Crossway Baptist Church is a Baptist evangelical multi-site megachurch based in Burwood East, in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The church is affiliated with the Australian Baptist Ministries.

History

The church was founded by the Reverend J. H. Newnham in 1954 as Blackburn Baptist Church.[1][2] The congregation originally met in a small hall as a Sunday school class on the corner of Holland and Canterbury Roads in Blackburn South.[1]

The church then relocated to 19 Holland Road, Blackburn South (now the site of New Life Evangelical Church), and later moved in September 1995 to the current location, 2 Vision Drive, Burwood East, after which it changed its name to Crossway Baptist Church the following year. In February 2008, Dale Stephenson became Senior Pastor of the church.Шаблон:Cn
