Who hasn’t felt a sense of peace descend upon entering a beautiful church? St. Albans Anglican Church in the heart of Hamlyn Heights is no exception. Don’t let its unassuming exterior fool you. This church holds over a century of stories within its walls. The church, officially known as St. Alban the Martyr Anglican Church, was erected in 1910. It quickly became the spiritual heart of this small village, then on the outskirts of Melbourne. The church we see today is not just a place of worship. It’s a testament to the generosity of its parishioners, particularly Gladys and Harry Coone, whose bequest kickstarted a major building project. This project, fueled by donations and grants, aims to make St. Albans Anglican Church even more welcoming. Imagine a bright, spacious foyer leading into a revitalized space. This is not just a renovation, but a symbol of the church’s commitment to growing in Christ, growing in love, and helping grow the Kingdom.
