Welcome

This site provides information about activities at our Church. For more on our Teachings and Beliefs, visit the main Church website, or check the links below for details about activities at other Church locations.

We warmly invite you to visit us in person or join our online activities, as listed in the events section below.

Our History

The Christian Israelite Church commenced in Yorkshire, England, in 1822. An Australian branch was established in late 1839, and in 1853, the Sydney Church at 196 Campbell Street, Darlinghurst, was built. It has been in continuous use ever since.

Today, while many Members live remotely, the Church remains a missionary presence in the heart of Sydney. Though it may not be open every weekend, it continues to provide a place for fellowship where Members can gather. We look forward to the time when it will again host a larger, locally-based congregation.

This Bible message explains the true meaning of ‘living water’ using Isaiah’s promise that God supplies all water for life, both outwardly and inwardly. Just as our bodies cannot survive without water, we cannot live spiritually without God’s Spirit. Jesus Christ revealed that He is the water of life and that those who receive this water inwardly — not only outwardly — are promised life of spirit, soul and body at His return.
