Learn more about our journey, our faith, and our community since 2012.
The Australian Tamil Church (ATC) is a full Gospel, charismatic church established on 6 May 2012 by a small Tamil-speaking Christian community in Sydney. The church was founded with a vision to worship and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ in both Tamil and English.
ATC is firmly rooted in the authority of the 66 books of the Holy Bible, believed to be written and inspired by the Holy Spirit. The church operates under a New Testament model of plural eldership governance, consisting of Pastors and Elders who provide spiritual oversight and leadership.
The organisation is registered with NSW Fair Trading as ATC Sydney Inc and with ASIC under the trading name Australian Tamil Church.
On 18 September 2015, a second entity—ATC Life Centre Ltd—was established and registered with ASIC as a public company limited by guarantee. This entity exists primarily to advance education and community welfare. Its Board of Directors comprises members of the Australian Tamil Church Executive Management Team, ensuring alignment in vision and mission.
The church is blessed with the leadership of Pastor Ranjan Ignatius, a dedicated and humble servant of God who was called into full-time ministry in 2004. In recent years, the church has continued to grow in both leadership and outreach, ordaining additional Pastors and Elders into ministry.
ATC has also established a permanent place of worship in Seven Hills, transforming an industrial building into a vibrant house of God. Over 80 individuals have publicly declared their faith through water baptism, and more than 250 people regularly attend Sunday services.
Through Spirit-filled preaching and ministry, many have experienced healing, transformation, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The church has expanded its outreach by establishing additional services in Homebush, including regular Tamil services.
Prayer and pastoral care remain central to the life of the church. ATC is committed to praying for families, communities, nations, and especially for the elderly, the needy, and the sick. This heart of compassion and faith continues to define the church’s mission and ministry.
At Australian Tamil Church, our beliefs are firmly grounded in the truth of God’s Word and the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, who made humanity in His image. God eternally exists in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each fully God, equal in power and glory.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God—His virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary death on the cross for the sins of humanity, His bodily resurrection, and His ascension to the right hand of the Father.
We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, and all who put their faith in Him are declared righteous. Through His sacrifice, we are restored into a right relationship with God.
We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God. We also believe in the person and work of the Holy Spirit, who dwells within every believer, empowering them for holy living and effective ministry.
We believe in water baptism as a public declaration of faith and in the baptism of the Holy Spirit for spiritual empowerment.
We believe in the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of all people, and eternal life for those who are in right relationship with God through Christ.
We warmly invite you to join us for our Sunday worship services, where we gather as a community to worship, grow, and experience God’s presence.
