, Mansfield. (today known as “Citipointe COC”)

In August l993 Pastors Alan & Pat Wills were commissioned to pioneer the work and to establish it as an independent COC. The church continued to grow and in February l995 Alan & Pat were ordained as Senior Pastors of COC Brisbane North. The church continued to meet at the University Campus until 2001 when 5 acres of land was purchased at Bridgeman Downs and subsequent plans were put into Council for building approval.

During the building project the church met on the mezzanine level of A-Mart at Virginia. Finally in August 2003, with approximately 400 people in attendance, we celebrated the opening of the new church building and re-named it Bridgeman COC.

The new church home saw members take on a new level of ownership and identity with the vision which carried it into a season of growth. Today Bridgeman remains a strong and flourishing local church with a strong emphasis on faith, miracles and influencing the local community.
