Holy Annunciation Orthodox Church is a mission parish of the Diocese of Australia and New Zealand (ROCOR), led by our parish priest, Fr Alexander Borodin. 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.
We place Jesus Christ first in our daily lives, and are firmly grounded in Scripture and the unchanging witness of the Early Church.
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). We are immersed in the Bible, in liturgical worship and sacraments, because (as history confirms) the New Testament Church was immersed in 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, you must have a relationship with Him. We believe that sacraments are not just pretty trinkets, but the communication of God’s love to us.
This is the present day experience of New Testament Christianity. We invite visitors and those who are interested in the Orthodox faith to find their spiritual home here.
Come and experience the Church that Christ founded!
