St Stephen's Uniting Church, Gothic church in Sydney central business district, Australia
St Stephen's Uniting Church stands at 197 Macquarie Street and features a sandstone exterior with carved stone details and colored glass windows in the style of the 1930s. Inside, the building offers soaring spaces designed for worship and musical performances.
The congregation began in 1842 on Phillip Street and later moved to a prefabricated iron building before settling at its current location in 1935. The present structure was completed in 1937 and holds heritage status today.
The church serves as a gathering place for people who love classical music and organ performances in the heart of the city. It holds deep meaning for the local music community, particularly through its support of young musicians.
The building welcomes visitors for services and offers monthly concerts and organ music performances. It is conveniently located in the city center and maintains accessible visiting times for the public.
The building houses one of Australia's few working electronic tubular bell carillons from the 1960s. Combined with a pipe organ featuring 61 stops, this makes it a special venue for musical performances.
