Welcome to the website of the beautiful, historic Church of St Paul's, Burwood, an Anglican parish in the inner-western suburbs of Sydney.

At St Paul's you will find a welcoming community of people who value Christian fellowship and traditional Anglican worship sometimes referred to as "High Church".

As a congregation committed to spreading the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, we seek to share God's unconditional love for all people, through prayer, praise, fellowship and our varied ministries.

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we would be delighted to welcome you as a parishioner or have you join us at one of our regular services or parish activities.

Information about our services of worship and activities is provided on other pages of the website. The site also provides information for those wishing to arrange baptism (infant or adult), their wedding, a funeral, or to hire one of the church halls.

As you explore our website, please offer a prayer for us, our ministry in Burwood, the Anglican Communion, and the whole Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
