St John's Anglican Church (1841) and its historic precinct is one of Canberra's treasures. It is an oasis of quiet and beauty in the heart of our nation's capital.
Over those decades, people have come to St John's to worship, to experience the good news of Jesus and to be nourished by belonging to a church community.
The church's ambience, pipe organ, bells, stained glass windows and other works of art have enhanced their worship and spiritual lives.
We invite you to ‘come and see’ (the great invitation made by Jesus himself to his early followers) if our St John’s community is a fit for you!
