Our Services

We hold eight services each Sunday. Our services are conducted in one of four languages (i.e., English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Farsi) and one in a bilingual format (i.e., Mandarin/English).

We are proud of our Evangelical Anglican heritage. All our services have a solid focus on teaching from God’s Word but the style of service varies across the spectrum from traditional to contemporary.

CANTONESE

9:15 am

A weekly meeting in Cantonese and held in the main hall, with morning tea to follow. See our sister website  www.chinese.stjohnscathedral.org.au for more information. During the meeting infants, children (KFC)  and high school-ers (SMURF) join with families from the 9:30 am service for their own activities.

ENGLISH

8:00 am

A traditional Anglican prayer book service of Holy Communion held in English and in the cathedral. Members often have coffee or breakfast together after the service.

9:30 am & 11:00 am

These are contemporary meetings held in English and in the cathedral. These services are similar in many ways but have their own individual character. Stay for morning tea after the 9:30 am service or join the regular lunch crowd after the 11am service. During the meeting infants, children (KFC at 9:30 am; Children’s Sunday School at 11:00 am) and high school- ers (SMURF at 9:30 am; CYBS at 11:00 am) enjoy their own activities.

7:00 pm

Our Sunday at Seven meeting, which is enriched by an extraordinary blend of ages and cultures, is particularly attractive to young workers and students. While we have a relaxed vibe in our service, we are anxious to see each other advance in our knowledge of God through Bible teaching.

ENGLISH/MANDARIN

2:00 pm

Our newest meeting is bilingual Mandarin and English, and is held in the main hall. Young adults who are partially fluent in one or other language will be greatly encouraged by this service. See our sister website www.chinese.stjohnscathedral.org.au for more information.

FARSI

5:00 pm

Our Farsi language service is held in the main hall and has its own music and character. Stay for one of our regular dinners after the service. A program for school-age children is also offered.   Contact: Michael Safari 9639 5914
