The Parish Church of St James’ King Street

We value our vital links with the broader Anglican Communion across Australia and around the world

Consecrated in 1824, as part of the major construction programme initiated by Governor Lachlan Macquarie, St James’ Church is now the oldest existing church building in the City of Sydney. It has been the venue for many historic events including the enthronement of the first, and only, Bishop of Australia, William Grant Broughton (for whom the church became his cathedral). Through history, St James has been a place of ministry to a diversity of people in the past to the great array of people who work and live in the city today. The building itself exercises its own ministry as a place of peace and refuge. It is open each day for prayer and reflection and is a venue for regular cultural events, especially through the church’s music programme. The church is also a place of education, hospitality and gathering for people from across Sydney and further afield.
