A church for every background
Ancient faith.
A shared church life.
You do not need to be Assyrian, know our prayers, or understand every part of our worship before you come. Friday Night Preaching and Bible studies are for everyone — seekers, visiting Christians, and members.
Sunday Divine Liturgy is also celebrated for those who belong at the Eucharist. If you are discovering the faith, begin with a ministry or a conversation with Reverend Father Neil Makko.

Sunday worship
Divine Liturgy is also celebrated each Sunday.
An additional path, especially for Christians baptised in an apostolic Church. The Liturgy is in English at 8:30 am, 32–40 Kosovich Place, Cecil Park.
Who may receive the Eucharist
The Eucharist is for Christians baptised in an apostolic Church — Orthodox or Catholic — in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, after speaking with the priest. If that is not your situation, you are welcome to observe the Liturgy; please remain in place and do not come forward to receive.
If you are new to the Christian faith, you may come and observe. Please do not receive the Eucharist. Friday Night Preaching or a Bible study is usually a better first introduction.
