History

The Church of St John the Baptist was founded in 1884 within the Parish of Christ Church, Lavender Bay. It subsequently became a parish. The population of Milsons Point declined following commercial development of the area in the 1970s. 

In 1983 a Chinese/Cantonese speaking congregation based in the Cathedral decided to join the congregation of St John's. The finances improved and arrears of assessments were paid.

The church was amalgamated with the Parish of Neutral Bay on 1 December 1989 to ensure continuity of ministry.  The size of the congregation increased from 1983 to 1993 by 300% due to the addition of the Chinese congregation.  In 1993 the congregation comprises approximately 10% local European residents and 90% Chinese from many parts of the Diocese.

In 2007 the Chinese (Cantonese) congregation moved to Artarmon. Bishop Davies invited Paul Dale to consider becoming curate in charge of St John’s.
