St Johns is an Anglican Church which serves the people of East Sydney: Darlinghurst, Woolloomooloo, Potts Point, Rushcutters Bay, Elizabeth Bay and Kings Cross. About 30,000 people live in this area. Over the weekend the visiting population can swell to well over 100,000.
Within a short walk you move from the 3rd wealthiest to the 5th poorest localities in Sydney. The Cross is an entertainment area with major hotels catering for international tourists. Therefore it draws people across a wide range of social strata, including backpackers, visiting sailors, the wealthy and influential, the marginalised and street people, the elderly and the emotionally damaged. St Johns church is in a strategic location to reach out with innovative ministries.
All our services and activities focus on our becoming a reconciling community in East Sydney. We are a diverse body of people united in God's love made known in Jesus' death. At St. Johns you will find a wide range of activities that seek to allow us to let our life speak of bringing the love and justice of the King to the Cross
There are several groups which meet throughout the week. Belonging to a smaller group is often the key factor in developing deeper connections within our diverse community. There are a variety of times and places that groups meet: hopefully we can find one that suits you.
