A church for a growing community

Around Barneys

More than half a million people live within 5 kilometres of Barneys

More than half are age 34 or under

34% were born overseas

24% are students

14% are university students

Population to grow by 40% over next 2 decades


The people of St Barnabas want our church to once again become a life-affirming hub for the more than half a million people who live within five kilometres of Barneys – around 12% of Sydney’s total population.

The new Barneys has been designed to serve our growing community. The precinct that surrounds our church is rapidly changing. The population is increasing dramatically and more people are coming to work and study in this revitalised part of the city. In fact, the population around Barneys is set to expand by approximately 40% over the next two decades.

We want the Barneys family to grow in both numbers and depth, ensuring that the word 'community' has real meaning.
