I have been attending this church for just over 2 years now, at the 5pm service and I love it. Such…read morea variety of people from so many backgrounds are ready to chat to anyone who walks in to visit. Don't at all be surprised if you meet an engineer or someone in the health profession (nurses, dentists, doctors, etc.) - it is not a requirement that you are in these professions, it just appears that many people have drawn together here. There are many families, couples and single people doing life together and you do really feel the community here. The 5pm service runs at the same time as a young adults group called Fusion, running from about 4:30-6pm, including dinner, during the school term. There's also a creche for the smaller kids that runs during the 5pm service. After this service, supper is had together in another part of the church so you can come have a hot beverage to warm you, nibbles to survive you till you have dinner and mingle with some truly genuinely lovely people. So, whether you want to come and meet Jesus, meet new people, meet a friend, or maybe you just want to ask a question or few, you will be more than welcomed.

Adelaide's first Church. Multiple church services - 9 am,…read more10:30 am, 5 pm and 7 pm. The 10:30 am service is specially for families and children. Very friendly. I did not know anyone here, but was made to feel very welcome. Very impressed. Worth visiting.

Flinders Street Baptist Church in the city is not only a beautiful building but it seems to be a…read morechurch with a difference. Building began on this church back in 1861 and was completed 2 years later when it opened for worship. This particular church is a popular location for weddings in Adelaide. What I like about their approach is that they will allow you to either have the resident minister conduct your ceremony or you can organise for a minister of your choice to do the honours. This is a stunning heritage listed church and would make a great location for any wedding. I do remember though when my brother was married there many years ago, it was at the end of a week long traditional Adelaide heat wave and the church itself was Hot! Mind you at that point everywhere you turned was hot. Every Tuesday at 1 in the afternoon there is a musical event at Flinders Street called 'Tuesday on Flinders'. Anyone is welcome to drop in and enjoy. Nice touch. Additionally there are rooms available within the church ground that are available to the public to hire for private events and / or meetings. While the church itself is only open for a couple of hours on Tuesdays and Wednesday - and of course Sunday mornings for services - the office is open 9am-3.30pm, Monday, 9am-5pm Tue, Wed, Thurs and 9am-1.00pm Friday.

I thought I'd put a church on the old reviewer's chopping block. I'm not a religious man, myself,…read morebut neither am I a Richard Dawkins (who I think's a bit of a twat, really. Christopher Hitchens is my atheist of choice), but I'm a hopeful agnostic: one who is skeptical, and thinks generally that we'll never know about the mysteries of the cosmos, but one who always hopes he might. The church was locked tight, with some very flashy doors barring the way to peace and enlightenment. (I found out post-review writing that you have to enter the back way for some good old-fashioned pew-sitting.) However, there was a sign directing me to help myself to a sit down on a 'sofa of hay'. I found a tucked away sofa, assembled from hay, and decided to take a seat. To my surprise and exclamation, it was quite comfortable. This is the sort of absurd quaintness that I love to discover. It's the sort of thing we forget about in our age of technology, and it was a remarkable find I shall endeavour to visit again the moment I can. If you're ever on Flinders Street, gentle readers, seek it out.

It's Sunday and you don't want to do anything before 12pm?…read more Don't worry, your day is not wasted, you can still get to church by 12:30pm not for the religious adventures but to explore this amazing building on a FREE guided tour! (Free tours also run on Wednesdays at 11am) Adelaide was the City of Churches before it became the City of Pubs and every Adelaidian should visit St Peter's to find out why. This place is truly spectacular and after going on a tour with a wonderful local guide I can now tell you why... The foundation stone of this beautiful church was laid in 1869 yet the church was not complete with the internal and external facade you see until 1910 (41 years later)! Initially plans for the cathedral were taken from William Butterfield and if these had been followed the cathedral would hardly be recognised as the one we have in front of us today. Instead the plans were interpreted by heavily french influenced Edward John Woods, which is why the gothic looking building stands ominously over King William Rd. One other little beauty in this church is the mix of contemporary and traditional British stained glass windows. Cedar Prest is the well renowned SA artist responsible for the contemporary windows, reflecting the land and symbolic images that represent what us Radelians like to call our home.

It has been ages since I've actually been into the church, despite actually living in Adelaide…read more Actually, I really do appreciate how some of these churches leave the doors open to allow people to wander in and walk around, and this church is certainly no exception (though there is some volunteer sitting there ready to help people out, and to answer any questions). I wouldn't necessarily say that it is impressive, not compared to some churches that I've visited, but for a cathedral in Australia, it still isn't all that bad.
