St. George & St. Mary Mother of God Macedonian Orthodox Church is a church building in Epping, Melbourne, constructed with stone and brick in traditional Orthodox style. The structure features a central dome and ornate bell tower that rises prominently above the residential neighborhood.

The church was established in 1995, marking a milestone for Macedonian immigrants who had settled in northern Melbourne during preceding decades. Its founding reflects how communities built religious institutions to maintain their heritage in a new country.

The congregation gathers here for services in Macedonian and English, keeping religious traditions alive while connecting with the local Australian community. Visitors experience how faith traditions adapt and blend with contemporary life in the suburbs.

The church sits next to the Macedonian Community Centre with parking available for visitors. Regular services take place throughout the week, giving people flexibility to attend and experience the space and community.

A monument to Goce Delčev, a key figure in Macedonian history, stands within the church grounds. This statue creates a visible link between the Australian congregation and their historical homeland, making distant roots tangible.
