A Tongan group started in the 80s in Sydney under the leadership of Elder Sitiveni Fine. This Tongan Group became the “Tongan Company” on 27th April 1985 and the members were worshipping at the Ashfield SDA Church hall. Pr Barnabas Shelley was the pastor for the church. The “Tongan Company” moved to the Lakemba SDA Church property at 20 Ernest Street, Lakemba on the first week of July 1989 and was
called the Lakemba Tongan Company. Pr ‘Ilaisa Teaupa was the pastor. On 26th May 1990 the Lakemba Tongan Company became an Organized Church and was called the Lakemba Tongan SDA Church. On 19th February 1991, the Lakemba Tongan SDA Church bought the Lakemba Church property from the Conference. On 31 January 2008, the Lakemba Tongan SDA Church bought a 5 acres property at 124 George Road, Leppington, known as “Four Winds” to build a new church facility that would be big enough for the members and any future growth. The Lakemba Church property at 20 Ernest Street, Lakemba was sold at this time too. On 23rd February 2008, the Lakemba Tongan SDA Church moved and used the Hoxton Park SDA Church hall and the name of the church was changed to “Sydney Tongan SDA Church.”
On 9th June 2013 we had the Ground Breaking Ceremony to commence the building of the multifunction hall in 124 George Road, Leppington. The Multifunction Hall at 124 George Road, Leppington(Four Winds) was completed and opened on Sunday 30th November 2014. The Sydney Tongan SDA Church moved from the Hoxton Park SDA Church facility to this new facility. Praise God for leading His church and we believe that the next move for the Sydney Tongan SDA Church is to God's Everlasting Kingdom, Heaven.
