About Kellyville Anglican Church

Kellyville Anglican Church is a warm and welcoming church community for people of all ages and stages. Our vision is to change the course of people’s story with Jesus. Situated in the growing north-west corridor of Sydney, the estimated population within a 5km radius will hit two hundred thousand people by the year 2030 and we have a big heart to reach as many of these people as we can. Over the past four years we have seen substantial growth to the point we now welcome over 700 people across a weekend.

Our youth ministry, which currently welcomes 80 teenagers on average each Friday night, reflects this same heart. It is a lively and welcoming space where teenagers can have fun, build friendships, grow deeply in their love of Jesus, and be on mission to those who don’t know Jesus yet.
