Maybe you...

. . . have never been to church?

St John's is open-minded and open-hearted:

• is welcoming and friendly;



• thrives on innovative worship;

...are looking for a new church?

We can, of course, recommend St John's! We're mostly Anglicans, but our members come from several other religious backgrounds. We're a multi-racial, happy mix: singles, families with children, gays and lesbians, refugees.

Unfortunately, that's too common. We are very aware that people often feel excluded. We try hard to make every one feel included.

• Our building is wheel-chair accessible.



• We proudly consider ourselves to be a feminist church.

Again, and sadly, you're not alone. Many of us at St John's have similar painful memories.

• We're committed to healing and reconciliation.



• We're committed to making church different.
