St John’s is alive in the 21st century with people

St John’s Anglican Church (consecrated in 1845) and its historic precinct is one of Canberra’s treasures.  The Church, Churchyard and Schoolhouse Museum predate the nation’s capital by 70 years and they are living reminders of our pioneering farming community.

But most importantly, St John’s is alive in the twenty-first century with people of all ages who seek to make the precinct a place of welcome, sanctuary and hospitality for all who come.  Our Vision is “to be a vibrant Christ-centred community that engages and transforms the heart and soul of Canberra.”

We look forward to welcoming you to our worship, community life and other activities.

Christianity is an Easter faith, and Christians are Easter people.  We continue to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ for the great ‘fifty days’ from Easter to Pentecost.  Christ is risen.  He is risen indeed!

Christianity makes more sense when it is lived and experienced in community with real people.

St John’s is more than a historic building.  We are a community of people of all ages with children and youth programs. (Photo: Rodney Garnett)
