Parish Council
St Paul’s operates by a Parish Council which makes determinations on the direction of the Church, upcoming events, the Church body’s public purpose, goals and vision in line with Holy Orthodoxy, and putting into practice steps to achieve those aims. Through the grace of God, the Parish Council has committed much progress in community outreach and charity, the expression of the richness of liturgical life in the community, the integration and promotion of the Church’s youth as the inheritors of our Church’s community’s spiritual gifts, and the collaboration with Antiochian Orthodox churches across Victoria and nationwide with the direction of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, New Zealand and the Phillipines.

The Parish Council promotes spiritual labour as a communal act, and calls upon the community of St Paul’s to share in evangelism, skills, care and leadership. We thank God for blessing our Parish Council with the boldness in faith and care that has helped our Church community continue to grow throughout its years. We pray that we may continue to spread His blessings through the work of our Parish Council.
