Services
Sunday Service Times
All our services seek to help people connect to Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, grow in their love for him as his disciples,
and equip them to serve him in every area of life. Each service has its own unique style and approach,
thoughtfully crafted to support these goals. You’ll find more details about each service below.
8 am Sunday
Each week, we gather for a prayer book service. On the 4th Sunday of the month, we share in Holy Communion, and on 5th Sundays, we hold a Morning Prayer service.
There’s a genuine warmth and sense of fellowship among our congregation—a place where friendships grow and newcomers are always welcome.
On the 1st Sunday of the month, we enjoy ‘Tea N Toast’ together after the service in the church office lounge—a relaxed time to chat and connect.
10 am Sunday
Our Sunday service is relaxed and welcoming. Around 50-60 adults and 15-20 children and teens from all backgrounds and walks of life gather together—and no matter your story, you’ll feel right at home.
You can expect vibrant music with contemporary songs, engaging Bible teaching that connects with everyday life, and moments of prayer and reflection. The service is easy to follow, supported by clear multimedia and also live-streamed for those joining from home.
After the service, we share morning tea together—a great opportunity to connect and build relationships. On the first Sunday of each month, we enjoy lunch together in the hall, and everyone is warmly invited.
Children are very welcome! During the service, they can join age-specific programs:
5 PM Sunday
Donald Robinson Village, Kirrawee
The Sunday@5 service is all about relationships—growing in our connection with God and with one another. Based in the Anglican tradition, the service is warm, welcoming, and open to people from all denominations and backgrounds.
There’s a strong sense of community and participation, especially from members of the DRV community, with a shared desire to reach out locally and globally with the love of Jesus. Whether you’re exploring faith or looking for a church to call home, you’re very welcome at Sunday@5.
Coordinators: Rev. Craig Stalder and Faye Hillier, DRV Chaplains
6 pm Sunday
Our 6 pm service brings together around 30–40 adults each Sunday to share in uplifting worship, engaging Bible teaching, and times of prayer. It's a space where people come to encourage one another and grow in faith together.
One of the best-kept secrets at St John’s is the fabulous supper that regularly follows the service—an enjoyable and relaxed time to connect, catch up, and build friendships.
On the 1st Sunday of the month, we skip supper and enjoy a shared dinner in the hall after the service, where conversations often linger and people stay to chat and pray. The service wraps up by 7:30 pm, making it ideal for workers and uni students wanting to start the week well and still get home at a good hour.
