St Paul's Anglican Carlingford

St Paul's is building for the future!

We’re investing in the ministry infrastructure that will serve our community for generations to come.

What God is doing at St Paul's

God is at work at St Paul’s: children’s ministries are thriving, youth groups reach over 120 teenagers weekly, and mid-week programs connect with our growing community.

With Parramatta LGA set to grow by 75% over the next 20 years, our current facilities are stretched beyond capacity.

The need

Our children and youth need purpose-built spaces, and staff work in outdated temporary facilities.

Phase 2 of the North Hall project gives us the chance to create spaces that welcome, disciple and support the people God is bringing to us for the next 50 years.

The moment

Just as previous generations built the sandstone church, the current site and the North Hall, we now have the privilege to invest in the future. Faithful stewardship means creating space for growth and ministry opportunities God is placing before us.

“One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.” Psalm 145:4

Project plans

The Ministry Centre will provide purpose-built children’s and youth spaces, including dedicated rooms for different age groups and proper amenities for pre-schoolers.

Youth spaces will enable both large gatherings and small cohort-based groups, allowing Salt Youth to meet together and then split into year- and gender-based small groups.

A smaller part of this project is that modern staff facilities will replace our 50-year-old building and temporary structures.
