This is our story

A new beginning

A rich history,

A new beginning

Birthed out of desire to establish a new worshipping community for those living in the Rossmoyne, Bull Creek and Willetton areas, ‘Mid-Southern Suburbs Church of Christ’ as it was then named, held its first service on October 17,1976 at Rossmoyne Senior High School.

In September 1979, they adopted the name "Bullcreek-Burrendah Church of Christ", and later just "Church of Christ Bullcreek”. In 1984, they built and moved into their own building — the one where we still worship today.


For the next 37 years, under the leadership of many wonderful servants, the church grew and weaved itself into the fabric of the local community. The church saw many lives touched and transformed by the love of Jesus. 


As with all living things, churches have life cycles and in 2021 the leadership of Bull Creek Church of Christ believed it was time for a rebirth of vision and mission. Discussions soon began with Lifestreams Christian Church South Perth, and in August 2021 it was voted that Bull Creek Church of Christ would close and be reborn as Lifestreams family of churches.


Lifestreams Bull Creek was officially launched in November 2021.
