Living Church

“Isn’t it incredible how this building has been a place of worship since the 1900s?” This is the Living Church in Carina, Brisbane. You will find it at 1541 Creek Road. It has been a beacon of faith for the community here for over a century. It’s more than just a building, it’s a living, breathing entity. It has seen generations come and go, witnessed joyous weddings and sorrowful funerals, and heard countless prayers whispered from humble hearts. For many years, it was known as Creek Road Presbyterian Church, but in more recent times, they have reinvented themselves as Living Church. Their website is full of information about their services: Sundays at 9:00 am and 6:00 pm. They even have a livestream for those who can’t make it in person. Though the church has gone through many changes – from its name to its services – its core values of faith, community, and hope have remained strong. It’s a place where people find solace, comfort, and strength. This church serves not just the immediate community. The website mentions that Living Church has an urban campus down in South Brisbane, known as City South Presbyterian Church. This church, a newer addition, meets in a converted warehouse. They are passionate about reclaiming space for churches in a busy urban environment. But their biggest challenge was finding an accessible building that fits their vision. The original intention was to stay at the Queensland Theatre Company building in South Brisbane, but they eventually had to move on. It’s a story of a church that embraces the city’s complexity, its creativity, and its commitment to staying relevant in a changing world. As you look at the Living Church, remember that it’s more than a building with walls and stained glass windows. It’s a symbol of belief, a testament to the power of faith, and a cornerstone of the community.
