The first major growth for the Tiberias Church of God in Sydney began with the forming of a church at Sydney Boys High School, under the shepherding of Pastor Charles Jap. Later on this church was given more responsibility by God through the ordination of the Tiberias Church of God, Sydney on 13 June 2002 by Pastor Yesaya Pariadji, in his capacity as Senior Pastor of the Central Tiberias Church in Indonesia.

In line with the mission of Tiberias Church Indonesia, Tiberias Church Sydney also took on the following Service Mission: "Preparing a holy and missionary congregation who are ready to enter the Heaven"

With God's word in Mark 6:12-13, John 6:54-56, James 5:14-16, Tiberias Church understands the power of God behind the Holy Communion and the Anointing Oil. This declaration of God's power has been proven through the many real testimonies from people who have experienced the touch and power of the Holy Spirit.
