Welcome to St Stephen's Anglican Church, Bayswater

TOGETHER IN GOD, CHURCH AND COMMUNITY

St Stephen's Anglican Church of Bayswater is part of the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne.  Anglicans are Christians who belong to the world-wide Anglican Communion, originating from the Church of England.

Mission Statement

The people of St Stephen's Bayswater commit themselves to serving the people of God here and in the wider community, seeking to meet the pastoral needs of all who seek God.  We commit ourselves to grow in faith, to invite and welcome others to share in this journey.

Parish Profile

St Stephen's is an inclusive, welcoming, warm, diverse and family-friendly church in the Anglo-Catholic tradition.  Our life at St Stephen's is firmly based on the Eucharist which unites us with Jesus Christ and empowers us to love God and our neighbour as ourself.  With this as our foundation, we offer a range of spiritual, educational and social activities, along with many opportunities to serve others.

Parishioners come from near as Bayswater and as far as Richmond and Upwey.  We are a gathered congregation which is diverse with people from South Africa, Mauritius and UK.  We form a vibrant, multicultural and loving community.  There are also some members of the congregation who have come from other Christian and other traditions.

We love our music at St Stephen's.  And our choir leads the congregation in the sung parts of the Mass and hymns at our 9.30am service.
