Every Saturday morning, people around the world including us here at Brisbane Karen Seventh-day Adventist Church gather to worship Jesus through music, prayer, and Bible study.

We’re a warm and welcoming community that speaks Karen as our main language, and we also offer translation in both Karen and English so everyone can feel included.

Our Sabbath morning starts with Sabbath School at 10:30am. Kids have a blast with songs, stories, crafts, and fun activities, while youth and adults join smaller, relaxed groups to read and discuss the Bible. It’s a great time to ask questions, share, and grow in faith together.

Around 11:55am, we take a short 15-minute break to refresh before heading into the main worship service.

From 12:15pm to 2pm, we all come together to worship with singing, prayer, and a message. Some weeks you might also enjoy special music, a children’s story, or a creative drama.

Every fortnight we have an AY Program. 

No matter your age, background, or language — church is for you, and we’d love to have you join us!

FAQ

When are worship services held?

Every Sabbath (Saturday) morning and at other times through the week, both at the church building and elsewhere.

Do I need a Bible?

No. You don’t have to bring anything—just yourself. If you would like a Bible, you can borrow one when you get here. You can also download a free Bible app to your smartphone.

Should I go if I don’t know anyone?

Our church is a place where all people are welcome, whether you’re younger or older, a lifelong Christian or a spiritual seeker. We would love to meet you! If you feel nervous, bring a friend or just send us a message.

Will I be asked to give money?

Every week we give our regular attenders the opportunity to support a variety of causes. It’s not required or expected that you give a donation, especially if you’re visiting us for the first time.

Will I be asked to speak publicly or pray?

If you participate in a small group Bible study, you’ll probably be asked to introduce yourself and to offer an opinion on what’s being discussed. But it’s not typical for a first-time guest to be singled out in the main worship service. Prayer is an important part of worship, and you are welcome to join in, but no one will ever force you to pray.

Who do I speak to if I have any questions?

Ask if you can speak to one of the leadership team—the pastor or one of the elders. Or just start with someone who looks friendly!
