St John's Anglican church

St John’s 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. The church, churchyard and schoolhouse predate the nation’s capital by almost 70 years.

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.

Our vision is to be ‘a vibrant Christ-centred community that engages and transforms the heart and soul of Canberra’.
