Houston married his wife, Bobbie, in 1977 and moved to New South Wales, Australia the following year. There, he started a church on the Central Coast as well as one in Sydney's north-western suburbs. In 2000, Houston combined two churches that he was in charge of in order to create what would later become Hillsong Church. The original congregation had only 45 people, but it would later grow to have over 35,000 members.
