St John's Ashfield

St John’s is a community of people who have found God’s grace in the life, death and resurrection of his Son, Jesus Christ; are learning hope because Jesus is will return in glory; and are seeking more and more to be light in our homes and neighbourhoods, workplaces and communities, because Jesus is with us by his Spirit.

At 10am, we are a diverse community of people of all ages, cultures and life experience. Our Sunday service is energetic and contemporary in style, with great music, a sermon that seeks to wrestle with the realities of life and faith, and lots of voices contributing wisdom and insight.

At 5:30, we treasure the timeless depth of a classic church service. Rich liturgy, hymns the have stood the test of time, and meeting the God of grace in his Word read, preached, and enacted in the Lord’s Supper.

Kids at St John's 10am

We love welcoming kids to St John’s! Our children’s programs are far more than child-minding: they are places for kids to learn, have fun, and get to know each other in a safe and welcoming environment.

Creche
is available for children aged 0-5. Together at creche we sing songs, hear Bible stories, and have a fantastic time with a team of experienced leaders and helpers.

Kids church is for children from years K-5. Each week kids learn from the Bible, sing songs, play games, use their creativity in craft, and form friendships together.

The Bible discussion group for kids in years 6-8 provides an opportunity for junior high schoolers to develop their Bible knowledge and integrate it with their lives, including growing healthy spiritual habits.

All leaders in our children and youth ministries have completed training and checks in line with the NSW Government and Sydney Anglican Diocese protocols around safe ministry for children and vulnerable people.
