St John's Anglican Church and its historic precinct is one of Canberra's treasures - an oasis of quiet and beauty in the heart of our nation's capital.

​

Since its founding in 1841, people have come to St John's to worship God, to learn the way of Jesus, and to be nourished by a church community.
 

Many find their experience of worship enhanced by the stained glass windows, works of art, historic monuments and powerful pipe organ.

​

The historic schoolhouse and surrounding churchyard - hosting the graves of many pioneering families and significant Canberrans - witnesses to the 'communion of saints' cherished by Christians.

​

Through our emergency relief centre (St John's Care), we seek to show the love of Christ to the vulnerable in our community.

​

If you are seeking a church family - even if you are unsure what you believe - we invite you to share in our rhythm of worship, prayer and community life.
