Parents, grandparents, and carers are invited to bring their children along (from babies through to pre-schoolers) to enjoy playtime, sing-along songs, musical instruments and movement, engaging Bible stories and morning tea together. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet other local families and for your children to learn, explore and make new friends.
At St Annes, we have a number of Sunday gatherings held in our Historic Church and our Auditorium. Each service is unique in character, and yet are all distinctly St Annes.
St Annes is a church family from many different backgrounds united by Christ.

Ordinary people, extraordinary God
Jesus makes a difference
St Annes is filled with stories of people who have experienced God’s love. We celebrate how God has taken our lives and crafted them into beautiful stories of peace, hope and joy. Hear their stories for yourself and discover the difference Jesus makes.
Allen’s story
Growing up, I compared myself to others and felt insecure. But then I discovered about the servant leadership of Jesus, the king who doesn’t compare me to others.
I was very shocked and shaken when I found out that my cancer had returned after 35 years. But I didn’t lose hope because my best friend Jesus had always been there for me and I looked forward to being in his presence.
Australia was a foreign place and I felt lonely and lost. I had no time to think about religion but then my son got really sick and I prayed to God hoping he would hear me. Then everything changed.

Our Connect Groups are small gatherings of Christians who meet together weekly to read the Bible and pray for one another. These small groups provide opportunities to engage with Sunday’s sermon, for questions to be asked, and to deepen friendships, receive support and pastoral care.
We run “Christianity Explored” or “Faith Explored” courses each term. These courses are open to anyone wanting to explore who Jesus is and find out the foundations of the Christian faith. There is time for mingling, asking questions and engaging with the Bible alongside others.
For 4 weeks across the school holiday weeks, we’ll be exploring God’s relentless grace through the book of Jonah. Our student minister Cameron will be preaching the series. Everyone is welcome!
