With devotion to the gospel of Jesus Christ, this multicultural, cross-generational church maintains a tradition of strong Biblical teachings during Sunday morning services and other ministries throughout the week. The church building reflects a harmonious mixture of Eastern and Western cultures through its unique hexagonal shape.

Buddhists who come to the temple seek to take refuge in the Triple Gem – the Buddha (the teacher), the Dhamma (teachings of the Buddha) and the Sangha (community of monks). Focusing on Pali chanting, meditation, Dhamma teachings, novice ordination, blessings and Buddhist festivals, it is for those who seek a path of peace within.

A multi-ethnic Christian church committed to the teachings of Jesus, it has people from over 58 different ethnic backgrounds worshiping on Sundays. The church provides several community outreach programs including Play Time on Wednesday, Youth Group on Friday, counselling services and activities for women, young adults, families and seniors.

The planting of trees indigenous to Fairfield in the Elders Garden was completed during NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) week in 2006. The garden has seating and shade, a perfect spot to stop and rest.

The bush tucker path gives visitors an opportunity to learn about native plants eaten by Australian Aboriginals for more than 60,000 years. Signage along the path provides information about the plant, how it was prepared and used by Aborigines. Many foods are baked in hot campfire coals or baked for several hours in ground ovens.

The walls of the mosque are filled with salat; the five daily prayers performed before sunrise, noon, afternoon, sunset and evening. The most important celebration is the month of Ramadan, regarded as a celebration of purification with a feast at the end of the month called Eid ul-Fitr.

The venue for all traditional cultural activities of the Vietnamese Community including annual remembrance ceremonies for King Hung, the Founder of the nation of Vietnam and various historical national heroes. Built over 10 years with tireless community effort to raise funds to contribute to construction and opened with great pride in 2005.

Unveiled in March 2016, this project involved capturing images by artist Marian Abboud through workshops held with various community groups. It culminated in the design of four distinctive blades that capture the essence of the Bonnyrigg community.

Phap Bao Pagoda is devoted to the objectives of Buddhism ‘the way of life’ which includes manifesting the Buddha’s great virtue, strength and compassion, follow and practise the Buddha’s teachings (the Dharma), establish a foundation for long-term Dharma studies and develop loving kindness in the noble Dharma.
