This was the beginning of 'The Bridge Church', or as it was then known, 'Church by the Bridge'. In 2020, The Bridge Church and St Augustine, Neutral Bay were merged to form one parish.

Architecture
St John the Baptist, Kirribilli was designed by Edmund Blacket as a church school, in the Romanesque Revival style, and built in 1884. A vestry and sanctuary were added in 1900.
