Open Icon Baptist Church acknowledges that we live on unceded Aboriginal lands, many of us on the lands of the Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri peoples. We express our gratitude at the sharing of this land; our sorrow for the personal, spiritual, and cultural cost of that sharing; and the hope that we may walk together in harmony in the spirit of reconciliation.

Open Icon Baptist Church is affiliated with both the Open Baptists and the Baptist Union of Victoria.
