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.

Getting Closer to God: Exploring Beyond the Physical Realm
In a fast-paced world driven by rapid scientific and technological achievements, we often find ourselves facing life's deepest questions regarding our true identity, purpose, and worth. Our recent seminar provides a structured, Scriptural look into the boundaries between our material universe and the divine, examining the Biblical framework of the spirit, soul, and body, and the eternal promises made to Biblical Israel.
The video of these presentations is now available to stream at your own pace.

Recent Messages
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.
