About Us
Our Story
We’ve been part of the St Ives community for over 100 years. From humble beginnings amongst the orange orchards to a large church in a suburban gateway, much has changed over the years.
But one thing will never change. The good news of Jesus.
What we believe
Christ Church St Ives is an Evangelical Anglican church that cooperates in fellowship with other churches in the Diocese of Sydney.
Our historic and theological roots go back to the Protestant Reformation, most explicitly expressed in the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England and the Book of Common Prayer.
At Christ Church we are united in our conviction that God became one of us in the person of Jesus Christ, who was crucified and rose again to bring us forgiveness and new life, and that He is now gathering people to spend eternity with Him.
This is the good news that we encourage each other to live out in our daily lives and which we seek to share with our neighbours, family and friends. In so doing, we aim to know God better and build the church of Christ while we eagerly await his return.
Our Vision
Under God, and for his glory, to grow as a family of churches as we build wholehearted disciples of Jesus in our community, in our city and in all the world.
