CFC South began on 25 August 2018 as a church plant from CFC Seaton, a church whose story traces back to a teenage revival in 1976. With a vision to establish a life-giving church in Adelaide's southern suburbs, CFC South first gathered at the Hallett Cove Civic Centre,and later transitioned to Reynella Primary School for a number of years. Since Nov 2024, our church home has been at Morphett Vale Seventh-Day Adventist Christian Church. Because SDA congregations hold their main worship services on Saturdays, CFC South is able to utilise the building at 130 Pimpala Road, Morphett Vale for its Sunday services. 

From the very beginning, one message has remained at the heart of everything we do—the good news of Jesus Christ. It is a message for everyone, bringing freedom, hope, forgiveness and God's transforming love. Through His faithfulness, lives have been changed, people have found healing and purpose, and our church family continues to grow as Jesus builds His Church.

CFC South was planted and established under the faithful leadership of Pastors Tim and Niki Lochens. Over more than six years of ministry, their warmth, wisdom, servant-hearted leadership and deep love for people helped shape the culture and foundations of our church. Their passion was to see every person encounter God's love, find belonging in His family, and discover their place in His mission. As they concluded their ministry at CFC South in February 2024, we remain deeply grateful for the lasting legacy they have left.

As the church entered a new season, Pastor Claire Henning stepped into the role of Lead Pastor in August 2025, continuing the vision of helping people know Jesus, grow in faith, and make a difference in their community. Together with our leadership team, we remain committed to building a healthy, Christ-centred church where every generation can encounter the presence of God and experience the hope found in Jesus.

Today, CFC South is a vibrant and welcoming church family, passionate about loving God, loving people and serving our community. As we look to the future, we do so with confidence, believing that the same God who has faithfully led us from the beginning will continue to guide us into all He has planned.
