What should I wear?

God has no interest in what you wear and neither do we! Please come as you feel most comfortable.

Does it cost money?

No. The reason Christianity is such good news is that forgiveness is free because God has paid for it. Because of this everyone is welcome to come to church free of charge, and we don’t ask guests to contribute to our costs.

Can anyone come?

The message about Jesus is the best news in the world, and is for everyone! We’re always delighted to welcome anyone and everyone whatever your background, spiritual stage, age or gender.

Where & when can I find a service?

You can find us each Sunday at 10am (contemporary service and Kids programmes) at Wellesley College Hall, Day’s Bay. Click on Worship for more services.

Looking for something else?

Welcome Home

St Alban’s Church is a church community with music-filled worship, opportunities for prayer, discipleship and fellowship, a children and families’ ministry, and a commitment to being a blessing in our wider world and community.

There are many ways that you can join us in connecting with God. We enjoy the presence of God through the beauty of our Anglican liturgy with traditional hymns and contemporary songs of worship, through more informal praise and worship services, deep breaths of God’s presence through Centering Prayer and quiet retreats, or through the fun and fellowship of children and families gatherings.

We offer opportunities for you to discover, grow and deepen your Christian faith, through study groups, prayer, and fellowship groups such as women's evenings, guys' group and discipleship gatherings. Our children's and families programme is for pre-schoolers to teenagers, including Sunday Club, family worship services and youth and young adult groups.
