Bayside Anglican Church is an Anglican church, which follows a Reformed Evangelical Protestant tradition. What does all this mean?

As Evangelical, we believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, and that it has the final authority in all things relating to matters of life and faith.

As Anglican, we belong to a historical tradition that finds its roots in the English Protestant Reformation. This provides us a shape to the style of our faith. We are part of a fellowship of churches in the Diocese of Sydney.
