Our Building

Our building is an oasis in the legal and business district of Sydney, opposite the NSW State Parliament, and in the same street as the Opera House and Hyde Park. You are welcome to come in during the day, sit in the worship space, and enjoy the peace and tranquillity. Opened in 1937, St Stephen's building is a significant example of the Inter War Gothic architectural style, one of three extant churches in that style.
If the congregation is gathered for a service of worship, please join us. If there are musicians or choirs rehearsing, please stay and listen to the rehearsal, and enjoy the music.
If there is a concert, you are also welcome to become part of the audience. Admittance to some performances is free or by donation, while others will require you to purchase a ticket.

Stained Glass Windows
Stained glass windows depict stories and people from the Bible, as well as commemorating significant people and events within the church.
Our windows with medallions of heraldic and scriptural subjects were designed by Norman St Clair Carter and dedicated over thirty years from 1935 when St Stephen's was rebuilt on the current site. In each window there are two medallions depicting scenes from the Bible. At the bottom of each window is a replica of a coat of arms in some way related to the person who gave the window, or the person in whose memory the window was given. The etched verses are from the King James Bible.
