Welcome to St John’s Anglican Church Soldiers Hill
A place of prayer, welcome, and hope for over 150 years.
At St John’s we gather to worship God, to share in the sacramental life of the Church, and to grow together in faith, hope, and love.
Whether you are a long-time parishioner, a returning visitor, or exploring church for the first time in years — you are welcome here.
Our Worship
Each week we gather around the altar to hear God’s Word and to receive the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
Our worship is rooted in the Anglo-Catholic tradition: reverent, beautiful, and centred on encountering Christ in Word and Sacrament.
A Serving and Caring Community
St John’s has always been known for its pastoral warmth.
We pray for one another, care for one another, and carry each other’s burdens in Christ’s love.
If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out.
Get Involved
Our parish life is sustained by many generous hands — from servers and readers to the Op Shop volunteers, Mothers’ Union, choir, and parish councillors.
There is a place for you here.
Our Story
Since 1874, St John’s has stood as a beacon of faith on Soldiers Hill.
Our building, our worship, and our community have shaped generations of Ballarat families.
We continue to honour this heritage as we look forward with hope.

We’re located in the heart of Soldiers Hill, with easy parking and a warm welcome at the door.

May Christ’s peace be with you today and always.
