On a cold Wednesday night, dozens of devout Christians gathered at Seasoon Presbyterian Church in western Sydney.
At the Korean gathering, they sang and prayed for an hour, all in their native language.
This imagination is becoming more and more common, reflecting changes in Christian worship across Australia.
From mass in different languages to Catholic worship on weekdays, people in churches say the trend towards multiculturalism at traditional white gatherings will become increasingly evident.
At the Our Lady of Dolours Catholic Church in Chatswood, Rose Wu, who emigrated from Hong Kong to Australia 40 years ago, said he would be happy to see a growing number of different people in their places of worship.
"I see these familiar faces, and we all help each other here," Ms Wu told SBS News.
The latest census shows that many Australians are not religious.
But Our Lady of Dolours's father, Jim Mckeon, says the Asian family has allowed his Christian diocesan tradition to continue.
"there are two reasons why," he said. "the first is immigration, but the first generation basically values their religion and family culture."
"if you are a Catholic from China, the Philippines, Vietnam or South Korea, it is likely that you will come to church on a regular basis."
A recent (National Church Life) survey of church life across the country found that most of the people who went to church were Chinese under the age of 50.
Gary Bouma, emeritus professor of sociology at Monash University, told SBS News that while census data show that most new Chinese immigrants say they have no religion, 1/3 of Asian immigrants consider themselves Christians.
"Australian religious structures have always been the product of immigrants, who will come and who will arrive," he told SBS News.
Bouma says many immigrants have found a sense of community and belonging by going to church.
Reverend Fie Marino works in the United Church of (Uniting Church) in the New State and Capital Territory with a variety of multicultural groups, including Pacific Islanders, Koreans and Chinese.
Mr Marino says the older generation should be encouraged to see more people from different cultures attending mass.
"it's an exciting time for the future church," says Mr Marino. It will not be the same as it is now, it will be very different, and there will be another flavor in Australia. "
