Church Hill Anglican - St. Phillip's Anglican

The oldest Anglican church parish in Australia is St. Philip's Church in Sydney. The church is situated on Church Hill in Sydney's city centre, between York, Clarence, and Jamison Streets, and is also known as "Church Hill Anglican." The Diocese of Sydney, Australia, includes St. Philip's. The church is included on the National Estate Register.

The initial church was built utilizing convict labor under the direction of the colony's first chaplain, the Reverend Richard Johnson, in June 1793, but was burned down in 1798. In 1810, a new stone church named St. Philip's was dedicated, and in 1856, it was replaced by the current structure. For at least two centuries, Sydney residents have gathered on Church Hill to worship Jesus Christ as Lord.

The foundation stone was placed in 1840, and the existing structure has served as a place of worship and outreach for more than a century. Because of the various regiments that have worshipped there over the years, the appellation "Garrison Church" is a nickname. The Garrison has been one of Sydney's few structures with a single purpose for years: to worship God via Jesus Christ. The Parish of St Philip's and Holy Trinity Church combined on November 1, 2013, for the goal of a united mission to Sydney in the twenty-first century. Church Hill Anglican is now the parish of Church Hill.
