The Anglican Parish of Eltham and Research

Welcome to St Margaret's Anglican Church in Eltham, Victoria, Australia.

We are all shocked and overwhelmed by the fires on our doorstep. Living, as we do, in terrain similar to that which was burnt, people have been saying to me, "it could have been us"! It is difficult to comprehend the scale of the devastation around us, yet at a personal level, each one of us knows friends and family members who are directly affected, one way or another, and our hearts and prayers go out to them.

The wisdom of the Christian way revolves around the shape of Jesus life. During holy week we journey with Jesus, following the pattern of his life, death and resurrection. Come and join with us and Christians through out the ages, who have felt the intimacy of fellowship on Thursday, the suffering of death on Friday and the joy of hope on Sunday. These "Great Three Days" are central to the Christian life. We pray that each may indeed "remember who you are" this Easter.

The St Margaret's Charitable Trust has launched an appeal to support those affected by the fires in our area. Please go to that section of the website for further details.

St Margaret's has been an active presence in this district since 1861, worshipping God, growing in our faith in Jesus and serving the wider community. Currently we describe our mission as:-

  • We are an Anglican community that explores, interprets and expresses our Christian Faith in the context of the changing world in which we live.

  • We will support and nurture the spiritual journeys of our parishioners and those we encounter.

  • We will serve a world in need.

    Please explore our site to get to know us better. With a committed team of volunteers supporting the site together with keen people in the parish creating a variety of events, we hope to keep the site up to date with current information that will strengthen our faith journeys and our community life.

    Grace and Peace,

    Rev Libby Delbridge,
    Parish Priest.
