Our History
The Serbian Orthodox Church opened in Richlands, Queensland in 1976, several years after the site was purchased in 1968. The old recreation shed was demolished and approval sought for construction of a new hall in 1979. This hall was built behind the church and has since been extended several times. The residence for the priest was completed in the south eastern corner of the block on the Bandara Street boundary circa 1980. Construction of the buildings was carried out gradually as the church community raised funds for ongoing work. Members of the community also donated their labour. The names of those who laid the foundations of the church are preserved underneath the church.
Our Mission
Our mission is to be a beacon of Orthodox Christianity in the city, to provide a place of worship and spiritual growth for all, and to serve our neighbors with love and compassion.
