WELCOME
Welcome to St John’s Anglican Church in Newcastle’s leafy suburb of Cooks Hill.
We’re a vibrant Christian community who have been a part of the fabric of Newcastle since the church was consecrated in 1860.
We’d love you to join us in 2025!
In addition to our worship services, St Johns also provides many opportunities to be a part of our community through our network of small groups, which include meditation, prayer and study groups. We also have a playgroup for toddlers, an eco-care team, and a youth and children’s ministry.

What is St Johns all about?
St John’s, Cooks Hill is the spiritual home for a growing community of people drawn from all across Newcastle NSW. We are from all ages and walks of life. We have in common a desire to be disciples of Jesus Christ. We want to learn more about him, we want to trust his way of living more and more. Because of this, we seek to be a church Newcastle finds open and welcoming.
Would you like more options? Try one of our other inner city Anglican churches! Christ Church Cathedral, St Peter’s Hamilton, St Augustine’s Merewether, and St John’s Cooks Hill operate in cooperation as a hub of sister churches, and between them offer a wider range of services and activities.
