St John's Ashfield

St John’s is a community of people learning to let the rich depths of God’s grace in Jesus shine through all the ups and downs of life in the Inner West. 
‍
Some of us are here for the long term, and some of us are just passing through; but while we’re here, we’ll walk and wrestle together to reflect God’s love for the world more and more in our own lives and beyond.

Everything you need to visit to St John's this Sunday

Finding your way

St John's is located at 81 Alt St Ashfield.

Our car park is accessible from Alt St. There is also street parking available on Alt St and Bland St.

Arriving at St John's

The services start at 10am and 5:30pm.

Coffee & food is served beforehand at our morning service. Come from 9:30am to grab a coffee and meet some people, or arrive just before 10am for the beginning of the service. A welcomer will greet you at the door and help you settle in.

At the afternoon service, you will be warmly greeted by the sounds of the pipe organ and the ministry team.

During the service

Services at 10am run for about an hour and 20 minutes.

We sing together, learn from the Bible, pray for one another and for the world, and hear stories of God’s work in the lives of our community.

After the service, we catch up over morning tea.
‍
‍Services at 5:30pm run for 1 hour.

The afternoon service is a classic communion service, enjoying the richness and depth of the Lord's Supper liturgy that has stood the test of time.

Hymns are sung to the pipe organ, with a reflective tone.

Little Kids at St John's

Tiny Kids Church, which runs only at the 10am service, is for 0-5 year olds.

Tiny Kids Church runs upstairs in the Ministry Centre. Parents sign their children in before the service begins and pick them up at the end of the service.

School Kids at St John's

‍Kids Church (at the 10am service) runs for school aged children in years K-6.

School aged kids join with the adults for the beginning of the service. After the opening songs, Kids Church begins downstairs in the Ministry Centre. Kids are signed into to Kids Church by their parents, and are returned by their leaders to the morning tea area at the end of the service.

Gospel Communities

Gospel Communities are the heart of our life together as family in Christ. Either weekly or fortnightly, we gather to nurture authentic community, share stories, celebrate joys, carry burdens, pray, and apply the Bible to everyday life.

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.
