“The Church is not merely a building; it is the best place to deepen our relationship with God and share His love with others”. Pastor Thang Tungnung, Zo Baptist Church Adelaide
In December last year, the Zo Baptist Church Adelaide welcomed almost 80 visitors from Zo Baptist Church Melbourne. The visitors were billeted out to host families from the church in Adelaide, who opened their doors, offered beds, meals, and genuine hospitality.
Zo Baptist hosted a number of events over this time, including an ‘Opening Celebration’, combined services, youth events, and a New Year’s Day picnic, giving everyone ample opportunity to connect as one family.
Having previously moved from Melbourne themselves in 2016, Pastor Thang Tungnung and his family started Zo Baptist Church Adelaide, alongside three other families.
With a shared heritage from Chin State and Sagaing Division in Myanmar, the name ‘Zo’ was chosen for the church to honour their ancestors, the Zo people.
Zo Baptist Church Adelaide was welcomed into membership at Baptist Churches SA & NT as an affiliate in 2023, then as a full member church in November 2024.
