Our Story
One Hope Community Church began as Wantirna Christian Community Church (WCCC), a church plant out of Box Hill Reformed Church, meeting for the first time at the Knox Gardens Community Hall in Argyle Way on June 14, 1992.
Paul Bearup was our first pastor and the church was very passionate about reaching the local community and young families, which continues today. On July 2, 1995 WCCC was instituted as part of the Christian Reformed Churches of Australia.
​
Ray Rus arrived in March 1996 and ministered in our community for 14 years. Glenn Dekker joined as our pastor in 2007, continuing until 2018, when he embarked on another church planting venture. In 2007, we rented an old shop in Cavell Street to use as a church office and in 2011 we moved our Sunday Services across Stud Road to Scoresby Secondary College, where we changed our name to One Hope Community Church.
​
We purchased ‘Cavell Corner’ as our community hub. In 2022, we redeveloped this into 'Community @ Cavell' - a new ministry centre designed so we can continue to reach out to the local community, looking to move people in following Christ in every context of our lives.
​
Our current Pastor, Andy Buchan, joined us with his family in November 2022 and we welcomed Sana Raja as Vicar (minister in training) and his family in December 2025.
Partnership
We love having visitors, and you are welcome at One Hope anytime! As you settle in, you are invited to move from being our regular guest to a Ministry Partner.
​
We believe ministry is a two-way street. Partnership is a commitment to one another—where the church supports you, and you help build the church.
This shared commitment unlocks opportunities for leadership and voting, while encouraging us all to grow through:
​
-
Serving within our community.
-
Giving generously to God’s work.
-
Attending regularly to encourage one another.
Through partnership, we grow deeper in our faith and work together to bring God’s mission to life in our local community.
