Paradise Community Church is a member church of Australian Christian Churches. The church is based in Paradise, a north eastern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, and has three satellite locations in the north and west of the city, and in the city centre itself. It is pastored by Ashley and Jane Evans. Ashley Evans is the State President of Australian Christian Churches in South Australia, a position he has held since 2002.

The church was founded in the early part of the 20th century after meetings held in Adelaide by Smith Wigglesworth. Andrew Evans took over the church in 1969 when it was based in Klemzig. By the early 1980s, the church had grown from 150 in 1969 to over 2,000 people. In 1981, the church bought the current property in Paradise and it was officially opened the following year.
