Our Churches

The wooden building of St Mark’s Church of England, Balnarring, was constructed in 1914 at the junction of Balnarring Road and the Frankston Flinders Road and dedicated on 26 April 1914. Following the First World War, the site was further distinguished by its pine trees, some of them a memorial to local fallen soldiers. In August 2017, Bishop Paul Barker dedicated the extensions to and renovation of the church, its hall and op shop, now integrated into a single complex. The gift of the organ from Whitley College has provided an added blessing, being an instrument well suited to its new environment.

St. Mark’s has a beautiful labyrinth and space for the community to gather.

The Church of St John the Evangelist, Flinders was dedicated on 28 January 1892. The building was designed by architect William Barker and was constructed in brick in the Gothic style. The original building consisted of nave of four bays, western porch and a small sanctuary. On 11 June 1935, major additions to the church were dedicated. These consisted of transepts, sanctuary and vestry, all designed by architect George Smith. The church was completely repainted in 2023.

Inside the church are five majestic stained glass windows by David Wright OAM and the Revd Sue McPhee Wright. Information about the windows can be found at https://www.stjohnsflinderswindows.com
