St Stephen’s Uniting Church is a historic church located on Macquarie Street in central Sydney, New South Wales. It serves as an active congregation of the Uniting Church in Australia and is known for its prominent city-centre location near major civic and cultural institutions.
The church regularly hosts worship services, weddings, funerals, community gatherings and a rich programme of musical events, including organ recitals, choral performances and lunchtime concerts that attract city workers and visitors.
The congregation’s origins lie in the Presbyterian tradition, and the present Macquarie Street building dates from the early twentieth century, replacing an earlier St Stephen’s church that once stood in Phillip Street. With the formation of the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, the congregation became part of the new denomination. Today St Stephen’s continues to combine its roles as a place of Christian worship, a centre for city mission and a valued performance venue within Sydney’s cultural life.
