Miracle Light International Church
About us
A church family in Thornlie, Perth, for people of every age and every nation.
Who we are
Miracle Light International Church (MLIC) is a church in Thornlie, in Perth’s south-east. Young and old worship together on Sunday afternoons, and the service is preached and translated in Kirundi, Swahili and English. We sing hymns in Kirundi and Swahili, in African style, with our children’s choir and the Miracle Light Gospel Singers.
Whoever you are and wherever you come from, you are welcome here. Plan your visit to see what a Sunday is like.
