Naremburn Cammeray Anglican Church, Anglican church in Naremburn, Australia
Naremburn Cammeray Anglican Church is a parish with two ministry centres, in Cammeray and Naremburn on Sydney's lower North Shore. The Naremburn building on Willoughby Road was rebuilt as a ministry centre completed in late 2009; the Cammeray building was redeveloped and finished in June 2017. The parish runs four Sunday services: 9am Cammeray, 10am Naremburn, 3pm SJEC at Cammeray and 6pm Naremburn.
St Cuthbert's Naremburn and All Saints' Cammeray were separate parishes for decades; in the late 1970s they merged, when the combined parish held four churches, three halls and two rectories. By 1997 two churches had been sold, the halls demolished and the rectories replaced by a new one on site. A church plant from St Thomas North Sydney, led by Rick Smith, reversed congregation numbers, and by 2013 NCA had nine congregations with Sunday attendance over 600.
The Sydney Japanese Evangelical Church (SJEC) meets at the Cammeray centre at 3pm each Sunday, with services in Japanese; visitors are welcome. Grahame and Cathy Smith, who had spent 18 years as CMS missionaries in Japan, were inducted as its ministers in April 2009.
