Our Vision: To be a growing, joyful community serving Christ

  • Growth: to develop discipleship within the Church family, strongly encouraging fellowship and social interaction across the Parish

  • Family: to develop our relationship with young families, particularly those who bring their children to the Church for Baptism.

  • Worship: to ensure that the services offered are effective in guiding the Parish towards achieving its vision.

Our Goals:
Growth, Family and Worship

Please meet our Rector, The Venerable Lizzie Gaitskell, who is also the Archdeacon of The West and our Assistant Curate Rev'd Richard Butler.  Warwick is a thriving town of 12,000+ people situated 160 kilometres southwest of Brisbane bordering on fertile farmlands and the rolling hills of the Great Dividing Range.  The area was settled in 1840 by the Leslie brothers who began the tradition of the pastoralist, sheep and wool industry in Queensland. Anglican worship in this area commenced in 1848 and continues today in the beautiful and historical sandstone Church of St. Mark's in Warwick as well as in three (3) other daughter Churches within the parish.

Jesus was always active in his local community and far beyond.  He met people where they were and offered them God's kindness, healing and grace.  We belong to a community too, and we offer a range of community events, both social and spiritual which bring people together in different ways.  These include the May Parish Fete, Art@St.Mark's as part of Jumpers and Jazz in July Festival, and our annual Community Christmas Tree Festival, along with the occasional social events, Senior Care Concerts, Gents Coffee Morning (monthly) and our regular ministry to local Aged Care homes, Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals.  

Through the efforts of many dedicated lay people, the Anglican Church in Warwick delivers special ministry to the aged people in our local nursing homes, hospitals and the house bound. Home communion and hospital communion are taken, and special follow-up visits are made to those who have recently left hospital. In addition there are active bible study groups seeking to discern the word and will of God.  We look forward to welcoming you into our faith community.

In March 2018, St Mark's Anglican Church of Warwick celebrated the 150th Anniversary of the laying of its dedication stone by Bishop Tufnell.  However, due to soft stone and the difficulty of establishing adequate foundations, the landmark Church is now in need of extensive repair estimated at approximately $1 million.  Can you help? All donations are gratefully received. Link to Give page.
