St John’s Anglican church (1841), which dates back to the earliest days of European settlement in this area, is alive in the twenty-first century with people of all ages. We look forward to welcoming you to our worship, community life and other activities. The church is open daily for prayer, reflection and visitors.
People have worshipped God at St John's for more than 170 years. All are welcome as we seek to respond to God who in Jesus took human form and reached out to us.
Hardship and setback can strike anyone—an unexpected crisis, the loss of a job, health problems, family breakdown and a number of other reasons. We are here to help and support all people in a non-judgmental manner with dignity and respect.
St John's is a popular destination for many couples, especially those requiring a more intimate worship space.
