Planetshakers City Church began its journey in February, 2004. Ps Russell and Sam Evans moved from Adelaide, South Australia to follow the call of God to plant a vibrant, passionate church that would fulfil the mandate ‘to empower a generation, to win a generation.’ The opening service of Planetshakers City Church (then Melbourne City Church) saw 900 people pack out Storey Hall as Ps Rich Wilkerson brought the word of God to Planetshakers City Church for the first time. Along with an initial team of 12 the church quickly grew and flourished under their care and leadership. Finding big enough venues to cater for the rapid growth became a challenge as more and more people heard the reports of God healing and transforming lives through the powerful praise and worship, dynamic preaching of God’s word and the personal encounters with Jesus.

Over the past three years Planetshakers City Church services have been held in venues across the city of Melbourne such as: Storey Hall (RMIT), Capitol Theatre, Arrow on Swanston, Melbourne High School, Melbourne Town Hall, and more regularly the church home is Dallas Brooks Centre in East Melbourne.

Powerful speakers such as; Chris Hill, John Bevere, Reggie Dabbs, Danny Guglielmucci, Jurgen Matthesias, Rich Wilkerson, Judah Smith, Glenn Berteau, Tim Hall, Neil Smith, Paul Geerling, have impacted the lives of thousands at Planetshakers City Church services over the past three years.

It continues to impact the community through its various ministries which include programmes for children, youth, university students, families, single parents, women and business minded people.
