Background church story
Pastor Norman and Pastor Barbara Miller planted a church in Cairns in 1996 and called it the Pentecostal Church of Reconciliation. In 1998, the Lord told us to change it to the Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace and be non-denominational. In 2000 we moved into Clare St Cairns where the first Pentecostal Church and later the first apostolic church were birthed in the early 1900’s. The Lord gave us the name Tabernacle of David for our local church and told us to keep the Centre for International Reconciliation and Peace as a para church ministry. So for 9 years we have been Tabernacle of David and it is very strong on our heart. However, we believed the Lord was calling us to make a fresh start with a new local church name – Healing Rivers Church.
