Weddings   A wedding is one of life’s great moments. St Paul's Church provides a beautiful setting and environment for weddings and seats about 180 people. It is a popular destination for many couples, especially those requiring a more intimate worship space. The Church is open daily and we invite you to come in and experience the ambience of our Church and grounds.

Your relationship is special. LifeWorks offers a number of programs for those planning marriage.

We encourage couples seeking marriage at St Paul’s to undertake a marriage preparation course. LifeWorks brochures detailing course and cost information are available by contacting Our Ministry Team .

 

The parish has been gifted with a wonderful pipe organ which is valued at $430,000. We have a professional organist, Elizabeth Anne Nixon. We welcome soloists and other musical requests. Contact Elizabeth Anne.
