Comments

The congregation first gathered for worship in the Church of England Day School in Barrabool Road in 1858. St John's Anglican Church building was opened in 1867 on land donated by Mr G F Belcher. The building has been expanded over the years as the congregation grew, with major additions/alterations carried out in 1990 and 2014/15.

The church celebrated 150 years of christians meeting together in 2008.

More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 30/1/2015.
