About Us
Our church is all about Jesus Christ, the Son of God! Everything we do seeks to connect people with Jesus & with each other. Our members come from Sylvania, Sylvania Waters, Kangaroo Point, Kareela and from all over the Sutherland Shire & beyond! When you come to our church or any of its activities, you’ll notice that we are energetic about three things:
Preaching
About Jesus Christ from the Bible.
Prayer
For each other, our community & our world.
People
Helping people to connect with each other in genuine ways.
We look forward to meeting you at one of our gatherings!
Our Beliefs
As a Church we are convinced that Jesus Christ is Lord and that the greatest need of every man, woman, and child in Sylvania and beyond is to have a restored relationship with the God who made them. God in his love has done everything needed to make this possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus, and we receive this gracious gift by trusting in what Jesus has achieved for us.
Christianity Explored is a great way to find out more about Jesus and what it means to be a Christian.
Sylvania Anglican Church is an Evangelical Anglican Church in the Diocese of Sydney. We believe that the Bible is God’s word and is our supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. Our historical and theological roots are found in the Protestant Reformation and these convictions we share are expressed in the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Anglican Church and the Book of Common Prayer.
The core values that shape what we do and what we teach can be summarised as:
- In Christ Alone
- By Grace Alone
- Through Faith Alone
- Revealed in the Bible Alone
- For God’s Glory Alone
