Welcome to Refinery Life Australia
Whether you are exploring Christianity, returning to church or looking to grow in your faith, you are welcome here.
Refinery Life Australia is a Pentecostal ministry led by Gary and Amanda Hoban. We seek to help people know Jesus Christ, understand the Bible, grow in prayer and serve God faithfully.
What You Can Expect
Our teaching centres on Jesus Christ and the authority of Scripture. We believe the Holy Spirit continues to equip and empower believers for Christian life and ministry.
You can expect biblical teaching, prayer and encouragement to put your faith into practice. You are welcome to ask questions and get to know us as you consider your next step.

Questions About Faith
Do I need to understand everything before I connect?
No. You are welcome to come with questions. Learning to follow Jesus involves growing in understanding, and we encourage honest conversation alongside careful study of the Bible.
Who made God?
Christians believe that God is eternal: He has no beginning or end. He is the Creator of everything that came into existence and does not depend on anything else for His existence.
Where is God when people suffer?
Suffering raises difficult questions, and those questions deserve compassion. The Bible presents Jesus as One who entered human suffering, bore our sins and conquered death through His resurrection. We may not understand every circumstance, but we can bring our grief and questions to Him and support one another through difficult seasons.
