Ann Street Church of Christ, Christian church in Brisbane, Australia
The Ann Street Church of Christ is located in Brisbane's central area and serves as a place for Christian worship and gatherings. The building accommodates the congregation and is regularly used for religious meetings and services.
The congregation formed on 23 September 1883, linked by support for evangelist Stephen Cheek, who died earlier that year before the church began. In September 1898 minister William Clapham and his wife Martha led the church to buy the 1881 building, previously the United Methodist Free Church, for £1,100. In 1912 an outreach to Hawthorne began as a Sunday school and became the Hawthorne Church of Christ in 1914.
The congregation has carried several names: Disciples of Christ, Ann Street Church of Christ and now Your Church in Brisbane City. It holds public worship each Sunday morning and is affiliated with the Churches of Christ in Australia, a movement rooted in the Restoration Movement.
The church is easily accessible in central Brisbane and welcomes visitors to its gatherings. Information about times and activities is available online for those who want to plan ahead before visiting.
The building was put up in 1881 for the United Methodist Free Church, and the congregation only bought it in September 1898 for £1,100, led by minister William Clapham and his wife Martha. Digby Denham, Queensland's Premier from 1911 to 1915, was a leading member around 1900 and helped found the University of Queensland and the Queensland Ambulance Service.
