About Me:
Australian Darlene Zschech is acclaimed all over the world as a singer, songwriter worship leader and speaker, most notably for spearheading the music that comes from Hillsong Church. Although she has achieved numerous gold albums and her songs are sung in many nations of the world, her success is not the result of pursuing stardom and fame –it stands as a testimony to her life’s passion to serve God with her musical gift.
Early musical beginnings
Music has been an integral part of Darlene’s life since she was a child. Born and educated in Brisbane, Australia, she was 10 years old when she began performing in a weekly children’s television show, singing, dancing and hosting segments.
As a teenager, Darlene fronted various local gospel bands in Brisbane before she started singing on the session scene in Sydney. This included background vocals for some of the best in the business and recording jingles for McDonalds, Special K, KFC and Diet Coke.
Music and ministry
Music was always going to characterise Darlene’s life but it was her decision to serve Jesus Christ at the age of 15 that has determined her path and destiny. For the past 20 years, Darlene and her husband Mark have been a vital part of the leadership team at Hillsong Church in Sydney, which has a congregation of over 18,000.
Even in its early years, the church always valued contemporary praise and worship, and has gained a worldwide reputation for excellence with its singers and musicians.
As the church’s Worship Pastor, Darlene oversees a team of over 800 volunteers in the Worship & Creative Arts department. With multiple church services every weekend, Darlene also leads worship most weeks for the Hillsong Television program, which reaches over 180 different countries across the globe.

Who I Want to Meet:
Well, we are on our way home from what has been
a memorable and very amazing trip to say the least.
Our time in Switzerland and Rome has been quite
overwhelming.. working with pastors and leaders who
have been ploughing tough spiritual ground for many
years.. To come alongside them and just worship God
together is an immense privilege and to encourage
the teams who lead the worship day in and out is one
oflife'sgreat pleasures.
The only down side of this part of the trip is that
basically we are all coming home a little fatter... As
wehave been served homemade breads and fondues
andpasta and pizza (the real thing) and have you ever
triedsaying no to an Italian about food? NOT GOING
TOHAPPEN! So... Leading worship and feasting is VERY
scriptural (Old Testament for sure..) But they used to
walk a lot more then! Anyway... Team is headed back,
Ihave one more stop at the magnificent Willow Creek
ArtsConference to speak on raising up the next
generation..And finally home. Thank you to all of you
for your prayers..They have made all the difference.
Much love as always... Darls.
PS... Keep praying for Brandon Gillies though, who had
hisfirst coffee ever, a macchiato in Colombia, and
basicallyhas been drinking strong coffee ever since..
May need todetox him at home!!!! Xx
