A Shelter for Honest Questions.

Welcome to L’Abri in Brisbane. We offer warm hospitality and a space for you to explore the truth and meaning of life.
What is L’Abri?

Honest answers for honest questions.

We all have questions. Questions about our lives. Questions about what is real. Questions about how we should live.

L’Abri is a French word meaning ‘the shelter’. We offer hospitality to people from all backgrounds and nationalities while we search together for honest answers to life’s important questions, believing that Christianity gives us a basis for finding truth for every aspect of life.

“WE MUST GIVE HONEST ANSWERS TO HONEST QUESTIONS. CHRISTIANITY IS TRUTH, TRUTH THAT GOD HAS TOLD US, AND IF IT IS TRUTH, IT CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS.”

FRANCIS SCHAEFFER

What is L’Abri?
A Note From Our Home

For over 60 years, L’Abri communities around the world have offered Christian hospitality to people from all walks of life. We open our homes to provide a safe space where your questions are taken seriously and you can find rest from the pressures of modern life.

Unlike a residential L’Abri, our work here in Brisbane is in its early days and operates out of our family home. We believe in the power of simple hospitality—a shared meal, an open conversation, a quiet moment to think. We are so glad you’re here and would be delighted to welcome you personally.

Food for Thought
A collection of L’Abri lectures online. The library contains over 2,500 lectures presenting Christian ideas that engage contemporary issues, the history of thought, religious topics, Christian doctrine, personal questions and more.
