St John's Bentleigh is an Anglican church.  Anglican churches in Australia offer a variety of worship styles.  Here at St John's, our regular Sunday services follow the format of A Prayer Book for Australia (1995) and include songs, prayers, readings from the bible, a talk on the readings, and sharing of Holy Communion (also called the Eucharist).  We mark the seasons of the Church's year such as Christmas, Lent, Easter and Pentecost:  the church decoration and priest's clothing reflect these seasons.  Our services may include a level of ritual, such as lighting of candles and other actions to help us in our worship.  Currently we are introducing a new family style service on some Sundays: this follows a similar format but is less formal, more interactive and with contemporary family friendly music.  These services will be held at 9:30 am, please check our News and Community page to see dates.

Children are welcome at all our services.  Sunday Services at 9:30 am make special provision for children. BASE Kids provides a range of children's activities including story telling, crafts, and brain-storming exercises to engage children at an appropriate level. Our family services are intended to appeal to children, and emphasise children's participation.
