Denomination: Anglican Church
The Garrison Church (Holy Trinity, Miller’s Point) was originally a church plant from St Philip’s. It was planned at a meeting convened by Reverend William Cowper (Australia’s first parish minister) in December 1839 because the seating capacity at St Philip's Church had been outgrown by the congregation. The Foundation Stone was laid in 1840, and the current building is the same building that has been used for worship and mission for over 175 years.
The name ‘Garrison Church’ is a nickname, given because of the many regiments that have worshipped there over the years. The Garrison is one of the few buildings in Sydney with 175 years of a single united purpose: to worship God through Jesus Christ.
On November 1, 2013, The Parish of St Philip's and Holy Trinity Church merged for the purpose of our united mission to the City of Sydney in the 21st Century. We are now the Parish of Church Hill, or Church Hill Anglican for short.
