Partnered with Hope Centre
For over 40 years Desert Life Church has shared the gospel from Australia’s Red Centre, Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.
Desert Life Church is a part of Hope Centre. We have a strategic alliance and kingdom partnership with Hope Centre. Our church, our staff and leadership team come under the direct oversight of the Senior Pastors, Wayne and Lyn Alcorn, as part of the Hope Centre family. Together our kingdom partnership sees a fusion of ministry, vision and resources which strengthens both churches, to see more effective ministry in the Northern Territory and beyond.
Desert Life Church and our Pastoral team are part of the Australian Christian Churches (ACC), one of Australia’s largest Christian movements which is seeing explosive growth across our land.
