St Stephens have proved to me across a number of visits over the years that they are an earnest & inclusive congregation seeking to follow Jesus and to have a positive impact in their community in Sydney.

I have also enjoyed opportunities to have made music in this beautiful setting.

Candlelight concert listening to beautiful piano music is a delightful way to spend an hour. Beautiful calm venue

Beautiful church with musical events happening every not and then, fantastic architecture. Just the history of these buildings and the way they have been maintained is just fantastic.

I always feel I was evil and feel dizzy when I am entering a church, but this church is not so "bad" at all. So I don't feel dizzy when I am in this Church. By the way, i am a nice person.

Attended one of the candlelight musical events, very nice atmosphere, passionate musicians and well organised event procedures. Price is also reasonable for a low key concert. Highly recommended.

The ambient setting for candlelights were decent but it wasn't that dazzling. The sound didn't reach that far from instruments and a lot of the times felt muzzled

Would've loved it sooo much with some mirrors situated above and on the sides.the setting would blow up beautifully

The performers were pretty great and had a lot of technical skill

Would've loved more highlights for high and low notes more but if you enjoy the critique on balance then you won't be disappointed

Cannot make a comment on cathedral services beyond the candlelight events

A very elegant church with earthy wood vibes, I visited for a candlelight concert event and it was very grand. The seats are kinda uncomfortable and it creaks with the slightest movement so I removed a star. Overall nice atmosphere though. Though I did only visit whilst all the lights were turned off and candles illuminated the space, so it may look different otherwise.

I popped in to see Kim Falconer's concert on Friday and was so glad I did. Her performance was nuanced and she had a beautiful tone quality. A truly enjoyable concert and her joy of playing was delightful. A wonderful flutist I'd definitely love to hear again.

I love old buildings, so sad, when they are demolished needlessly. And St. Stephen's is a truly beautiful church. I attended an opera The Consul there, my first visit, and hopefully, not my last.

Lovely building. Attended a bushfire fundraising concert. Church donated the space for the event. Church felt inclusive

Second Week of Wednesday holds Jazz night in the basement. It is free but should be deserved a donation for artists. I’ve there twice but I will go more often definitely Thank you for hosting this.

Lovely old church in Macquarie street opposite NSW parliament.
Quiet reflection or a morning service with a thought provoking sermon.
Felt very welcome with tea and sandwiches after.

One of the reasons that I visit this place of worship is the glorious and heartwarming Choir. And they do welcome you regardless of backgrounds or beliefs. Friday afternoon concert inside the church is a delightful event for everyone to attend. Best of all is the friendly volunteers who look after this church. They are always happy to welcome you and invite you to go inside the Church and look around. They always have some events happening and it pays to check them out if you are keen to explore. A place so welcoming it's a delight to visit.

Friendly, welcoming people on arrival & a very tasty morning tea (the usual + cakes, s'times baclava, sandwiches). Every now & then a full lunch is provided. Now for the worship. - a Minister (the Rev Ken Day) who has a beautiful smile & a warm & engaging personality. He preaches ' practically ', applying the scripture readings (both Old & New testament) to everyday occurrences to which you can relate. Why not come alon
g & give it a try? Oh.did I forget the music (a Choir) with a combination of (mostly) Choral (1800- 1950) music but also the occasional contemporary songs (incl some jazz on the 2nd Wed of the month) And of course the well known Charles Wesley et al hymns (from " Together in Song ")
