I have been attending this church for just over 2 years now, at the 5pm service and I love it. Such…read morea variety of people from so many backgrounds are ready to chat to anyone who walks in to visit. Don't at all be surprised if you meet an engineer or someone in the health profession (nurses, dentists, doctors, etc.) - it is not a requirement that you are in these professions, it just appears that many people have drawn together here. There are many families, couples and single people doing life together and you do really feel the community here. The 5pm service runs at the same time as a young adults group called Fusion, running from about 4:30-6pm, including dinner, during the school term. There's also a creche for the smaller kids that runs during the 5pm service. After this service, supper is had together in another part of the church so you can come have a hot beverage to warm you, nibbles to survive you till you have dinner and mingle with some truly genuinely lovely people. So, whether you want to come and meet Jesus, meet new people, meet a friend, or maybe you just want to ask a question or few, you will be more than welcomed.

With a great team of pastors onboard, they truly act as role models and parents to the numerous international students here. It's a great, fun and family oriented church and one that I am fortunate to be part of sinced we made Adelaide our home. The best part post church service: we all head out for a huge Asian feast. Quick pointers: Sunday School, baby feeding room, cafe with drinks and warm rolls etc, mini indoor playground, toilets with disability facilities and accessible via bus or tram( walking distance from King William Road)

St. Spyridon is such a beautiful church, and Oxford Terrace is the perfect strip for its location…read more Covered with sheltering trees and beautiful lime green patterns with flowers, this church really is picturesque. For those interested in a religious sense, the church itself is of Greek Orthodox faith and named after the Patron Saint of potters and miracles. Father John is the main priest in this scared premises and he does a good job of holding services in both Greek and English languages. This is also the church I am most likely to attend come a rare Sunday or during Easter, like many other Greeks. My brother got married here (to a non Greek if that helps anyone- Greek churches can be a little funny like that) and there was no need for his wife to become of Greek Orthodox faith etc. It was of hardly any fuss, and their daughter was later baptized here and tear free through the entire ceremony- rare for a Greek baby not to cry during the "dunking"! The church itself is gorgeous and true to common Greek church architecture. There are arched tops and chanting bells visible from the outside, and then the inside is home to many religious icons, two levels of wooden seating, huge chandeliers and candles galore. Additionally St. Spyridon has a small primary school and preschool attached to it. For those interested in the educational aspect, my sister takes her two boys to ST Spyridon play-group, which she thinks is fantastic. Her and her husband are now seriously contemplating sending their sons to the primary school when they turn five. She has looked into a few schools, and so far is most impressed by St Spyridon. My brother in law also was also awed by the fact that St Spyridon kids have an undefeated soccer team. Typical.

Street church is where street preachers who know what the gospel is preach the good news in the way…read morethe gospel message of Jesus Christ should be preached. They don't worry about being hip, cool and trendy so they can compromise on the truth. They preach the gospel and sow seed amongst the rockiest ground and amongst the hardest hearts. They are hated because men prefer darkness than the light of Christ. The light of Jesus Christ shines and reveals the darkness in their hearts and lifestyles. It really is that clear !

The interesting thing about this church is that the bell tower was actually completed in my…read morelifetime. In fact, I remember for ages that the bell tower was half finished - not anymore. Anyhow, this is your typical Catholic Cathedral, which means that stations of the cross are presented around the walls, and there are also confessionals for you to let the priest know your horrible, dirty, and rather dark secrets (if you so desire). The church is rather nice though, and the thing that usually attracts me to the place really happens to be the art - I think religious art is cool, especially if done in the more traditional style, and the art in this cathedral is no different.

The city of Adelaide has a long held reputation as the 'City of Churches' and when you visit St…read moreFrancis Xavier Cathedral in Wakefield Street, you'll understand why. St Francis Xavier, in my opinion is one of our prettiest and most idyllic churches. Whether or not you're of the Catholic faith, a trip inside the Cathedral is quite an ethereal experience. You can't help but admire the architecture of the beautiful interior and no matter your faith (or lack of) it provides a place for private reverie that is matched by few others. Not only is there an actual quiet inside, there is an amazing mood of hushed calm. Despite my feeling of calm and quiet, the 'owners' themselves describe it as a busy place as it is after all a parish church and it is true because there's always an abundance of people inside - they're just really people in quiet reflection. Construction on the Cathedral began in 1851 and it has undergone a variety of changes and additions over the years. The installation of the tower didn't happen until quite recently in 1996. Interestingly the Cathedral wasn't considered 'finished' until the tower was completed which meant the ceremonial dedication didn't happen until almost a century and half after construction had begun. The church is open from 7.30 in the morning until 6.30 at night, 7 days a week and everyone is welcome to visit. There are several Mass services daily as well as Rosary and Confessions and the Church is available for weddings, baptisms and funerals. Alternatively if you don't want to be involved in any of the formal services, you can take a self guided tour at your leisure using one of the brochures available in the vestibule. Photographs are allowed - I would however take care using a flash if people are in the midst of prayer - and they do ask that you turn off your mobile phone.
