We are an Orthodox Christian congregation living the ancient, biblical faith of the New Testament Church; a part of the same Church that was founded by Christ, preached by His apostles, and carried on by their successors, through the centuries, to us today.
Holy Annunciation Orthodox Church is a parish of the Australia and New Zealand Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR). We are the only Orthodox Christian parish in Brisbane dedicated to the worship of God in the English language.
Our parishioners are from all over the world, with birthplaces spanning from Australia and New Zealand, to Russia and Southeast Asia, to the British Isles, South Africa, North America and beyond. All are united by our common faith, and we welcome any to join us, and experience the Church that Christ founded.
The faith we live is the faith of the New Testament Church, devoting ourselves “to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers” (Acts 2:42), just as the historic New Testament Church was devoted to these. We believe that Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, sent to die for our sins, raise us to eternal life and unite us with His Father in heaven. We believe that knowing about God is not enough – rather, we need a relationship with Him. We believe that sacraments are not just symbolic, but the communication of God’s love to us. In short, we believe that our Church is the present day experience of New Testament Christianity.
Come and experience the Church that Christ founded!
