About UsSt James and St Peter Anglican Church was dedicated in 1976 by Archbishop Sir Frank Woods. It was an amalgamation of two smaller churches within the Parish, St James Kilsyth (founded 1911) and St Peters Montrose (founded 1906). Hence, the two Saints names for the Parish.
The current church building is located between the original two centres. In recent years, we have been joined by Parishioners of St Francis in the Fields, Mooroolbark. We are a small, but active church, with Sunday and Wednesday worship services and bible study groups. We also hold monthly Open Shed, regular Fetes, a Book Fair, as well as other social events. You are very welcome to come and find out more about us. |
Who We Are |
Anglicans hold the Christian Faith
Anglicans hold the Christian faith that finds its origins in the person and teaching of Jesus Christ, as mediated by the Scriptures (the Bible) and summarised in the Creeds of the early and undivided church. In this, Anglicans are on common ground with most other Christian traditions – including that of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches. With Christians everywhere, Anglican’s believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; that God the Son entered the world in a decisive way and lived among us as Jesus of Nazareth; and that the dying and rising again of Jesus of Nazareth is the means by which all persons might be reconciled to God, having been separated from God by sin.
