Koorong grown to become a beloved name in Christian households across Australia. It all began in 1978 when Koorong opened its doors in a humble garage on Koorong Street in Marsfield, Sydney. Since then, we have been on an incredible journey, touching the lives of countless individuals with our commitment to providing quality Christian resources.
Like many place names throughout Australia, 'Koorong' is rooted in the Indigenous language. Specifically, for the Kulin Nation clans in Victoria, 'Koorong' is derived from the Woiwurrung word meaning 'canoe'. Additionally, it is believed to encompass the essence of a waterhole or oasis. We find great joy in embodying an oasis for our cherished customers, providing a place of refreshment and nourishment amidst life's journey.
Koorong aims to be a community bookstore for all Christians and seekers. With Australia's largest selection of Bibles and Christian resources, our range spans denominations, languages, and cultures. Koorong is not affiliated with any particular denomination.
The Gospel unites our staff and yet, we are diverse in our experiences, backgrounds, age, and denominations.
Under the leadership of Excelsia University College, Koorong is positioned to continue to flourish as a space where Christians can discover rich resources, build their faith, and stay connected to a broader spiritual conversation. Excelsia brings with it not only a depth of theological and educational expertise but also a strong commitment to Christ-centred values and community impact—values that align perfectly with our own.
