Reviews for St Matthews Manly - Darley Smith Building
Sally Webb
Wow, what an amazing evening. It was an absolute delight to be with you at your 5pm service on 30 June. The warm welcome, the seamless teamwork, the prayer, worship team and message were clear, concise and outstanding. It was a real joy to see an Anglican Church flowing so beautifully in the Holy Spirit. Abundant blessings to all.
John Private
Excellent experience. I'm non religious but found myself singing along to the large words projected on a big screen. Peaceful message, good music, good musicianship.

Friendly, vibrant Christian church community in the centre of Manly. Four services each Sunday catering for all age groups, tastes and preferences of worship, traditional and contemporary music, fabulous organist at early service playing traditional hymns and an enthusiastic band for contemporary songs. Good biblical teaching. A great Welcome to visitors.

Very friendly welcome and good to chat to others. Encouraging message on the book Esther and wonderful to hear about the youth camp involving 100+ and starting the year with commitment of prayer and fasting. Music team ministered well except it was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves or others sing. What a blessing to have a bright light shining in Manly!

I went to St Matt's Sunday night 24/4/23 service today at 6:30pm. The worship music is always excellent Mr Dave who sings is one of the best worship singers I have ever heard. The Christmas service is a yearly highlight for me the worship music is excellent. I didn't like the fact that St Matt's Anglican are mixing religion and politics. It's clear from the preacher and the minister that they are trying to influence a Yes vote for the voice. While I personally haven't decided on a position yet. I don't go to church to be influenced one way or another. Leave politics out of Christianity please. Putting the guilts on the congregation about God and Jesus are a Yes for the voice. It's quite disheartening that they are trying to influence a political Yes campaign. I nearly walked out but decided to stay and listen it's a pity they are pushing this position on the youth. I suggest keeping night church about worshipping God through the bible, prayer, worship music and fellowship. I probably won't be going back after hearing the preacher from Bush Church Aid and the minister follow up in support of this political message. Church should keep out of political matters and explicitly taking a position and trying to influence the congregation it's a big NO NO!!! While it wasn't explicitly said vote yes. The tone and content of the preacher and minister message it's so obvious what they are trying to do influence a Yes Vote for the voice Politics and religion do not mix especially in Church. Thanks for listening to my review. Also RIP Barry Humphries aka Dame Edna I didn't even hear them mention this at the service. A great Australian who will be missed!
